Hau Kok Tin Hau Temple

The temple was originally built at the seashore and facing the sea but nowadays is facing the Tuen Mun River. It is in close distance from the Tuen Mun MTR station. Currently, there is a large empty space in front of the temple on which there is a gate. During the annual Tin Hau Festival, the space turns into celebrations and during the Lunar New Year there is a fair. The goddess of Tin Hau protects the fishermen, which is why the temple was built originally. It was first constructed in 1637 and renovated frequently. As workers of the salt mines arrived and the area prospered, the temple also experienced its heyday. The latest reconstruction took place in 1989.
