Tin Hau Temple
10 Tin Hau Temple Road, Causeway Bay

The temple was built by the Tai family probably in the early 18th Century. They often went to Causeway Bay to gather grass and some family members found a statue of Tin Hau near the shore. They erected a shelter for the statue and, as it became more popular, a proper temple building was built with donations from local boat people .

Directions
Bus no. 25 from the bus terminus outside Pier no. 7 in Central, alight at Tin Hau Temple Road. Or MTR Tin Hau station (Exit B), cross the road and walk along Tin Hau Temple Road. The temple is on the right.
