The Tin Hau Temple in Causeway Bay is a declared monument and the local area, known as Tin Hau, derives it’s name from the sea goddess. This particular temple is over 200 years old, and one of the most active in Hong Kong, during the Tin Hau festival queues form down the street. A pair of fiery dragons stand guard at the entrance to ward of evil spirits.
