TIN HAU TEMPLE

Located at Main Street, the temple is dedicated, as its name indicates, to the goddess of the sea. Two granite lions (which the inhabitants usually caresser) keep the entrance to the temple; they are Western style, because at the time of their installation about years back, no Chinese lion's Carver was available! Inside, behind a red screen (to prevent bad spirits from entering), a socket contains the representations of Tin and veiled Tin Hau.
