The Temple in Old Town
View Larger Map
When you walk around in Sai Kung Old Town, you may find the renovated Temple Square in front of the old temple honored Tin Hau (or Mazu named by Taiwanese). She is one of well known goddesses in Chinese communities because she helped fishermen to return home safely.
This well preserved temple has served the fishermen for many years. According to the formality in Chinese architecture culture, it is a tiny but a nice temple in typical Lingnan style. The green tiles and china bricks on the roof are decorated with lots of sculptures of deities and famous characters in traditional Chinese novels. The wall paintings pictured the wishes and fortunes. It is worth for you to pay a visit.
