Tin Hau Temple, Aberdeen: A Grade III Historic Temple in Southern District

Tin Hau Temple, Aberdeen sits on Aberdeen Main Road in Southern District. According to 香港自遊樂在18區, local fishermen raised funds to build it in the first year of Xianfeng in the Qing dynasty (1851). Once by the sea, it is now surrounded by busy streets after reclamation. The temple is dedicated to Tin Hau and uses a two-hall, three-bay layout, with a rare Shiwan ceramic sculpture of female figures on the main hall ridge. It keeps Qing artefacts, including a bell cast in the fourth year of Yongzheng (1726), and was rated a Grade III historic building in 2010. Many worshippers visit on Tin Hau's birthday, the 23rd day of the third lunar month. For planning, the source suggests using Hong Kong eMobility with Aberdeen Reservoir Road Garden as the destination. Check official updates on opening arrangements and hours before you go.
