Famous temples

Famous Tin Hau temples in Hong Kong include:

Festivals

Two temples have a marine parade to celebrate the Tin Hau Festival : Tin Hau Temple on Leung Shuen Wan (High Island)[3] and Tin Hau Temple on Tap Mun, which has it once every ten years.[4] [5]

The celebration at Tin Hau Temple, Joss House Bay is attended annually by upwards of 40,000 to 50,000 people. Another large celebration takes place at the Tai Shu Ha temple in Yuen Long District.[6]

Guardian Gods

In the larger Chinese temples, the statues of two Guardian Gods may be found on either side of the main altar. In the case of Tin Hau temples, such guards are always the two daemon brothers Chin Lei Ngan and Shun Fung Yi .[7]
