Temple by the Sea 鯉魚門天后宮

Temple by the Sea 鯉魚門天后廟


Hong Kong has always been a maritime city and temples built for the goddess of the sea are scattered around the city.  However, many of these temples originally built at the waterfront are now far away from the shorelines due to reclamation works that have been carried for a century.  This temple is a rare one as it still stands at the waterfront, guarding the passing ships at the eastern entrance to the Victoria Harbour.


經歷百年填海,香港大多數天后廟現都遠離海邊。鯉魚門天后宮可貴在她仍處海邊,默默守望進出維港的船隻。

  3. Yes, perhaps because of the sunset views it gives, it's also a popular spot for camera geeks! Last time I went there by myself I got chased by some dogs though!
