"Ship Temple", Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong 香海慈航

"Ship Temple", Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong

The temple was built in 1960 and because the site is next to a stream, the temple was designed to look like a ship.  The temple is a Buddhist temple and it is dedicated to the Goddess of Mercy, however, most locals just call it the "ship temple".

香海慈航建於1960年,該處前身名為「觀音岩」。據說由老圍村村民仿照南中國海的漁船造型自行設計興建,部份建材更是三疊潭的石塊

「香海慈航」寺內主要供奉觀世音菩薩。在佛教的經典中,觀世音菩薩為普渡眾生,倒駕慈航。

此外,香海慈航的西面設有一道「雲連橋」跨過三疊潭連接對岸。東面則有一座小小的寺廟「潮音淨院」,正門位置面對山下上葵涌一帶。寺外地上有一葫蘆形水池,旁邊的土地廟上寫著「公公十分公道 婆婆一片婆心」。
