The Tin Hau Temple in Causeway Bay is one of the Tin Hau temples in Hong Kong. The original temple dates back to 1747 and was built by members of the Tai family who first settled in Kowloon. The temple is famous for the fine Shek Wan figurines on its roof and eaves, and for the quality of its stone carvings around the entrance. Inside the temple, the main altar and several side altars are dedicated to Tin Hau, Goddess of the Sea and patron saint of seafarers.

I understand it is an importantshrine in the Buddhist sense, but a bit underwhelming for tourists. There are much better looking temples in HK.
The exact year of the temple building in Causeway Bay is difficult to prove. The oldest historical relic can be determined now is an ancient clock. The inscription on the clock shows the year of Qianlong 12, that is, 1747. The inscription of the 'tengo kosho' on the front gate and the gate connecting on both sides were established in 1868, and other artifacts such as plaques, antithesis, incense furnaces and stone cases were preserved in the Qing Dynasty.
