The Tianhou Temple in Yaumatei is the largest Tianhou Temple in Kowloon, Hong Kong. It is a second-class historical building in Hong Kong. The temple was first built in 1865 (four years of Tongzhi reign in Qing Dynasty). It was not at Banyan Tree Head at first, but near Guanchung Street Market. It moved to Banyan Tree Head in 1876 (Guangxu 2). The Tianhou Temple in Yaumadi is located on the side of Zhongfang Street near Yaumadi Temple Street. The Temple Street goes south to the end of Tianhou Temple. The Tianhou Temple in Yaumadi Temple and Temple Park are less than 5 minutes south from Exit C of Yaumadi Station by subway. If you take too many bus routes through Tianhou Temple, don't give a specific description, just remember the stop sign "Kowloon Central Post Office Station" and get off. The opening time of Tianhou Temple is from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. every day. It is suggested that 30 minutes be enough for us to have a slow tour from the small park outside Tianhou Temple to the inside of Tianhou Temple. According to records, Tianhou Temple in Yaumadi is the largest temple in Kowloon District. The temple is located in the coastal area of Yaumatei in the past. After the large reclamation project, it has become today's temple street. At present, the residents here no longer live by fishing, but they still worship the Queen of Heaven. It is said that the queen of heaven, named Lin Mingmo, has been able to predict the weather since childhood. She saved countless people in the shipwreck. Coastal villagers and fishermen all regard her as the guardian God of the sea and build temples to worship. Nearby Hotels with good cost performance, such as Seascape, Black Tea House, Prince and so on can be recommended. As for food, the vicinity of Miao Street belongs to the lower class of Hong Kong society, but belongs to the downtown area of Hong Kong. Restaurants near Miao Street are gourmet food, and all kinds of tea restaurants can not be counted. The most famous one is the Metropolitan Restaurant, where Hong Kong film gangster gathering restaurants have been filmed for decades; the four-season cooked-up meals beside the Black Tea Hotel on Ramada Street are super delicious, and the Qing Dynasty is comparable to nine beef briskets. Tang Bingwang, Niuzai in Temple Street of Nethongdian, etc. If you have leisure time, you can also go to Temple Street for a stroll in the evening. The Temple of Heavenly Queens in Yaumatei has heard of the annual "Guanyin Kaiku" Bao Festival, attracting a large number of good faith to visit. When we went there, the incense should be said not to be particularly vigorous or very cold. There is an open space in front of Tianhou Palace Gate and there are big trees. Many people will sit here, chat and take a walk. Temple Street is close to the fence roots of Tianhou Temple in Rongshutou. There are twenty or thirty fortune-telling stalls. There are old and talented people, scientific people with suits and shoes, computer distribution, and "Gypsy Girls" who are dedicated to serving romantic girls. We also went in and worshipped. Although we know that fate is in our hands, worship of God and Buddha can also give some comfort to our soul.

    The protector of the fishermen and boatmen. Hong Kong is the area where the god of the goddess was introduced earlier. In Taiwan and Fujian, people call the goddess "mazu". There are more than 100 existing temples in Hong Kong, reflecting the prosperity of ancient Hong Kong's shipping and fishing industry. The Temple of the Temple of the Hou of Yau Ma Tei is a first-class historical building, which was once the coastal area of Yau Ma Tei, and became Temple Street after the large reclamation.

    The first time I came to the Temple of the Tianhou in Yau Ma Tei, I smelled the smell of the temple as soon as I entered the door. The incense of good faith and many sacrifices were placed in front of the statue of the temple. Very traditional Temple of the Tianhou. After buying a bunch of incense, I also followed my friends to install incense. Bye to the temple, pray for blessings, wish for the health of the family. The location is not close to the subway station. It takes 5-10 minutes to walk, but the temple street is nearby. You can visit it by the way. With historical style, it is an ancient temple, may not be incense with other temples, but the location is near Temple Street, you can go nearby later, very convenient, but also have many specialty shops. Especially during the New Year's Eve, there are many locals to return to God and transfer, you can also buy windmills as a souvenir, in addition, here is convenient transportation, so many tourists to visit, it is worth recommending.
