Being the largest Tin Hau Temple in Hong Kong, the imposing Tin Hau Temple (Joss House Temple) (also known as "the Big Temple" which means the Grand Temple) in Sai Kung was established over 700 years ago. The temple is the oldest one among all existing Tin Hau Temples in the coastal areas of Guangdong. The magnificent temple is partitioned into 3 parts with one entrance only. The main hall is dedicated to "Tin Hau", Goddess of the Sea, while in the side hall on the right there are a bronze bell and Tin Hau's bed. During the Tin Hau Festival which falls on the 23rd day of the 3rd month of the lunar calendar, thousands of worshippers visit the temple to pay tribute to Tin Hau.
