Tin Hau is the goddess of the sea who is worshipped by many people in Chinese communities around the world. The deity, also known as Mazu or the “Queen of Heaven”, has many devotees in Hong Kong, where there are more than 100 Tin Hau temples. One unique Tin Hau temple floats on a boat in the typhoon shelter at Causeway Bay. Caretaker Leung Tai-ho said the unique worship space has been around since a statue of Tin Hau was moved there from Sanjiao Mountain, an island in the Pearl River between Hong Kong and Macau, in the 1940s during Japanese Imperial Army occupation.

Love old Hong Kong people, places and traditions
Maybe replace the hull with something more durable than wood and dock the boat in a semi-permanent location. Easier access may mean more visitors/worshippers and tourists hence more donations to keep in open. The temple would lose its charm if moved onto land.
It should be a Tourist Attraction
You think HK wiol still have tourist?
You should read the law more everyone is a criminal now if u critisize China
Problem is that if too many people come then the boat would suffer a ton of damages
@@abarrolugos8818 if you have hope then things will be better your just looking at the bad things and not having any hope
Wouldn't it make the ship sink sooner?
@@HaotoAnimeOnPiano people could just like see it on the dock or have 1-2 people go inside at a time
work, familly, traditions, true values of china
Sigh... Even a temple is affected
One of this boat house belongs to Wei Shen
'lets take bikini bottom and push it somewhere else'
Time to renovate and invest!
Dislikes are China, Hong Kong and Taiwan haters.
Who cares, once it’s not on a boat.
It'll disappear during HK's cultural revolution.
I hope not , but it does seem likely
@@anonx2747 CCP will make sure it does, just like they ban any religion from mainland
Pyro Max in what era are you living in again?🤔
@@nickching8178 an era where we moved from a free HK where people were allowed to express their opinion and criticise their government, to an era where HK gets politically and economically destabilised by an invasive power that is known for no tolerance for a freedom of religion. You?
Pyro Max An era where “freedom of speech and expression” has brought societies to destabilize themselves to believe in such fundamentals and not see what’s really on the legal aspects of it. An era where prejudices reign for political stigmatization that blind the young, and choose to believe in “freedom” with no consequences. Where adults like to act like kids and have the right to go out on the streets and disrespect authority with no remorse or face backlash.
A metaphor for the downfall of HK. Isn't it ironic how the places where true chinese culture was preserved were the places where foreigners ruled over the chinese? o.O
adlerzwei it’s because Mao Zadonk did the cultural revolution and destroyed tradition and almost all of china’s culture
