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.
