– The Hau Kok Tin Hau Temple and The Fa Pau Exhibition Hall. The temple stands by the Tuen Mun River Channel. In the ancient times, being a center of waterway transport, Tuen Mun attracted fishermen’s communities. They wished to enjoy the protection and blessings of the heavenly goddess Tin Hau (known also as Mazu – the Goddess of the Sea) and built a temple at Hau Kok in Tuen Mun Kau Hui (Tuen Mun Old Market) in 1637 to worship her and pray for safety. The fishermens ask for protection from their boats, by passing a few hundred meters from a Tin Hau temple, and performing three figures of eight. In the Fa Pau Exhibition Hall, you will have the opportunity to see the Fa Pau ritual tower made up of one to eight tiers. Fa Pau are beautiful towers adorned with paper floral tributes and are unique during the Tin Hau Festival to honor the Goddess of the Sea.
