Tin Hau Birthday Celebration
Tin Hau, Goddess of the Sea and patron saint of fishermen, is the most worshipped deity in Hong Kong, thanks to the city's historic roots as an area of fishing villages. Tin Hau's birthday, which falls on the 23rd day of the third lunar month , attracts thousands of worshippers and revellers to the many Tin Hau temples still in use around the city. Check out the festivities at Shap Pat Heung in Yuen Long and watch a three-hour parade with dancers and marching bands and villagers vying to win the Fa Pau Raffle for good luck and fortune.
Visitors may also join in the celebration at Joss House Bay in Sai Kung District as thousands descend on the city’s largest and oldest Tin Hau Temple, with roots dating back to the Song Dynasty.
