This temple was built by Tai Hakka Chinese family in the early 18-hundreds. They came from Guangdong, China and first settled in a village in Kowloon, which is now buried underneath Kai Tak airport.
The family would go down to Causeway Bay to gather grass, when, one day, one of the family members found a statue of Tin Hau (the Chinese goddess of the sea and saint of Chinese sailors) and started to make a shelter over it. Over time, people came to visit the statue and a proper temple building was constructed. This Temple is one of many dedicated to Tin Hau in Hong Kong and is now a listed building. Although its been a long time since the temple was built, it is still under management by the same Tai family.
