One of many shrines in the city dedicated to the Empress of Heaven and Goddess of the Sea, Tin Hau Temple in Causeway Bay was built in the 18th century by the Tai clan, who still manage the temple to this day. According to legend, some of the tribesmen picked up a statue of a god on the shore and set up a temple to worship it. As more and more fishermen came to shangxiang, they raised funds to build a formal Tin Hau Temple.  Aside from its impressive exterior design, the temple stands out for the number of historical relics housed within, including a bell that was cast in 1747.
