Good to know: This is not one building but a compound of five, put up between 1876 and 1920: the Tin Hau Temple itself, the Kung Sor, the Fook Tak Tsz and two Shu Yuen. The Antiquities and Monuments Office calls it the largest surviving Tin Hau temple compound in Kowloon, and it was declared a monument in 2020.
