Dapeng Tin Hau Temple

Dapeng Tin Hau Temple

Dapeng Tin Hau Temple is located inside the west gate of Dapeng Ancient City. Originally built during the Yongle era of the Ming Dynasty, it is a temple dedicated to the sea goddess Tin Hau. Covering an area of over 200 square meters, the temple has three courtyards and features 13 steps in front of its entrance. The corridor is lined with two tall granite pillars, exquisitely carved and nearly a foot in diameter. The red door plaque is inscribed with the gilded characters “Tin Hau Temple” in bold running script. On both sides of the gate is a couplet: "Worshipped by all nations, the deity calms the waves of Guangdong Sea; Honored through millennia, the rituals trace back to Putian." For over 500 years, the temple has enjoyed flourishing incense offerings. Every year on the 23rd day of the third lunar month, the birthday of Tin Hau, and once every five years, a grand “Jiao Festival” ceremony is held. It is said that famous Qing Dynasty generals such as Liu Qilong and Lai Enjue, along with officers of the Dapeng Garrison including colonels, defenders, and company commanders, often came here to worship.
