A Century of Faith and Architectural Aesthetics - Tai Hang Lotus Temple

Located in Lotus Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, the Lotus Palace in Tai Hang blends Chinese architectural design and local fishermen’s history and culture. Built in 1863, the temple is built on lotus stone, with the front hall standing high above the stone pillars and the back hall clinging to the boulders, symbolizing stability and protection. The belief in Guanyin has a long history. It is said that Guanyin once appeared here to bless the fishermen who went out to sea to return safely.

Every Mid-Autumn Festival, the fire dragon dance in Tai Hang begins here, where firelight and incense intertwine, linking community and faith.
