Tin Howe Temple at Kussei Bei

Tin Hau Temple on Kusvei Bei is a building of the XVIII century. The temple was built by the Tai family after the goddess Tin Hau appeared here.

In this area, the Tai family usually collected medicinal herbs. Once in the rocks by the sea, someone from the family found a statue of the goddess Tin Howe. They considered it a sign and built a house for the goddess on the site of the find. Over time, the house became popular, the villagers donated money to it, and gradually it turned into a real temple, properly organized.

Now it is a remarkable example of temple architecture of that period and has largely preserved its original appearance, although it has been updated more than once. In the center of the main hall sits the goddess Tin Hau. An interesting feature of the temple are the ceramic decorations of the roof.

The rulers of the temple are still the Tai family. In 1982 it was declared a historical monument.
