The two-door temple was built in unknown years, but a copper bell casted in the 37th year of Emperor Qianlong’s reign (1772) shows that it is at least 200 years old.

Short comment: With stone steps in front of the entrance of the Tin Hau Temple, wheelchair users can only visit outside the entrance. It is suggested that a movable ramp be added for the convenience of those in need. According to Cheung Chau residents, funds are being raised to set up a pair of stone lions and barrier-free access on each side of the entrance to the Tin Hau Temple, so that the disabled will have closer access to the Temple.
