Tin Hau Temple in Shajing, Bao'an District.

Tin Hau, or Mazu, is a Chinese sea goddess. Revered after her death as a tutelary deity of seafarers, including fishermen and sailors, her veneration spread throughout China’s coastal regions and overseas Chinese communities throughout Southeast Asia. She was thought to roam the seas, protecting her believers through miraculous interventions. She is now generally regarded by her believers as a powerful and benevolent Queen of Heaven.
