Tin Hau, Hong Kong
Area of Wan Chai District, Hong Kong
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tin Hau (Chinese: 天后; Jyutping: tin1 hau6) is an area in Wan Chai District, on the north side of Hong Kong Island, in Hong Kong.
Tin Hau is not a formalised district. The name arose from Tin Hau station, so named due to its proximity to the Causeway Bay Tin Hau Temple; and as the use of the name Causeway Bay shifts eastwards due to Causeway Bay Tram Terminus and later Causeway Bay station.
The term "Tin Hau" is also used to describe the location of places like Queen's College (beside Tin Hau MTR station) and the Central Library and the Causeway Bay Sports Ground, which is located in Wan Chai. Government offices and facilities such as Causeway Bay Market are located there.
