*On the card is written The old Tin Hau Temple, but Pheobe says it's the Lotus Temple.*
Lin Fa Temple or Lin Fa Kung (lit. "Lotus Temple") is a temple located at the end of Lin Fa Kung Street, which is named after the temple, in Tai Hang district in the southeast area of Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Island. It was originally built 1863, during the Qing Dynasty, and was reconstructed in 1986 and 1999. The original use of the temple was a worship place for Kwan Yin (also known as Kwun Yam), the goddess of mercy.
Nowadays, it is a tourist attraction as well as a place for local people to celebrate traditional festivals including the Mid-autumn Festival, when a traditional "fire dragon dance" show will be held. The temple is listed as a Grade I historic building.
