The Tin Hau Festival in Hong Kong is one of the most colorful celebrations taking place during the year at Tin Hau temples throughout the territory. The festival celebrates the birth of the goddess of the sea with a clamor of dance, cymbals and drums in what is possibly one of the loudest of all of Hong Kong’s festivals. Tin Hau is the Goddess of the Sea, given that in the past Hong Kong's livelihood was tied to the ocean, Tin Hau is sort of the "patron saint" of the city.
