Tin Hau Temple, Joss House Bay, Sai Kung
The Tin Hau Temple located at the northern shore of Joss House Bay, commonly known as Tai Miu (literally, “great temple”), is one of the oldest and largest Tin Hau temples in Hong Kong. The inscriptions on the rock at the back of the temple suggests that the temple is linked to the Southern Song dynasty.

Notes from the AMO website:
This elegant house was built in the 4th year of Tongzhi (1865) of the Qing Dynasty as a residence by Man Chung-luen whose ancestors had settled in San Tin since the 15th century. The building is considered as one of the most beautifully-embellished traditional Chinese buildings in Hong Kong and is renowned for its fine architectural decorations. Restoration was completed in 1988 with donations from the Hong Kong Jockey Club.
1863 - Douglas Castle built by Douglas Lapraik, a watchmaker who expanded into shipping. He returned to England almost as soon as Douglas Castle was built, and died about 5 years later.
His nephew, John Steward Lapraik inherited the business and over the next 30 years made it phenomomally sucessful. His residence was listed as Douglas Castle. After he died, age 54, it was sold.
