Hoi Sham Island

Hoi Sham Island (Chinese: 海心島; lit.

'island in the middle of the sea'), also called To Kwa Wan Island (土瓜灣島), was an island in Kowloon Bay off the coast of To Kwa Wan, Kowloon Peninsula in Hong Kong.

It was connected to the mainland as a consequence of land reclamation, and it is now part of Hoi Sham Park (海心公園).

The temple was demolished in 1964[2] and the statue of Lung Mo (龍母; 'Dragon Mother') was relocated to the nearby Tin Hau Temple, built in 1885 and located at the corner of Ha Heung Road (下鄉道) and Lok Shan Road (落山道).

In this temple, the statue of the Lung Mo is on the altar of the left bay (right side when viewed from the front).
