A Tin Hau Temple—a place of worship for the Goddess of the Sea—serves as the heart of Chinese New Year celebrations in our lovely village on the east coast of Lamma Island. Cozily nestled between Rainbow Bay (or Sok Kwu Wan) and Mount Stenhouse, this small but gorgeous temple is a stone’s throw away from the water, and has the hills in the backdrop.

Here are a few photos I took on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

I’m also sharing a video that’s part of my personal project this year: I am learning how to film with a tiny handheld camera and do a quick mobile edit. There’s a lot of room for improvement, but I’m taking it one video at a time. We never stop learning!

Thanks for dropping by!
