ABSTRACT
Several rocks with small shrines in front of them indicate the primitive religion of the fishing population which must for centuries have based its operations on the two bays divided by Stanley peninsula. The temple of the Queen of Heaven, however, evidently owes its origin to the prosperity of the Chinese village which caters for the wants, not only of the Boat People, but the cultivators who have exploited every available square inch of arable land. The square building stands in a gently sloping valley, between two streams which cut their way through the sand at the northern end of the bay. A concrete path, passing an old rock shrine just beyond the hotel, gives access to the building and serves the valley for the marketing of its vegetable produce.
