A-Ma Temple

Place of worship · Zhuhai

"Well before Macau was settled as a Portuguese colony in 1557, the A-Ma Temple was already a thriving sanctuary for local villagers (for whom fishing was the main industry). The hillside Buddhist temple was constructed in 1488 to honor the sea goddess Mazu, who is said to have protected seafarers on maritime journeys. Today, the colorful site welcomes a steady stream of tourists and worshippers who ascend the steep stairs to admire the classic Chinese architecture and sea views. After you’ve explored the temple, stick around Barra Square to experience the Maritime Museum, Mandarin's House (a traditional Chinese courtyard-style complex), and famous Portuguese-style restaurants, such as A Lorcha and Café Litoral." - Kate Springer
