A-Ma (Mazu) Temple

Before the city of Macau was founded, there was A-Ma Temple. The Gate Pavilion, Memorial Arch, Prayer Hall, Hall of Benevolence, Hall of Guanyin, and Zhengjiao Chanlin are all part of it. This shrine, which dates from the 15th century, is dedicated to the mariners' goddess. A poor girl named A-Ma wished to go to Canton but was turned down by affluent trash owners, according to tradition. A humble fisherman gave her a ride on his boat. Except for the little boat carrying the sad girl, everything at sea was destroyed by a massive storm. When they landed in Macau, the girl was nowhere to be found, but she reappeared as a deity.
