A-Ma Temple

The most famous and picturesque temple in Macau ---and which helped give the city its name--- A-Ma consists of prayer pavilions on four levels, set into a hill that rises from the waterfront of the Inner Harbour. Linked by winding paths and moongates, the pavilions are dedicated to the Taoist Goddess of A-Ma (also called Tin Hau) and the Buddhist Goddess of mercy or Kun lam. At the entrance to the temple is a boulder on which is painted a Chinese junk, and just opposite is the Maritime Museum, which displays a diorama of the legend of A-Ma and picture of the festival held in her honour.

The temple has been a very popular subject for artists over the centuries. They include George Chinnery and Auguste Borget.

In the late 19th century a leading Chinese citizen, Lou Kau, built this garden in the classic Suzhou style, with miniaturized landscape of bamboo forests, pond-size lakes, moulded concrete mountains, viewing pavilions and moongates to frame the scence. He also constructed a Victorian-style house, where he entertained friends such as Dr Sun Yat-sen.

Today it is immensely popular, with traditional martial arts and modern ballroom dance enthusiasts well as families who come to relax
