A-Ma Temple in Macau||A 500-year-old destination for seeking divination and blessings

||A 500-year-old destination for seeking divination and blessings. The A-Ma Temple in Macau was initially built during the Ming Dynasty, with some saying it was established in the first year of the Hongzhi era (1488), and others claiming it was in the thirty-third year of the Wanli era (1605). It has nearly five hundred years of history and is the oldest Taoist temple in Macau. It has also been listed as one of the World Heritage Sites. The temple is well-preserved, surrounded by lush greenery, and always bustling with worshippers. Although the number of people seeking divination and blessings is not very high, there is a steady stream of visitors. If you are interested in history, this is a place in Macau you definitely shouldn't miss. I happened to pass by yesterday, and of course, I went in to pay my respects, and on my way out, I even got interviewed.

A-Ma Temple

Mazu in Cantonese, Ma'ge in transliteration, Macao. Foreign sailors' first stop upon landing in Macau is the A-Ma Temple. So they called it Macao. Goodbye, Mazu [folded hands] The first time I saw the fragrance here, it was in a circular shape. Sailors are supposed to come back safely. After coming out of Mazu Temple, there is a small green western-style building on the left side of the small square. Here is the administrative building of the Maritime Museum. Working here should be very happy. The green walls mix with white blinds. Love this kind of cute and stylish house too much. So romantic! Take a rest on the chair after taking photos of the house. I'll cross the road and take the bus back to the old city area. In the gap of waiting for the bus, took a series of riverbank portraits. Sometimes there is no fixed check-in. Occasionally, the places we encounter are also very comfortable. Blow the wind of the Greater Bay Area. Slowly falling in love with Macau
