My parents went to this place about 10-15 years ago and they wanted to go so I took them for spiritual reason. Mission accomplished.

This is one of the famous Chinese Temple in Macao. Since you are there, you can walk to St. Lawrence for about 10 minutes.

I always come to pay respect at A-ma temple every time I visit Macau. It's a belief that you will always have a safe journey wherever you are traveling to. I personally have a high respect for the temple. However, be warned that it's difficult to get a taxi back into town. What you should do is when you walk... More

This temple is quite busy with many tourists but is very well maintained and worth the visit. Wish we could have made it to the top but we got distracted by this bakery just a few steps away from the entrance and had the best egg tarts at a fraction of the cost compared to the ones in our hotel.

There's the old temple which is hectic and rather commercialised but very interesting - it is a must see and is classical in every way. We also went to the new A-Ma temple - spectacular views, superb re-creation of an ancient building and far less busy.

The A-Ma temple is a nice, peaceful and quiet place of worship. There tend to be a lot of tourists thronging this temple which is at a stone throws distance from the Macau Tower. It is beautiful and well maintained. One will typically find a lot of worshipers at the temple performing rites even during busy work days.

Built on a hill, facing the sea, a perfect location for a temple. We loved the atmosphere with the stairs, incense, offerings, etc but not the crowd, people were just pushing through, disturbing people who were praying.

It is still very much a practicing temple, used by the locals. It was not big. We liked the circular incenses..
