If you want to take a flight back to Taiwan on the last day of your trip to the Macau Peninsula, A-Ma Temple is very suitable for arranging the last stop as the end of the trip. There is also a Maritime Museum next to it, which is very interesting. After the trip, you can walk directly to the nearby A-Ma Temple. It's really convenient to go back to the airport from Ge LRT station, so you don't have to take the crowded bus anymore. .

Part of our tour.
It was an interesting temple and a place to visit in December as it was quite hot. No real crowds which might be there in summer. Once again very few western tourist's and the driver was happy for us to take out time.
Took about an hour with a number of steps some just small rock ledges to navigate. Not a place for wheelchair access folks.
Its a quaint temple like many similar in many parts of China and Asia. But worth a look

Unlike the churches in macau which can be touristy, this temple is really meant for worshippers, and so don't expect to come here for some picturesque moments, because you wont really get any.
It is a regular temple but with tons of devotees.
I am not sure if I would say it is a must-see temple... simply because it isn't.

Although this place is a bit touristy it is worth a while for a visit. The square is quite busy and you can explore the Taoist temples for a pray, a visit. The smell of incense is so unique to such places. Try to find the very special A-MA little house, such a serene place. If possible be there with sunset, the golden sunlight will sparkle into the sacred house. Not speaking proper English, there will be some priests or people to tell some myths and legends about A-MA (remember the Portuguese granted the name of A-MA GAU (Temple of A-MA) to this city, which became MACAU).

We found this temple very interesting but were a bit put off by the pushy crowd and the huge amount of incense being burnt....it was quite overwhelming and made the experience a bit disappointing

I loved this place. The serenity and the rich history of it. Beautiful prayer rooms and incense in the air, and I really liked the path to praying here, one had to go up and everywhere around the temple to offer incense sticks and devotion and I can say that I've been to a lot of temples before but I really like the distinct personality of this one. Its no where near as glitzy as the Thai Temples or as Grand as those in china, but in its small quaint space, the landscape seems so natural and the aura so nice that i really appreciated it. worth the visit. for non Buddhists, it is a good experience to offer up incense sticks and the whole process of Buddhist prayer as well as make the water dance in the singing bowl for good luck and fortune.

Nice temple but smokey. I like the smell of incense but this was a bit much. Since it is built into a hillside the smoke has no place to go since the temple faces the sea. The temple climbs a rocky hill with various grottoes.

THe temple is high up on a hill side so has great view. It is only a simple old temple with the least of religious significance. Too crowded with tourists from the tour buses.If you are not a keen buddhist, can give it a miss.

Such a beautiful temple that has so many beautiful levels built during the Ming Dynasty. Definitely worth visiting given its how Macau earned its name

二度目の訪問のときに凄い爆竹に遭遇しました。お参りしているときだったので音だけが聞こえましてテロでもあったのかと驚きました。外に出て爆竹とわかりましたが…線香の値段はわかったのですが爆竹は幾らぐらいするのでしょうか？あの迫力なら家族全員のの邪気も払ってもらえそうなので次回行く時に頼みたいとおもいます。ご存知の方よろしくお願いします。

Can someone please let me know what is that container thing kept in it's courtyard?
(The container when rubbed with hands tells ours about our luck or something)
Written June 28, 2017
That right , it's a medium size flat base pan which contains water when the visitor rubs its handles with wet hands then if luck is on your side then the water in the pan resonates/ vibrates with some droplets start bouncing , it would happen with very few people.
