A-Ma Temple is the one of the oldest and most famous tourist attractions in Macau. It was erected in 1488 in honour of the goddess A-Ma who was thought to have saved a group of sailors when they hit dangerous waters off the coast.
Back in the day, people would come here to pray for a safe voyage when setting out to sea.
Today you would find people burning candles and incense and writing wishes on colourful charms; various prayers asking for good luck and wealth.
We came here just before we had to catch the ferry back to Hong Kong- I guess you could say we were hoping for a safe journey back!
