A-Ma Temple

This guide to A-Ma Temple in Macau opens with a five-century-old legend: a young woman turned away by wealthy merchants finds passage with a poor fisherman, then survives a storm that sinks every ship around them. It follows the temple built on this exact spot in fourteen eighty-eight, during the Ming dynasty, and the arrival of Portuguese traders decades later who asked the locals a simple question about the place's name. Look for the carved boulder near the entrance before you head inside.
