A-Ma Temple is said to be the place in Macau where the Portuguese first landed. The Temple consists of prayer halls, pavilions and courtyards built into the boulder strewn hill connected by winding paths through moon gates and tiny gardens. At the entrance is a large rock on which a traditional sailing junk was etched over 400 years ago. On other boulders you can see red carved characters invoking the blessings of the gods. Chinese say that touching the top of the moon gate up the hill will bring good luck in love.
