Originally known as Mazu Pavilion, commonly known as Tianhou Temple, it is located in the southeast of Macao, with pillow mountains and sea, built against cliffs, surrounded by towering ancient trees and beautiful scenery. The main buildings are the Great Hall, Hong Ren Hall and Guanyin Pavilion. The temple is mainly dedicated to Mazu, a Taoist fairy, also known as Tianhou Niangniang and Tianfei Niangniang. It is said that she can predict good and bad luck and often help businessmen and fishermen to save the day and solve problems at sea.

Introduction of one-day tour routes in Macau:
After the Macau Pass, there are many casino shuttle buses in the parking lot on the left (many casinos in Macau provide free shuttle buses, which are fast and comfortable).
Take the shuttle bus from the Portuguese Casino (it's only 1 minutes' journey). When you get off the bus, you can turn right and go straight. You will see a big tree with a fork in the road. On the left is the Bank of China Building, and on the right is the new Portuguese capital. Go straight on the middle road (Yin Taizi Avenue) and you will arrive at the new road in 1 minutes. There is an old shop "Yishun Milk" on the road, and the most famous one is red bean double skin milk (I forgot to eat it).
The new road, also called "fountain" and "front of the Chamber", is the famous pedestrian street with handwritten letters. There are also the Home Affairs Department, Rose Church and many shops on the street. Along the street, there are many bakers and dried meat shops. Even if you don't buy them, you can try them and eat them for free. At the end is Macau's landmark "Grand Sanbus". There are museums and Fort Hill next to the Grand Sanbus. You can take the elevator to the top of the mountain and look down at Macau, all of which are free.
