Tin Hau Temple, Mazu temple in Taipa, Macau.

The main palace of Tin Hau Temple contains multiple halls with wooden beams, traditional altars, and statues dedicated to the sea goddess Mazu.

Constructed in 1785 as the first temple in Taipa, the structure underwent restoration in the mid-19th century following an invasion by sea pirates.

The temple displays artifacts from different periods, including the Qianlong, Dao Guang, Xian Feng, Tong Zhi, and Guang Wu reigns of Chinese dynasties.

Located on Rua do Governador Tamagnini Barbosa, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM to explore its historical collections.

The interior walls show dark staining from centuries of burning incense and joss sticks, affecting the natural light penetration into the building.
