MCM College A-Ma Cultural Hiking Day
Chinese goddess A-Ma or Mazu was first worshipped in the southeastern province of Fujian and was spread to Macau as the protector of seafarers and fishermen, A-Ma culture has long set root in the culture of Macau. Aside from the famous A-Ma temple located in the Macau peninsula, the tallest statue of the goddess A-Ma is built on the mountaintop of Macau’s Coloane Island.
MCM College took a group of students to visit the 7,000 square meter A-Ma Cultural Village. The group took the hiking route starting from Hac Sa Beach and hike up to pay homage to the goddess. Once they arrived, they are in awe of the grand complex. The pavilion-style front gate, marble altar, the Bell Tower and Drum Tower, and the Tin Hau Palace and statue. After the hour hike and finally arrive at the A-Ma Cultural Village, the group enjoyed their fruit of hard work and have no other thoughts but the admiration of Macau and A-Ma culture. |
