Nu Wa Temple

TIME : 2016/2/17 11:56:15

This tiny temple in a faded yellow building, also built in 1888, was consecrated to the serpent-like Nu Wa – the Chinese equivalent of Gaia, the creator goddess. Unlike most other divinities worshipped in Macau, Nu Wa does not offer services associated with the sea. Instead, she gives divine assistance to marital and fertility matters. Her likeness sits among those of other deities in the cluttered and smoky temple.
