Mazu Cultural Village is located in Dieshitang Mountain on Coloane Island, facing the sea with its back to the mountains. The huge white marble Mazu statue is very eye-catching. The village features pathways, a mountain gate, an altar, a main hall, a dressing pavilion, a bell tower, and a drum tower. On the stone steps leading to the Tianhou Palace, there are bluestone reliefs depicting auspicious animals such as qilin, lions, cranes, dragons, and tigers, with exquisite craftsmanship.


The front porch of the main hall is adorned with eight round, transparently carved bluestone dragon pillars, painted with numerous patterns symbolizing happiness and good fortune. The village is open all year round from 00:00 to 23:59.


An essential tip for visitors is that every November, the Mazu Culture Tourism Festival is held, providing a great opportunity to experience local beliefs and traditions.
