Lonely Planet review

This colossal 20m statue of the goddess atop Alto de Coloane, was hewn from a form of white jade quarried near Beijing and was erected in 1998. Below it is enormous Tian Hou Temple (; - ), which, together with the statue, form the core of A-Ma Cultural Village, a religious complex containing a museum, retreat and medical centres, a vegetarian restaurant and handicraft shops.

It's rather commercial and you'll probably see more traders than prayers. Still, it's a good spot to get a birds-eye view of Hác Sá beach on a clear day. A free bus runs from the A-Ma ornamental entrance gate on Estrada de Seac Pai Van every half-hour from to . Otherwise you can reach both by following the Coloane Trail (Trilho de Coloane) from Seac Pai Van Park.
