Another view, first floor interior courtyard. Note the snake plant and frangipani. Florida fauna :)
Every ceremonial structure I saw in Macau and Hong Kong used ceramic representations of bamboo to build the roof. Bamboo can mean many different things, but longevity is a traditional meaning.
And the protecting lions!
If you can, note the round entrance in the background of this shot. I saw round entrances at a Buddhist temple in Hong Kong, this may have been the Buddhist structure. 
Looking back down on the first floor courtyard. Note the ceramic tiles crafted to look like bamboo on the roof.
Teensy little birds were everywhere. Sparrows?

Kimmy, what is the name of the "goddess of fishing?"
It was constructed in the year of 1488 of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) to commemorate Mazu, the sacred sea goddess who blesses the fishermen of Macau.
