Nantian Shengniang Temple

Nantian Shengniang Temple is a Mazu temple, adhering to the consistent style of Hainan Mazu temples, with red brick exterior walls and golden eaves that rise high.

Built by the Wanquan River, it is presumably to bless the fishermen going out to sea.

Although the temple is not very large, the continuous incense within indicates that the people of Hainan still hold a reverence for women and matriarchy, especially for the Hainan sea goddess Mazu.
