The Tianhou Temple is located in the Xunliao Bay Tourist Resort in Huizhou. It was built in the late Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 400 years. Mazu is a folk god highly admired by people in coastal areas. It is said that whenever someone is in danger in the sea, Mazu can show up to save people.

天后庙,又叫做妈祖庙,祭拜的是天后林默,她是百姓崇祀的海神,
5/5
天后庙,又叫做妈祖庙,祭拜的是天后林默,她是百姓崇祀的海神,这里的香火特别的旺盛,出海的渔民、客船都会来拜拜。作为东南亚地区较大的妈祖庙,它集北京故宫的风格与南京中山陵的楼阁气势于一体,很值得一游。南沙天后宫,南望虎门与伶仃洋,它主要由天后宫广场和宫殿建筑群两个部份组成。天后宫广场中间高耸着高达14.5米的天后石雕像,据说由365块细心雕琢的花岗石构成,象征天后一年365天的庇佑,也是游人合影留念的必去之处。宫殿建筑群在天后宫广场的后方,整个是清朝时期的建筑风格,并且依山而建。先可以看到正门牌坊,穿过牌坊到达山门,即是天后宫的正门,室内供奉的是“千里眼”和“顺风耳”两尊神像。继续拾级而上,山门的两侧有钟楼和鼓楼,钟鼓楼内的钟鼓都会按时敲击。在山门的上方为献殿,殿内供奉“蹈海天后”,四海龙王在两旁站立。再上方的正殿是整个天后宫的中心,有木雕神龛,供奉3.8米高、香梓木雕、贴金的天后像。寝殿则在正殿之内,在这个寝殿中特别安置了一台织布机,因为传说中天后娘娘曾在15岁时,于一次织布途中从海上救父脱险。另外,寝殿中还摆放床、梳妆台及镜子。整个建筑群高点是位于后方的南岭塔。塔高45米,楼阁式建筑,在南岭塔可远眺整个南沙天后宫,只是目前无法登塔,有点遗憾。
