Pou Tai Un Buddhist Monastery
Macau’s largest temple is part of a functioning monastery with several dozen monks. The classically designed structure has an ornate, three-story central pavilion that houses a nearly 18-foot (5.4-meter) bronze statue of the Buddha—the tallest in Macau. Throughout, you’ll find beautiful wall murals, ornamented ceilings, red wood columns, and peaceful fishponds and banyan trees, as well as resident monks who tend vegetable plots that supply the popular on-site vegetarian restaurant.
