After she passed away, the Mazu Temple was built on Meizhou Island in 987 to offer sacrifices to and in memory of Mazu. It was the earliest Mazu Temple in the world, and enjoyed the honorific title of “Ancestral Temple”. The Ancestral Temple keeps the Mazu's gold body of Song Dynasty, the stone statue of Mazu, stone-carved royal instruction and a seal presented by an emperor of Qing Dynasty, which reveal the profound historical origin of Mazu culture.

A five-tiered architectural complex copied from that of Song Dynasty was built to the south of Ancestral Temple during 1998-2002, and it is the New Hall of Ancestral Temple. Queen of Heaven Square covering one hectare in front of the New Hall is where large-scale rites of Ancestral Temple and other grand activities are held.

In the newly-built Mazu Culture Garden, there are scenic spots such as a colossal stone statue of Mazu, group sculpture of Mazu story, Mazu Tablet Forest, Mazu Culture Museum, cliff sculptures etc. The unique scenery of the Holy Land and artificial scenic beauty bring out the best in each other.
