The Na Tcha Temple Association and Macau Si San Na Tcha Temple Association are holding a string of activities aimed at promoting Macau’s Na Tcha beliefs and customs.
The city’s Na Tcha beliefs and customs were inscribed on the National Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2014.
Addressing a press conference held by the Si San Na Tcha Temple Association next to the temple in the city centre, Fong Kin Fu, a key member of the group, said the government and locals should work together to preserve the city’s intangible cultural heritage. Therefore, he said, his association will continue to promote locals’ Na Tcha beliefs and customs.
