Smaller Coloane Temples

Sam Seng Temple in Coloane

The Temple of Sam Seng (Three Divinities) is also called Temple of Kam Fa (Golden Flower), built in the 4th year of Tongzhi Reign (in 1865). The Temple is dedicated to three divinities: Empress of Kam Fa, Kun lam and Ancestral Master of Va Kuong.

It is written in the couplet on the door of the Temple of Golden Flowers: “Fairy spirit and auspicious air fill the salt bay; felicity and jubilation are bestowed to Coloane.” The “salt bay” is the old name of Coloane, which also called Yanzaowan.

In 1988, the charity committee of four temples of Coloane raised funds and rebuilt the temple.
