Historic Sam Kai Vui Kun Temple
Heritage Macau Tourism
Rua Sul do Mercado de São Domingos
The temple was originally a guild house of the Sam Kai (Three Streets) Association, covering Rua dos Mercadores, Rua dos Ervanários and Rua das Estalagens.
Shops near the temple and along Rua dos Mercadores.
Established between 1723 and 1795, it is the earliest local guild in Macao. Its historical importance derives from the fact that it was here that the Qing government made its announcements.
A statue of Kuan Tai (God of War and Riches) was placed inside the guild upon its establishment and a chamber was later designed to worship Kuan Tai.
Since the guild’s function has gradually disappeared, it is now used as Kuan Tai Temple.
The temple can be accessed from this side street.
On the
corner is the famous restaurant Long Kei.
Charming street furniture along the streets.
