Templo de Kun Iam Tong, Buddhist temple in Nossa Senhora de Fátima, Macau.
The temple features three main pavilions decorated with porcelain figures, containing statues dedicated to the Precious Buddhas, Buddha of Longevity, and Kun Iam.
The present temple structure dates from 1627, during the Ming Dynasty, replacing a previous 13th-century building dedicated to the Bodhisattva of Mercy.
The temple holds numerous calligraphy scrolls and Chinese paintings from notable artists, including works from the renowned painter Qu Dajun.
Visitors access the temple grounds through a large entrance gate leading to terraced gardens with commemorative arches and small shrines dedicated to deceased monks.
The first Sino-American Treaty was signed in 1844 at a stone table in the temple gardens, near four intertwined trees symbolizing marital fidelity.

Macau captivates with its contrasts. In a single day, you can go from a Portuguese quarter with cobblestone streets to a hidden temple behind a staircase, and then to a futuristic hotel lit up like a film set. The city combines baroque facades, grand casinos, and quiet gardens where a few tai chi practitioners are seen. Between Coloane and Cotai, each district offers a different vibe that attracts travelers looking for striking photos and unique urban scenes. This selection features the most photogenic sites in Macau, from colonial heritage to coastal views.
