Sam Kai Vui Kun, Chinese temple near St. Dominic's Market Complex, Macau.
Sam Kai Vui Kun features a gray brick facade, a traditional Chinese roof with green glazed tiles, and three aligned halls on a north-south axis.
Built in 1750 as a gathering space for Chinese merchants, the temple received restoration work in 1792 and became part of UNESCO World Heritage in 2005.
The temple combines functions as a religious site dedicated to Guan Yu and a former administrative center where Chinese authorities announced official edicts.
Located at the intersection of Rua dos Mercadores, Rua dos Ervanários, and Rua das Estalagens, the temple welcomes visitors from 9:00 to 18:00 daily.
The main hall reaches 10 meters in height and displays stone sculptures of dragons playing with pearls on its decorative walls.
