Sam Seng Temple, Chinese temple in Coloane, Macau.

Sam Seng Temple, also called Kam Fa Temple, stands on Rua dos Navegantes in Coloane and was already built by 1865. The small late-Qing shrine houses three main deities: Kam Fa, Guanyin and Huaguang. Its door carries the couplet '仙靈瑞氣繞鹽灣，幸福愉快賜路環', and inside hangs an iron cloud-shaped gong (yunban) cast in 1865 by Longsheng Furnace, used to strike the hours in place of a bell.

The temple already stood by 1865, the fourth year of the Tongzhi reign, as recorded in the inscription on its iron cloud-shaped gong: "offered by disciple Li Lianyou, erected on an auspicious day of the twelfth month of Tongzhi 4, cast by Longsheng Furnace." In 1988 the Coloane Four Temples Charity Association raised funds for its restoration, and it has been repainted every year since.

The temple is also called Kam Fa Temple after Kam Fa, a goddess from Guangzhou honoured for safe childbirth; it is the only temple on the islands dedicated to her, and its single image contrasts with the twelve in Macau's Lin Kai and Pao Kong temples. The entrance couplet reads 'Fairy spirits' auspicious air surrounds Salty Bay, happiness and joy bestowed on Coloane'.

The temple stands on Rua dos Navegantes (船人街) in Coloane, a short walk from the village centre. Look for the couplet flanking the entrance and, inside, the iron cloud-shaped board (yunban) that once served as a time signal in place of a bell. The temple is repainted every year by the Coloane Four Temples Charity Association, so surfaces may be fresh.

The temple keeps a cast-iron cloud-shaped gong, a yunban, whose inscription records that it was set up in the twelfth lunar month of 1865, made by the Longsheng foundry, donated by the disciple Li Lianyou. With no iron or bronze bell, it was struck to mark the hours. Only two other Macau temples, the Kuan Tai Temple in Taipa and Kun Iam Rock, have one.
