Located at the end of Rua de Outubro, close to the small Hengqin Island in mainland China, this temple was built during the Qing Tongzhi period and has a history of over a century. It is the most popular temple in Coloane, dedicated to Tam Kong, and features a dragon boat carved from whale bone, a relic that is over a hundred years old. It is believed that touching the whale bone brings good luck, so worshippers often do so after making their offerings. Additionally, a large stone outside the temple inscribed with the character for “goose” is a distinctive landmark in the area.
