Lin Zexu Memorial Museum is a museum within the compound of Lin Fung Temple in Macau. It was built in 1997 to commemorate Lin Zexu, a Chinese patriot from the 19th century.

Imperial Commissioner Lin Zexu is one of the Chinese officials, or mandarin, who visited Macau, staying at Lin Fung Temple whenever he came. This was also where he received Portuguese and Macau officials. He was instrumental in persuading the Portuguese to ban the sale of opium, and to observe a policy of neutrality in Sino-UK relations.

The Lin Zexu Memorial Museum was set up by the Lin Fung Temple Charitable Council. In 1989, the first of several statues of Lin Zexu in Macau and Hong Kong was erected.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
