Sam Seng Temple is a small shrine in Coloane, Macau. It is dedicated to the Three Divinities deity, comprising the imperial deity Hung Seng, Kwan Tai and Tam Kung. There is a temple dedicated to Tam Kung further down the road, which is Avenida Cinco de Outubro.
The bay in front of Sam Seng Temple was originally called Ka Ho Bay, after the village of Ka Ho. However, it has since been renamed Sam Seng Beach. There has been a shrine dedicated to the deity Hung Seng here since the 19th century. When it was reconstructed in 1883, the deities Kwan Tai and Tam Kung were added as patrons of the shrine.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
