Since Macau now only has 1 stamp, it is obviously not enough. Macau is a place where China and the West meet. Chinese temples and Western churches converge here. At the same time, Macau also has more than 20 historical buildings. Although the St. Paul's is very representative, it is obviously not representative of all Macau.
Templo de A-Má is the oldest temple in Macau that can be verified by physical objects, and it is also the oldest preserved building among the cultural relics in Macau. Templo de A-Má was first built by Fujian merchants and was called "A-Má". It is said that in 1553, the Portuguese moored the boat at the ancient pier in front of the temple and asked the local Fujian people what this place was. I thought it was the name of the temple, and said it was A Ma Pavilion. Since then, the Portuguese have used the homophonic "Macau" of the Hokkien dialect "A Ma'" to refer to Macau.
Before radar was popularized, the Guia Lighthouse was a landmark entering the Pearl River. Today, the lighthouse has been changed to a modern lighting system and still serves sailors. Next to the lighthouse is a 17th-century Portuguese monastery that features the Church of Our Lady of the Snows. The coordinate value of the location of the lighthouse is the geographic location of Macau on the world map.
