According to the query of Grassroots University Life Network, it was learned that the place where the Portuguese landed in Macau was on the coast in front of the mage temple. After landing, the Portuguese asked the local people, "What is this place?" Due to the language barrier, the local people mistakenly thought that the Portuguese asked what the name of Marco Temple was, so they answered "Marco", which sounded like "Macao" to the Portuguese in Cantonese, so the Portuguese name of Macao was "Macao" and the English name was "Macao" from the Portuguese pronunciation. Because of this historical origin, it is called Portugal.
