Tamão
Trade settlement in Portuguese Empire / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tamão (Chinese: 屯門) was a trade settlement set up by the Portuguese on an island in the Pearl River Delta, China. This was the first time Europeans reached China via the sea route around the Cape of Good Hope.[1] The settlement lasted from 1514 to 1521, when the Portuguese were expelled by the Ming dynasty navy.[2]
