1513年初,阿爾布克爾克派遣歐維士的航行,发现了华南珠江三角洲的伶仃岛(Lintin Island ),不久后阿爾布克爾克派遣拉斐尔·佩雷斯特雷洛到华南,寻求与明朝建立贸易关系。在1513年和1515–1516年,拉斐爾·佩雷斯特雷洛两度从葡属马六甲航行到广州,与中国商人进行贸易。这些冒险,连同皮莱资(Tomé Pires)和费尔南·安德拉德的冒险,是欧洲与中国第一次直接的外交和商业联系。不过,1521年4月19日,正德帝驾崩,朝廷里的保守派寻求限制宦官的影响,拒绝了新来的葡萄牙使节,与葡萄牙人在屯门附近进行海战,被中国扣留的皮莱资被迫写信到马六甲说,除非葡萄牙人放弃对马六甲的控制,交还给被废黜的国王(从前明朝的藩属国),他和其他使节才会从中国监狱释放出来。[10] 不过,到1540年代,中葡关系再度正常化,并且在1557年,得到明朝朝廷的许可,在华南的澳门建立起一个永久性基地。
在去世前,他用庄重感人的词句写了一封信给国王曼努埃尔一世,为他的行为辩护,并要求将应归于他的爵位和赏金传给他的儿子。他的遗体被安葬在果阿的圣母教堂。葡萄牙国王后来确信他的忠诚,于是为过去的忘恩负义尽力偿还,将许多荣誉赐给他的私生子布拉斯·德·阿尔布克尔克(Brás de Albuquerque) (1500—1580)[12]。1576年,后者将他父亲的作品出版了选集,标题为“Commentarios do Grande Affonso d'Alboquerque”[13]。
