 * 4. Bukit China
 * Sam-po chiⁿ

 * 'Sampo's wells.' (There are wells at the foot of Bukit China and the name of "Sampo's well" is is given to them, because there is a legend, in which the Chinese believe, that a Eunuch of the Ming Dynasty visited Malacca and dug these wells. Similarly the old Fort is called "Sam-po-kong Siaⁿ, 'the fort of Sam-po,' and there are various other names locally connected with the legend of Sam-po's visit.)
