In Macau (36) | Walking | Feel the character of the city through a stroll

✅Every city has its own character, the indelible yet constantly renewing marks etched by nature, people, and time. Perhaps it's a clarity that's crystal clear at first glance? Or a profoundness that requires meticulous analysis to appreciate? However, each passing of people, the city images they carry in their hearts, perhaps, have their own unique interpretations, just like everyone has their own 'Rome' in their heart. ✅Macau is certainly a city with a rich character. Not to mention the nearly 500 years of integration of Eastern and Western cultures, just the present-day weathered, simple, and even somewhat decadent daily life of the streets and alleys, contrasted with the meticulously crafted, glittering, and world-trend-leading casinos and resorts, is like water and fire, half cool, half passionate. ✅Only by walking through it can one deeply feel it. The recommended City Walking route on the Macau Peninsula takes into account World Heritage sites, modern landmarks, old city streets, and luxury resorts, starting from A-Ma Temple and ending at Largo do Senado, with footsteps measuring the echoes of sound, color, and history. ➡️A-Ma Temple: The oldest temple in Macau, the first stop for the Portuguese, and the origin of the name Macau; ➡️Marine and Water Bureau Building: A European barracks with Islamic decorative style; ➡️Zheng Family Mansion: The former residence of the Zheng family, author of 'Words of Warning in Times of Prosperity', the largest traditional Chinese architectural complex in Macau; ➡️Lilau Square: A quiet corner where ancient springs flow with stories of nostalgia that have been passed down to this day; ➡️Penha Hill: The best viewing platform in front of the small chapel, where even tiny Macau has a vast sea and sky, with the tourist tower reaching into the clouds, the elegant West Bay, the modern South Bay, the green hills of Cotai, and the buildings of Hengqin, all picturesque; ➡️St. Lawrence's Church: St. Lawrence's Church, where countless women and children once watched for returning sails from the high platform in front of the door; ➡️St. Joseph's Seminary and Church: The most beautiful Baroque-style church in Macau, a training base for the spread of Catholicism in East Asia; ➡️Company of Jesus Square: The Company of Jesus Theatre, Sir Robert Ho Tung Library, St. Augustine's Church, a dazzling array of World Heritage sites; ➡️Rua da Felicidade: The former red light district, now with a new look; ➡️San Ma Lo: The 'new' of the 1930s, one of the symbols of Macau's entry into modern society; ➡️Senado Square: The most characteristic memory point of Macau, with the Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau, Santa Casa da Misericórdia, Church of St. Dominic, Cathedral, and the three-street guild halls, a collection of World Heritage sites with Chinese and Western features, not to be missed. ➡️Grand Lisboa➡️Hotel Lisboa: Unique architecture, bustling landmarks. ✅Dual-faced Macau, walk a thousand times, never tire.
