Historic Centre of Macao

#campingglamping #2023travelwish #celebratewithtrip #foodie #mytripvlog #tripblazers #awesomepic. Macao, a lucrative port of strategic importance in the development of international trade, was under Portuguese administration from the mid-16th century until 1999, when it came under Chinese sovereignty. With its historic street, residential, religious and public Portuguese and Chinese buildings, the historic centre of Macao provides a unique testimony to the meeting of aesthetic, cultural, architectural and technological influences from East and West. The site also contains a fortress and a lighthouse, the oldest in China. It bears witness to one of the earliest and longest-lasting encounters between China and the West, based on the vibrancy of international trade.

Macau | Scenic Walk in the Old Town Area - Monte Fort Park

🚗 The Historic Centre of Macau, located on the Macau Peninsula of the Macao Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, centers around the old city of Macau and connects more than 20 historical buildings. The area of the historic district extends from the Mount Fortress in the east to the Inner Harbour Pier near San Ma Lo in the west, from the A-Ma Temple in the south to the Camoes Park in the north. The construction of the various buildings in this architectural complex dates from the Ming Dynasty to the Republic of China, spanning over 400 years. 🚗 Take the light rail to the Barrier Gate Station 🚇 A-Ma Temple 🚶 A-Ma Temple 🚶 Macau Old Town (Ruins of St. Paul's, Macau Museum, Guia Lighthouse, Monte Fort Park, Senado Square). Alternatively, you can take bus 26 directly from The Londoner to the vicinity of the Ruins of St. Paul's. 🚗 I seem to remember seeing somewhere that it should be a World Cultural Heritage site, but to be honest, it didn't feel very impressive. The surrounding attractions are quite concentrated, but they are built on a hill, and some places require climbing stairs. It feels quite hot at noon, but there is also a large flow of people, and the weather does not seem to affect people's enthusiasm at all. 🚗 Many small shops in the surrounding streets are quite good, and some streets will be temporarily turned into pedestrian lanes. There's a lot of food, and most of it can be paid for with a mobile phone.

When we talk about Macau, what do we first think of? It is the song "Do you know that MACAU is not my real name?", is it a colorful entertainment city, or a delicious Portuguese egg tart? Before I went to Macau, my impression of Macau was very shallow. When I went shopping in Macau for 3 days, I fell in love with the city. This is an inclusive city, a city that makes you feel comfortable. Whether it's a humane atmosphere or a variety of cuisines, people are lingering. "Friendly" is my deepest impression of the city. When I walk on the street to see the road signs, the locals will take the initiative to ask if they need help, and will help me to guide me; when I need to change the money by bus, the convenience store's grandmother also I will smile and help me change the change; when we asked the hotel how to watch the fireworks show, the young man in the concierge quickly took out the map prepared by the hotel, used the pen to draw the position of the fireworks show, where is the best viewing angle, from the hotel A few cars can arrive... I received such active help during my trip. I was "flattered" at first, maybe I was passively solving problems in my previous trip, but this time there are so many local helpers in Macau. People, this makes me feel good about the city. So, in the three days in Macau, we have always maintained a good mood, shopping and eating are all cheerful, and finally left when I left, I feel that I will come again later. This is probably the charm of Macau.
