MACAO WORLD HERITAGE・CHURCHES St. Lawrence's Church #world HERITAGE#religion Built by the Jesuits in the mid-16th century, this is one of the three oldest churches in Macao. Its present appearance and scale was acquired in 1846. Situated on the southern coastline of Macao overlooking the sea, families of Portuguese sailors used to gather on the front steps of the church to pray and wait for their return, hence it was given the name: Feng Shun Tang (Hall of the Soothing Winds). The neighbourhood where the church is located used to be fairly wealthy, thus explaining the building's scale and wealth of architectural treatment. It is a neo-classical structure, with subtle Baroque decorative inspirations.#fallingforfall #tripblazers #spooktaculartrip

Day 1: A Century-old Chinese Mansion In the early morning, we strolled to the Lou Kau Mansion located on Long Song Street. Built in the 19th century, this Chinese mansion attracts countless visitors with its elegant Lingnan architectural style. Upon entering, the ancient wooden carved windows and stone pillars come into view, with every detail revealing the former glory and wealth of the family. The exhibition hall displays traditional furniture and daily necessities, making one feel as if they have traveled back to that prosperous era. In the afternoon, we headed to Senado Square, where the Portuguese architectural complex and the neat wave-patterned stone pavement immerse one in an exotic atmosphere. The cafes here are also great places to relax, savoring a cup of coffee and quietly enjoying the passage of time. Day 2: The Fusion of Tradition and Modernity The next day, we first visited St. Lawrence's Church, a church with a gentle yellow tone that exudes a warm and elegant temperament. The serene atmosphere inside brings peace to the soul. We then moved to the Fortaleza do Monte, overlooking the entire city from the hilltop, where skyscrapers and historical sites intertwine to form a magnificent picture, perfectly blending history and modernity. Two days of exploration not only allowed us to appreciate the cultural heritage of Macau but also to feel the unique charm of the city, bringing a wealth of experiences and emotions.

Macau, a city that perfectly blends Eastern and Western cultures in terms of lifestyle, art, architecture, and cuisine. Personally, I love the way of life here. Even within the big city, there are still peaceful corners that retain their traditional ways. Walking around the city allows you to truly experience the lives of the locals. Here are the places I visited in one day: - Albergue SCM - The Ruins of St. Paul's - Portuguese Street - Mandarin House - St. Lawrence’s Church - Kun Iam Statue by the Sea - Coloane Village

Walking into St. Lawrence's Church feels like stepping into another time. The white sanctuary, nestled in a quiet corner, caught my eye with its simple and elegant appearance. The church's exterior glows softly in the sunlight, contrasting beautifully with the blue sky and green trees, exuding an aura of tranquility and solemnity. Pushing open the heavy wooden doors, the interior space takes my breath away. The high ceiling adorned with exquisite carvings, and the soft sunlight filtering through stained glass, create a stunning play of light and shadow, as if casting a sacred filter over the entire hall. Each row of pews seems to be waiting for a prayer, while the silent statues and decorations on the walls tell stories of centuries-old faith and history. Standing before the altar, the noise fades away, leaving only a profound sense of peace within. This historic church is not only a sanctuary for the soul but also a witness to the passage of time. Here, I feel the sanctity of religion and the deep beauty that time has bestowed. As I leave, a gentle breeze seems to bring a blessing, reminding me to cherish this inner peace.

The Church of St. Lawrence, Igreja de São Lourenço, established in the mid-16th century, is one of the three oldest churches in Macau. The academic view is that the church was built before 1569, underwent multiple reconstructions, and its current scale was formed in 1846. Chinese people call it "Fengxintang", and it is also known as "Fengshuntang" in Cantonese due to its homophonic sound. It carries the meaning of praying for "favorable wind and rain". It is now a part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Historic Centre of Macao. On the front facade of the building, the left wing is a clock and the right wing is a bell tower. In the center of the hall, there is a statue of St. Lorenzo on the main altar. On both sides, there are small chapels, forming a cross shape when viewed from above. 📍Fengshun Tang Street, Fengshun Tang District, Macau 🕙Monday to Friday 07:00-18:00, Saturday and Sunday 07:00-21:00 💰Free 📷2022.12.24
