The origin of the name of Fifth Street in October.
I believe many local old neighborhoods will know that the nickname of "October 5th Street" is "Yunmeng Street", which was named after Yunmeng Wharf demolished by sea reclamation there, and many old residents still call it this way. /kloc-at the beginning of 0/0, the area where Fifth Street is located once belonged to Beiwan and Shallow Bay more than 100 years ago, and the navigation channel is tortuous. Later, before the waterway was straightened out, it was reclaimed from the sea and a passenger ferry terminal was built on the shore. Most of the docks are integrated with offices and ticket offices, which will be very crowded whenever passengers and goods are nervous. In the past, the inner port was the hub of Macao's external maritime traffic, where passenger and cargo ships bound for the mainland, Hong Kong and outlying islands were concentrated, and it was also the place where fishing boats docked, which promoted the economic development of October Fifth Street and made it one of the bustling streets in Macao at that time.

On the fifth day of October, this traffic trunk line was once called Lu Anova Delree in Portuguese, but in Lisbon, Portugal, Lu Anova is an important commercial avenue and the trading center of Asian commodities. Because the pattern of commercial streets around October 5th Street in Macau is similar to Lisbon, October 5th Street is called New King Street. At present, the name of the Fifth Street in October is to commemorate the exile of Portuguese King Manuel II, the assassination of his father and brother, and the national day when Portugal overthrew the monarchy and established peace on June 5438+09 10. Therefore, 10 was renamed Fifth Street.
