Introduction of Macao Historic District
Macao Historic District or Historical Town of Macao is a historic district, with 22 buildings located on the Macao Peninsula and 8 adjacent frontages, with the old city as the core and connected by adjacent squares and streets, including more than 20 historic buildings. Because of the integration of Chinese and western cultures, most buildings in the urban area have the characteristics of combining Chinese and western cultures, and were rated as world heritage sites in 2005.
In July, 2005, at the 29th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, the historic district of Macau was officially listed as China World Heritage No.31.
Magemiao
It is best to visit this historic city from the Mage Temple. Go to the oldest temple in Macao first, buy two amulets and wish your family good luck. There is also a port authority building on the left side of the mage temple, where you can have a look at this exotic architectural style. When you walk through Mage Street, you will meet the Zheng family mansion by chance. You can enjoy the quadrangle structure with Lingnan characteristics in China, the design of western-style carved windows, and the land in front of Yapu well photographed by many film and television works.
San Lorenzo, Lucina
Cross Gaolou Street until you come to St. Lawrence Church Street, and you will see St. Leng Zuo Church. This church has an exotic gate, with a pointed roof covered with glazed tiles, a cross on the gate and bell towers on both sides. You can also go in and have a look. Back to Sanbazi Street, you can reach St. Joseph Monastery and Temple. There are bronze bells of different sizes on the right tower of the temple. You'd better go to Long Fu Street nearby. Also known as "red doors and windows", it is marked by the red doors and windows of the second floor building of the whole street. Very distinctive. Turn right before Dinggang, and you will arrive at Dinggang Theatre, Hedong Library and St. Austin Church. These places are very close and full of European sentiment, which is very suitable for taking pictures here.
Home affairs department building
You can see the civil affairs department building next to the new road. If you come here in summer, you can see the special pink color of the walls around the square reflected by the sun. Especially beautiful. You can sit here and have a rest. Opposite the civil administration building is the place in front of the parliament hall. You can go for a walk and buy some calligraphy to take back. On the left front of the tomb is the Third Street Guild Hall, also known as Guandi Temple, dedicated to Wu Yu. You can go in and worship. On the right of Guandi Temple is the building of Kindhearted Hall. In the museum on the second floor, you can visit the full-length statue, skull and cross of Macao's first Catholic bishop. Moreover, this is the right lane of Kindness Hall at night, and it is also a very good experience to take pictures when the lights hanging on the lane wall are on.
Ina Temple in Lobby Lane
From Renci Hall to the left, you can go to Sanlao Lengzuo Hall, where there are many religious murals to watch. From here, you can go directly to the lobby lane, and you can reach Lujia Mansion. This combination of Chinese and western construction industry is worth stopping. On the left in front of the classroom in Lujia Mansion is the rose of Notre Dame, and there are two couplets at the entrance, which is quite characteristic of China. Then, go straight along St. Paul Street, the former enemy of the Rose Hall, until you come to the end of the street, and you will see the St. Paul Archway, which is also a landmark of Macao. Don't forget to take pictures here. On the right of Sanba memorial arch is Dabao. You can stop and have a look. Next to Dabao is the Macao Museum, with three floors, where you can learn more about the culture and history of Macao. On the left side of the museum is the ruins of the old city wall, which is a city wall full of vicissitudes. When you come to the end, you will see a relatively small temple in Haona.
0 10 to 10 10, turn left from Nabao Temple to Huawangtang Street, and you can get to St. Anthony's Hall. In front is the former site of the Oriental Foundation, the East Wang Yang Fort and Lighthouse, and the Notre Dame Snow Church. These scenic spots are linked together and can be visited together. It is worth mentioning that walking here is already the highest peak of the Macao Peninsula, and it is also a good choice to look into the distance here.
