Historical and Cultural heritage
#timetotravel #macaulifestyle #macautrip #timetotravel #historicalplace #Cultural Macao was the first European enclave in Asia. Its colonial history started with the arrival of Portuguese tradesmen in 1557. Over the years they developed Macao into one of the major trade ports in Asia - as a stopover on the route to Japan or as part of the Silk Route by sea. Macao is also the longest-lasting and finest example of interchange between Chinese and Western civilizations. The monuments that make up this WHS are divided into two zones: The central area can be found along the Rua Direita, leading from the ancient Chinese harbour in the south to the old Christian city in the north. Major monuments here are the A-Ma temple, the Leal Senado Square and the Ruins of St. Paul's Church.

Mid-Autumn Festival (Moon Festival) 2023,
Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhongqiu Jie (中秋节) in Chinese, also known as the Mooncake Festival or Moon Festival, is one of China's biggest holidays. The festival is a joyous celebration with family reunions, mooncakes, parades, and lanterns.
In Hong Kong and Macau, the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival is a public holiday rather than the festival date itself (unless that date falls on a Sunday, then Monday is also a holiday), because many celebration events are held at night.

Macau Post Office
#campingglamping #2023travelwish #foodie #mytripvlog #tripblazers #celebratewithtrip.
Its history dates back to the 18th century. The Macao Post building was designed taking into account the ideas of Portuguese architect Carlos Rebelo de Andrade and Chinese architect Chan Kun Pui. With colonial markings on the exterior walls, it resembles lots of constructions from Portugal in the same period, specially in big cities like Lisbon and Oporto. The Macao Post Office has several services such as normal and rapid mail, but also EMS and others. It is wide inside as well.
It’s close to a series of important sites such as the Leal Senado Building and Senado Square, but also São Domingos Market and Church, and a five-minute walk away from the Ruins of St.Paul

INSTITUTE FOR MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS
#campingglamping #tripblazers #nationalpark #foodie #mytripvlog #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #nationalpark.
The Municipal Affairs Bureau (Chinese: 市政署; Portuguese: Instituto para os Assuntos Municipais) of Macau is an administrative body without political powers responsible for providing certain civic services for the special administrative region and is the successor to the Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau (Portuguese: Instituto para os Assuntos Cívicos e Municipais) which was abolished in 2019. The latter was formed to handle the functions of the former municipalities of Macau and their councils and assemblies that were abolished on 1 January 2002, slightly more than two years after Macau became a special administrative region (SAR) of the People's Republic of China. The body is under the Secretariat for Administration and Justice of the Macau government.

Macau Senado Square-Christmas tree (2022)
#2023travelwish #mytripvlog #tripblazers #spooktaculartrip #campingglamping.
It's Christmas and the whole square is beautifully lit with a huge Christmas tree and decorations. Its buzzing whether by day or night. Looks different so go there twice if you have time. Photos turned out differently. Nice architecture and the feel of Portuguese origins are strong. Do make a trip down if you are in Macau.
It's nice to come to this area after spending time in the malls. Pretty old building, and on one of the street, filled with food shops offering free samples.

Night at The Senado Square, Macau
#spooktaculartrip #tripblazers #fallingforfall #campingglamping #summervacation #awesomepic #mytripvlog The square was named after the Leal Senado, a meeting place for the Chinese and Portuguese in the 16th to 18th centuries, located directly in front of the square, where Leal Senado Building stands today. In 1940, a small garden was built at the centre of the square, featuring a bronze statue of Vicente Nicolau de Mesquita standing above a stone pillar pulling out a sword. The statue was pulled down in the 12-3 incident as Mesquita was responsible for the deaths of many Qing Chinese soldiers. A fountain was built at its site and still stands today. I
