#February Good Places 2025 Usually going to Macau without going to the casino and eating Portuguese cuisine, today we spent the whole day savoring Macau's different European architecture, using different perspectives to appreciate Macau, to understand the history. Two of them I would like to introduce to you are the Civil Affairs Department Building in front of the Assembly Pavilion and the main church. Both buildings were built during the Portuguese colonial period. The bricks and wood on the walls exude Western European style. #Macau History Tour

I've been to Macau several times and walked the path to the Ruins of St. Paul's, but many people haven't actually gone inside. They often assume it's an office building, but in reality, it's open to the public. There are two exhibition halls on the first floor, left and right, and they also sell souvenirs like fridge magnets. - Municipal Council: Macau has a long history of municipal governance. The predecessor of the municipal organization was the Leal Senado, established in 1583. In 1835, the Leal Senado was dissolved, and the Municipal Council of Macau was established. After the Portuguese occupied Taipa and Coloane in 1851 and 1864 respectively, the Islands Municipal Council was established, subordinate to the Municipal Council of Macau. In 1928, the Islands Municipal Council separated from the Municipal Council of Macau. It's free to visit, and it's a shame that many people shy away from it. - Provisional Municipal Council: After Macau's return to China in 1999, the original municipal organizations were reorganized into provisional municipal organizations, namely the Provisional Municipal Council of Macau and the Provisional Municipal Council of the Islands. They were abolished on January 1, 2002. - Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau (IACM): Starting from January 1, 2002, the Macau SAR government abolished the Provisional Municipal Council of Macau and the Provisional Municipal Council of the Islands, transferring their powers and duties to the newly established Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau. - Municipal Affairs Bureau (IAM): In July 2018, the Legislative Assembly of Macau passed the "Law on the Establishment of the Municipal Affairs Bureau." On January 1, 2019, the Municipal Affairs Bureau (IAM) was officially established, replacing the Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau (IACM).

Macau may be small, but many places are decorated for the New Year. Flowers, the character "fu" (福), and red lanterns are all over the place, and the Ruins of St. Paul's and the Leal Senado Building are full of Chinese New Year vibes. Nowadays, cities are increasingly decorated in a Western style, and what is missing is Chinese cultural decorations. Chinese New Year should be celebrated with Chinese decorations, as this is our Chinese New Year. Macau has a total of 25 World Heritage Sites, including the Leal Senado Building, A-Ma Temple, the Maritime Museum, the Mandarin's House, and St. Lawrence's Church. We stayed in Macau until the Lantern Festival just to see the fireworks, and it was really great. One of the best viewing spots I chose was by the river under the Wynn Macau, with the Macau Tower right above. Another viewing spot is at the Sofitel Macau at Ponte 16, where we saw the spectacular fireworks from our room. It was amazing!

✅Leal Senado Building (Municipal Affairs Bureau Building), formerly the Macau City Hall, was built in 1784 and has been rebuilt several times to its current scale. 🌈White exterior walls, dark green doors and windows, blue and white porcelain tiles, Baroque-style window cornices, and a small and exquisite back garden, all exuding a Southern European style. 📍Address: No. 163, Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro, Macau 📍Opening hours: 9:00–21:00

Macau Macau Tourism There are many tourist attractions in Macau, but this time I went to the City Hall, so I'll share what it was like there. 📍 City Hall 📍 No. 163 Av. Almeida Ribeiro (San Ma Lo), Macau The City Hall (Real Senado Building) was built in 1784 and is the first building owned by the Macau City Council. It still serves that role today. The name "Real Senado" (Loyal Council) is said to come from the words of praise given to Macau by King Dom John IV of Portugal in 1654: "Macau, the city of God's name, has no other loyalty!" The white exterior walls are a beautiful color, and once inside there is a courtyard It's a must-see tourist spot #Macau #MacauTourism #MacauTrip #WorldHeritage #WorldHeritageMacau #MacauWorldHeritage #St.LawrenceChurch #DomPedroVTheatre #St.AugustineChurch #RobertHoughtonLibrary #St.AugustineSquare #CityOffice #RealSenadoBuilding #TravelwithMe

I passed by the [Macau Civil Affairs Bureau] when I visited Senado Street at night, but if you come during the day, you can visit it inside. Just a brief stroll in the back garden is worth it. 🗺️Let me tell you where it is first🗺️ No. 163, Xinma Road, Macau Peninsula, is a well-known attraction and can be found with any navigation. A little reminder is that if you are on the side of the main road, please pay attention to safety even if you cannot take a taxi. 🖼️Overall impression🖼️ It was really unexpected. I thought it was an administrative agency open to the public, but there are two exhibition spaces inside and a Portuguese-style back garden that is worth seeing! ⛲️Portuguese Garden⛲️ Although the garden is not large, it is very exquisite. There are commemorative sculptures and relief murals. The Portuguese style features of the building itself and the combination of gardening flowers and plants are very impressive. It is recommended to pay attention to the details, including carvings, tile printing, wrought iron doors, etc., they are all very beautiful. The small scenes from many angles are very suitable for taking pictures📷, and there are indeed many people queuing up here to check in~ There are a few seats in the garden where you can sit. It would be so nice to read a book or drink a cup of coffee quietly here☕️. 📝To summarize📝 Although I didn’t look at the contents of the exhibition space that day and just briefly visited the garden at the back, it did leave a very deep impression. If you pass by [Civil Affairs Bureau] during the day, remember to come and take a look at the back garden ~
