Leal Senado Square - Macau - China
Leal Senado SquareThe 'Largo do Senado', Senado Square is situated in the heart of Macau's shopping area and is undoubtedly one of the most interesting spots in the city. Both tourists and local people enjoy the square, where there are a lot of activities all year round. Covering 3,700 square meters, the wave-patterned mosaic tile pavement was created by Portuguese experts in a traditional style found in many parts of Southern Europe. From the main road to the Church of St. Dominic, the pavement extends to the Ruins of St. Paul's, making the heart of the city a pedestrian paradise. All but essential vehicles are banned from the square, which features a fountain shaped like an artillery sphere as well as monumental plants and benches.

Lou Lim Ieoc Garden - Macau - China
Lou Lim Ieoc Garden This is the most Chinese of Macau's gardens and was built, together with a flamboyant western-style house, by a wealthy Chinese merchant in the 19th century. He was known as Lou Kau, which is the popular name for the garden, and on his death in 1906 his son Lou Lim Ieoc inherited the property. The family fortunes declined and in 1938 the house was sold and converted into a school, which it remains. The garden fell into ruins and was bought and restored by the government which opened it to the public in 1974.

Macau Museum - Macau - China
Macau MuseumOther museum in Macau focus on special aspects of the city but the Macau Museum seeks to embody the life of the place and its people from the first settlement to the present day. It contains no objects of great monetary value but rather a vast collection of historic and social memorabilia. Some exhibits are originals, some reproductions but all are part of the essence of Macau. So much so that local residents make regular visits of the museum, as if it were the home of friends.
