What are the landmarks in Macau?

Macau Sightseeing Tower 1

Macau, Hong Kong and Macau are often called sightseeing towers. From the ground to the highest point, the total height is 338 meters, 1 109 feet. The subjective photosphere is located at 223 meters and 732 feet above the ground. It is the 10 independent sightseeing tower in the world and a member of the World Tower Alliance. The 338m "height" of Macau Sightseeing Tower is higher than the Sky Tower in Auckland, the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the AMPTower in Sydney. The periphery of the 233-meter-high tower is only 1.8 meters wide, and there are no handrails in the whole process.

2. St. Paul's archway

The archway of St. Paul's Cathedral, officially known as the ruins of St. Paul's Cathedral, commonly known as the archway of St. Paul's Cathedral, is the ruins of the front wall of the Church of Our Lady of Macao (St. Paul's Cathedral, completed on 1580). Sao Paulo archway is one of the landmark buildings in Macao and one of the "eight scenic spots in Macao". The archway architecture of Dasanba combines the styles of European Renaissance and Oriental architecture, and embodies the blending of eastern and western arts, with fine carving and great momentum.

A triangular pyramid shape consisting of three to five floors, whether it is the towering cross at the top of the archway, the statue of the infant under the bronze pigeon, or the statue of the Virgin surrounded by angels and flowers, is full of rich religious flavor and gives people beautiful enjoyment. The statues on the archway are lifelike and can be called "three-dimensional Bible".

3. Love Lane in Macau

Love Lane is located in the center of Macao Peninsula, between Dasanba Street and Dasanba Right Street, with a total length of about 50 meters and a history of more than 80 years. Building 5 of Love Lane to Building 1 1 are decorated completely and consistently, mainly in red and light yellow, with a "gentle" feeling. 13 building is a mixture of different architectural styles of neoclassicism and modernism. Even though Love Lane is one of the tourist attractions, it has been designated as a pedestrian zone and beautified to make Love Lane more distinctive. There used to be movies and TV series shooting in Love Lane, which is also a good place to take wedding photos.

4. Mage Temple

Located in the southwest of Macao Peninsula, Mazu Pavilion is one of the three major temples in Macao and one of the most famous scenic spots in Macao. It was built in the first year of Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty (1488), with a history of more than 500 years. Ma Ge Temple, formerly known as Mazu Pavilion, is located in the southwest of Macao. The main buildings are Daxiong Hall, Hong Ren Hall and Guanyin Pavilion.

The temple is mainly dedicated to the Taoist fairy Mazu, also known as "Tianhou Niangniang" and "Tianfei Niangniang". It is said that it can predict good and bad luck and often help businessmen and fishermen to save the day and solve maritime problems. Therefore, Fujian people negotiated with the local people and built a temple at the current site for sacrifice. On July 15, 2005, at the 29th session of the World Heritage Committee held in Durban, South Africa, historical blocks in Macao, including the former site of Lugou Temple, were listed on the World Heritage List.

5. Rose Hall in Macau

The Church of Roses, named Notre Dame de Roses and Santo Domingo Church, is located in the center of Macau. The church was built by Spanish Santo Domingo in 1587, with the Notre Dame theRosary as the main protection, and was taken over by the Portuguese priest of the church the following year. At first, it was only built with wooden boards, so it was called "Banzhangtang" by Chinese people. It was not until the 7th century that it was changed into a masonry structure. 1874 was destroyed by the fire, and it became the present scale after reconstruction in that year.
