Written in front of the words:


Macau, with all its glamor and charm, is outstanding. No one is not fascinated by its fashion and trend, modernity and avant-garde, and no one easily ignores its past and the old stories that people talk about so far. Thinking of the past or looking to the future, it is a city with a distinctive accent.

Welcome to Macau, a quarantine-free healthy city~

At present, the epidemic situation in Macau is relatively under control, and tourists can rest assured to travel and vacation in Macau. Mainland tourists can travel to and from Macau without quarantine if they meet the conditions of Macau's epidemic prevention and carry a valid negative nucleic acid test certificate within 7 days.

After the epidemic, I returned to Macau and collected 10 inspiring travel photography treasures, some are modern and fashionable, some are low-key and luxurious, and some are full of fun...There is always one worthy of you, get up and arrive.

Macao Municipal Affairs Bureau


There are many small but beautiful and colorful buildings in Macau, many of which are world-class heritage sites.

As one of them, the Municipal Administration of Macau is very unique, because it is one of the few government agencies that can be visited for free, and the small and fresh scenery is also very good to take pictures!

The Macao Municipal Administration was built at the end of the 16th century. It was commonly known as the Senado or City Hall in the past. It used to be the office of the Macao Public Affairs Bureau and municipal agencies. Due to damage from natural disasters, major repairs were carried out in 1940. The building was once used as an office building of municipal agencies, museums, post and telecommunications agencies, health agencies, courts and prisons. Now a library is located in the building. There are many stone carvings of historical value embedded in the walls of the building.

Looking carefully at the tiles on the wall, it is also a long time ago. This is the most classic blue and white pattern tile in Portugal. At first glance, you may think it is Chinese blue and white porcelain, but it is not the same. In fact, the tile culture of Portugal is also influenced by Chinese porcelain. , and later developed by himself.

There is also a flower-like garden in the inner courtyard of the Municipal Administration. The green window lattice has an exotic style, and it is also very nice to take pictures.

When we went there, it was just in time for the Children's Play Fair and Nostalgic Toy Fair held by the Municipal Affairs Bureau. It was really an eye-opener!

Here are about 300 pieces of old toys from private collections, including glue, iron, paper and other materials. The production years range from the beginning of the last century to the 1980s, and the types are diverse.

From toy cars, airplanes, dolls, chess, guns, paper dolls to spinning tops, they are all popular toys in the last century, and some of them are more than one hundred years old, so they are very precious!

I don’t know if it’s because the older you get, the easier it is to miss the past. Like when I was a kid, I used to play with jumping rubber bands, bully game consoles, stickers, etc. I can find them here! I feel really old...

Senado Square

Senado Square is also a place where people gather, and locals usually participate in some government-organized activities here. This square is not very big, and it is very nice to take pictures.

When we went, the sun was just right, and when we looked up, we could see the Portuguese-style buildings that had gone through vicissitudes. It was a feeling of long-lost travel that we stopped and patted.

Senado Square is named because it is located in Senado (the predecessor of Macau City Hall); in the 1970s, a fountain was newly built in the center of the square, and local residents also commonly called this place "Fountain". Since its opening, Senado Square has always been the center of Macau, where many festivals and celebrations are held.

The previous site was the square in front of the General Administration of Civil Affairs building, forming a funnel shape with a wide front and a narrow back. The buildings on both sides were built at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.

On the right side are mainly the post office building with western classicism features and the neoclassical Church of Mercy building; on the left side is a row of three-storey neoclassical buildings with pedestrian corridors, with various architectural colors and different window styles

Since 1993, black and white crushed stones have been paved in the Qiandi area and laid in a wavy pattern, which is both beautiful and distinctive; it complements the surrounding colorful cultural relics and buildings, reflecting each other, making the Qiandi area show a strong southern European style.

The colors of these buildings are really beautiful. Look carefully at the lower part of the eaves and the bottom part of the building. There are rich geometric pattern decorations with Art Deco characteristics. The decorative pattern of the iron flower railings on the stairs has typical Art Deco characteristics.

The Art Deco style came into being in the 1920s, and became popular in Europe and America, especially in some big cities in the United States by the end of the 1920s. Macau and some big cities in Europe and America became popular almost at the same time as this new architectural fashion.

The sphere, because it changes color and emits a characteristic tone when it is shaken by people's hands or when it is slapped.

As the colors change, the space is constantly crossing between the three-dimensional objects formed by a bunch of balls and the plane formed by colors.

Thinking about it, the memory of the Macau Light and Shadow Music Festival still stays in 2018.

Strategies for customs clearance without isolation

Since September 23, tourist visas for mainland residents to Macau have been fully restored. Mainland tourists who meet the conditions of Macau’s epidemic prevention and carry a valid negative nucleic acid test certificate within 7 days can travel to and from Macau without quarantine.

Nucleic acid in hand, just go away~ (For details, please refer to the latest guidelines issued by the Macao Health Bureau)

At present, the epidemic situation in Macau is relatively under control, and tourists can rest assured to travel and vacation in Macau.

【About endorsement processing】:

At present, the self-service endorsement machines in the Mainland are suspended, and you need to go to the manual counter of the public security immigration center in your city to handle it. The manual counter is also very fast, and the personal test can be done in ten minutes. In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, the new certificate can only be mailed to the home; if you endorse, you can choose to mail it or choose to pick it up.

[How to go to Macau after the epidemic? 】

1️⃣ Check if your pass has expired? Appointment endorsement processing

2️⃣Go to handle in person (you must go to the immigration hall)

3️⃣Appoint a hospital for nucleic acid testing two days before departure

4️⃣Fill in the information before entering Macau, and manually convert the Yuekang code to the Aokang code

5️⃣ Aokang code (synchronized nucleic acid results) ➕ Sign and enter

【About Nucleic Acid Detection】:

At present, a valid negative nucleic acid test certificate within 7 days is required to enter and exit Macau! ! ! Very important! ! !

It is also very simple to do nucleic acid. What I do in a medical institution is a throat swab. The nurse will take a cotton swab and take a sample in the mouth. The whole process takes less than a minute and there will be no discomfort.

【Entry into Macau】:

Note: As long as friends from outside the province enter the country through Zhuhai, they must first register for the Yuekang code and then convert to the Aokang code

I entered the customs through the Hengqin Port. I first showed the [Yuekang Code] and then transferred to the [Aokang Code], and then passed the customs step by step with fingerprints. Finally, there will be fully armed quarantine personnel checking the nucleic acid certificate. If the test is done in the hospital, Be sure to stamp it! I did the test at a medical institution and asked me to sign my name manually. After all inspections are correct, they will be released.

When leaving the country, transfer [Aokang Code] to [Yuekang Code] according to the original method, and also scan the code to exit the country.
