Camoes Garden (Jardim Luís de Camões)
#celebratewithtrip #campingglamping #mytripvlog #tripblazers #spooktaculartrip.
We really enjoyed our stop at the Camoes Garden and Grotto this past week. The Grotto area was decent and there were some interestingly patterned tiles leading into the heart of the garden area. However, what we really liked was the thick, flush green, rainforest like environment within the park. During the cooler months, this made a great break from the sun but did have us thinking about how hot and humid it must be here during the summer, probably not the best time in the world to visit.
In this area of Macau, just north of the Ruins of St. Paul, there are several additional attractions, all inclusions of the UNESCO World Heritage collection for the Historic City Centre of Macau. These include Casa Garden, the Old Protestant Cemetery and St. Anthony's Church. However, we enjoy the Camoes Garden, which is a non-UNESCO attraction best within this group. Collectively, you can visit all of these attractions comfortably in one hour. Then you can move down to the heavyweight attractions starting at the Ruins of St. Paul, approx 6-8 minute walk away.
This church is located in front of Camoes Gardens and is sometimes known as Fa Vong Tong (church of flowers). The original bamboo church was built 100 years before the stone church (1638) which commemorates the patron saint of Catholic marriages, St. Anthony. Mass is held there on several days of the week and is quite popular among newly weds.
St. Antoni Church, one of the three ancient churches in Macau, was founded in 1565, and after many reconstructions, the original Portuguese weddings were held here, and the church with a sense of history is worth a visit.
The ancient church in Macau is not far from the St. Paul's, a relatively low-key place, the color is not eye-catching, but it is very distinctive, very quiet, sacred, if you have time, you must come here to visit, very beautiful! !
One of the three major churches in Macau, but I just repaired it when I went, I look forward to seeing it next time!
Built between 1558 and 1560, it is one of the three ancient churches in Macau. Most of the early churches in Macau experienced baptism of fire, and St. Antoni is no exception. Today we see the churches of the scale after the 1930s. The Portuguese wedding is held here, and the Chinese call it the "Flower King Hall".
St. Antoni Church Macau is one of the oldest churches located near the St. Paul archway, and the church has another flavor at night
