🇲🇴Explore Macau | Lou Family Mansion, a journey through time and space

My dears, when you come to Macau, in addition to the bustling casinos and food streets, the Lou Family Mansion with its profound history is definitely worth a visit! Lou Kau Mansion, as part of Macau's World Cultural Heritage, was built in the 15th year of the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty (1889) and is the former residence of the Lou Wah Siu family, a Macau businessman. Stepping into this Chinese-style blue brick mansion is like opening a treasure box of time. The layout of three entrances and two floors reveals the wisdom of the ancients everywhere. The foyer is equipped with a screen to ward off evil spirits, which is both practical and adds a touch of mystery. The central hall is a place for daily living and entertaining guests. Imagine the people coming and going and the laughter here in the past. The back hall is a sacred place for ancestor worship, carrying the family's traditions and beliefs. Looking up, the exquisite wood carvings, brick carvings, plaster sculptures and other decorations all demonstrate the superb skills of the craftsmen. The inscriptions on the wall tell the story of the years. Strolling through the streets, you can feel the pulse of history, and every step you take is based on the splendor of the past. Next time you come to Macau, don’t forget to visit the Lou Family Mansion to experience this unique Chinese style and have an unforgettable cultural journey~ #澳门景点
