The Macao Museum is a historical and cultural museum with a vast number of objects of great historical value, which demonstrates the way of life and cultures of the various communities which have been inhabited the city for ages. The first floor is a short and comparative presentation of the way western and Chinese civilizations were developed before the arrival of the Portuguese in the Pearl River Delta in the 16th century. Besides, history of Macao, commercial activities, religions and cultures of the two civilizations are also displayed. Mounting the stairs to the second floor, visitors have the opportunity to come into contact with different aspects of the popular art and traditions of Macao; such as people's daily lives, entertainment, religious ceremonies and traditional festivals. The third floor shows contemporary Macao including the characteristic aspects of city life. The way Macao has been portrayed in literature and the arts is prominently highlighted.

My dears, there is a Lianfeng Temple with a very interesting story hidden in Rua do Almirante in Macau! It was built around the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Its ancient name was Tianfei Temple. It is one of the three ancient temples in Macau and has a history of nearly 400 years. This was once the residence of Qing Dynasty officials who came to Macau, and it is also called the official temple. The temple consists of three rooms connected horizontally, with two entrances, front and back. The central hall of the first entrance is dedicated to the Queen Mother of Heaven. The magnificent square worship pavilion in front of the hall was once the residence of officials handling cases. The central hall of the second entrance is dedicated to Guanyin. The side halls also enshrine gods such as Guandi, Yiling Emperor, Shennong, etc., where Buddha, gods and humans live in harmony. The temple houses the Lingnan-style grey sculptures of dragons and phoenixes, which do not require firing but are shaped and coloured on site. The plaque with the inscription "Chinese and Foreign Grace" from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty is the oldest plaque in Australia. There is also an A-Po Stone in front of the temple, which witnessed the assassination of Macau colonist Amaral by Shen Mi and others in 1849. In 1839, Lin Zexu met with the Portuguese here. Today, a statue of Lin Zexu stands in front of the temple. The Lin Zexu Memorial Hall next to it houses precious pictures and cultural relics such as the Burning of Opium at Humen. Stepping into the Lianfeng Temple is like walking into the historical corridor of Macau, feeling the unique charm of the interweaving of ancient and modern times, it is worth checking in~#澳门景点

I took a hiking trip around Macau Peninsula before the Lunar New Year of the Dragon. It was my first time crossing the border at the Qingmao Port, and it was incredibly fast. The Qingmao Port is located behind the Zhuhai Railway Station, and the customs of the two places are combined into one, requiring only one verification and almost no waiting time. After crossing the border, I encountered an embarrassing situation: my phone lost its internet connection. I usually have a postpaid phone plan and mistakenly assumed roaming would be the same. As soon as I crossed the border, I received a text message reminder, but before I could top up my account, the network was cut off. In this era of heavy reliance on mobile phones, without internet access, one becomes deaf and blind. Fortunately, I had downloaded an offline map on my phone beforehand and marked the key locations of my planned itinerary. My phone map then became a paper map with a compass, still able to guide me, just not as convenient. According to my previous plan, guided by the offline map, I walked towards Guia Hill. I visited the Lin Zexu Memorial Museum and then arrived at the Rotunda Carlos da Maia. I stumbled upon the Macau Fire Services Museum by the roadside, a beautiful yellow building that stands out among the old streets. The Macau Fire Services Museum was built and opened in 1998, mainly to provide local residents with a place to learn about the operation and history of Macau's fire services. The antique fire trucks, old-fashioned fire helmets, and other ancient firefighting tools on display were eye-opening and gave me a new understanding of Macau. Leaving the museum, I walked uphill along the Fire Services Lane to Avenida do Almirante Lacerda. This is a traditional old street that has witnessed the changes of Macau city and is very suitable for taking nostalgic photos. I found a cha chaan teng on the street. I wasn't really hungry, mainly wanting to use their Wi-Fi. I ordered a chicken chop rice with milk tea, and of course, I successfully got online. After topping up my phone, I felt less anxious. The prices in Macau are much higher than in mainland China, roughly equivalent to the prices at airports or on high-speed trains. The portion of chicken chop rice didn't look big, but it was filling and came with an egg. Maybe it was too greasy, or maybe I wasn't that hungry, but I couldn't finish it.

Lin Zexu Memorial Hall is located in the Inner Harbor area of Macau. It is a memorial hall that is both historically significant and educationally valuable. The hall exhibits Lin Zexu's efforts to ban opium during his time in Macau, including the decree he issued to prohibit opium, a simulated scene of opium destruction, and related artifacts and documents. These displays vividly recreate the great contributions of this national hero. The building itself retains a combination of Chinese and Western architectural styles, appearing both ancient and dignified. Walking into the memorial hall feels like traveling back in time to the 19th century, experiencing the turbulent history of resistance against invasion. This place is not only a venue to understand Lin Zexu's spirit but also the best place to deeply appreciate patriotism and the spirit of resistance, leaving visitors with endless reflections and deep respect.

Walking through the quaint streets of Macau, the Lin Zexu Memorial Hall feels like a portal through time, leading me into an era of great patriotism and dedication. This small building with its blue bricks and red tiles may appear modest, but it houses a deeply moving historical narrative that commands respect. Inside the hall, artifacts related to Lin Zexu's anti-opium campaign are on display, from manuscripts to letters, each word revealing the determination and foresight of this great figure. What impressed me the most were the brushes and books he once used; the delicate strokes seem to still carry the fervent energy, telling of his wish to serve the people. The display panels on the walls meticulously document the process of the Humen Opium Destruction, and reading those words, one can almost feel the fire of justice igniting in the sea. Outside the memorial hall's windows is a serene courtyard, shaded by green trees and filled with the gentle sounds of birds. Standing here, it feels as though the winds of history are whispering in my ears. I silently reflect that this memorial hall is not only to commemorate a great man but also to awaken our belief in cherishing peace and justice.
