🌟After visiting the He Dong Former Residence in Shanghai, I made sure to include the He Dong Library in my itinerary for Macau. 🌟The He Dong Library is located at Tap Seac Square. The library has four floors, with books and reading areas on the second and third floors. It's bright and quiet, and the book collection is extensive. Foreign language books are all on the fourth floor. ❤My favorite part is the children's reading room. When the elevator doors open, you step into a children's world. You pass through a cartoon-themed corridor to reach the reading room, where there are low bookshelves with books neatly organized by category, small tables and chairs, and even low windows so that children can see the garden outside. It's a cute, interesting, equal, and warm space. I love it! 😍

There are many tourist attractions in Macau, but this time I went to the Robert Ho Tung Library, a World Heritage Site, so I'll share what it was like there. 📍 Robert Ho Tung Library 📍 3 Largo de Santo Agostinho, Macau The Robert Ho Tung Library was built before 1894 and was originally the residence of Dona Carolina Cunha. In 1918, Hong Kong businessman Sir Robert Ho Tung purchased it and used it as a villa. After Sir Robert Ho Tung passed away in 1955, it was donated to the Macau government in accordance with his will, and it was renovated into a library and is still in use today. Inside, there is a courtyard and a small fountain, so it seems like it would be nice to read a book outside, and I saw some people doing so. It's amazing that a library that is still in use is a World Heritage Site! #Macau #Macau Tourism #Macau Trip #World Heritage Sites #World Heritage Sites Macau #Macau World Heritage Sites #St. Lawrence Church #Dom Pedro V Theatre #St. Augustine Church #Robert Houghton Library #Me and Travel
