#tripblazers #celebratewithtrip #yearofrabbit #newyearadventure #campingglamping #foodie. Wing Lok Cinema–or Cinema Alegria in Portuguese–is located in an inner city suburb of Macau, close to Kiang Wu hospital. It first opened on February, 1952 with the documentary “The Liberated China”, and had 800 seats at the time. Close to Lin Kai Temple and The Joy of Living Cafe, it’s an ideal spot to head to and enjoy a movie. It is a good example of an Art Deco style cinema and one of the few remaining in Macau. It was very popular, screening films from mainland China, Russia, North Korea and Vietnam and other communist countries and regions. It was soon enlarged to a total of 1,160 seats in stalls and circle levels. A large stage was installed in 1957, and variety shows became part of the programming. In 1997, the cinema was twinned, retaining the original auditorium which is still used for a dual use of films and live theatre, while the small auditorium upstairs in part of the balcony is for film use only.

One fine afternoon roaming around in San Malo, leads me to the beautiful Cathedral of the Nativity of Our Lady, Macau which is the current cathedral of the Diocese of Macau, and a few minutes walk from the busy Senado Square.

I redeemed two nights at this hotel with Hyatt Category 4 certificates before Hyatt's partnership with SLH ended. Occupancy was low after the Lunar New Year, so the front desk upgraded me to a suite. This hotel has very polarized reviews, and it ultimately comes down to how much you're paying. Redeeming Hyatt Category 4 certificates, earned through five different Hyatt brands and stays, for a value of over CNY 2,200 offers excellent value. Like other SLH properties, the hotel has a secluded feel. The front desk staff is welcoming, and electric carts shuttle guests between the main lobby and the residential area. My suite, Room 5105, "Mingshe," is a ground-floor courtyard suite with a private entrance. The small courtyard's outdoor dining table offers reasonable privacy, with two trees partially obscuring the main pathway. The lounge chairs face the banquet hall, an area typically deserted. The bathroom has heated floors. The only drawback to the suite is the separated bathroom layout. The toilet is in its own room without a sink, and this area is quite dark at night, illuminated by only a single spotlight. Outside the Xixi Wetlands, about a 15–20 minute walk from the hotel, there's a shopping mall and a Sam's Club.

Stepping into the Macau Cathedral, one is immediately enveloped by an aura of solemnity and tranquility. The gray-white stone walls, simple yet imposing, exude a sense of historical depth through their understated lines. The steps leading up to the grand entrance seem to guide one towards a spiritual sanctuary, with each step bringing a sense of clarity to the mind. Inside, the cathedral's spacious and lofty interior features an arched ceiling that draws the eye towards the altar, resembling hands clasped in prayer. Soft light pours through the stained glass windows, casting colorful shadows that dance on the stone walls, as if narrating stories of faith. Every detail is imbued with artistic charm, with wooden pews neatly arranged, awaiting the prayers and reflections of pilgrims. Standing in the plaza outside the cathedral, one's gaze extends beyond the sky, where the silhouette of the bell tower becomes more distinct against the blue backdrop, as if time has stood still. The Macau Cathedral, a convergence of history and faith, not only showcases architectural beauty but also imparts a sense of inner peace and serenity.

After my third visit to Macau, I encountered a torrential downpour. So, I kept taking shelter from the rain at the Na Tcha Temple, the Macau Museum, and the churches. When I stepped into the Cathedral of the Nativity of Our Lady, the storm outside immediately dissipated, and I was enveloped by an atmosphere of tranquility, auspiciousness, brightness, and warmth. 🏛️【Background】 Unexpectedly, Macau, with an area of just over 30 square kilometers, is home to 17 churches. In 1575, the Catholic Church established a diocese in Macau. Hence, Macau is known as the 'City of the Holy Name' and became the center for the spread of Catholicism in the Far East. The cathedral is the main church of the Catholic Diocese of Macau and holds a high status. The church was originally built in 1567 as a small wooden structure. It was rebuilt and expanded in 1849, and again reconstructed in 1937 into a rammed-earth building, which gave it its current appearance. It was listed as a World Heritage Site in 2005. 🌟【Highlight】 The cathedral's light green base tone is complemented by shades of pale yellow, rose pink, and sea blue; stained glass windows, Portuguese wooden screens, and the church exudes a distinct Portuguese Mediterranean style. Interestingly, next to the statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe, there is also a statue of Guanyin. This is perhaps a reflection of the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures. 📍Detailed Address: No. 1 Largo da Sé

The Cathedral of Macau is located at Largo da Sé, also known as the Sé or the Great Temple, with a long history. It was originally built in 1567 as a small wooden structure, which, after years of weathering and erosion, became dilapidated. In 1849, the Catholic community raised funds to rebuild it, and the present-day façade began to take shape. In 1937, the cathedral was rebuilt again with rammed earth construction, which resulted in its current majestic appearance. This site was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in July 2005, becoming the thirty-first World Heritage Site in China. The typical Mediterranean style, stained glass, wooden Portuguese screens, and statues of the Virgin Mary are all valuable cultural relics.

Within the scope of the Historic Centre of Macau, the Cathedral is not the most conspicuous ancient building, but as the hub of Catholicism in Macau and the highest administrative body of the Catholic Church in Macau, it is still worth a visit. External highlights: Ascending from the small sloping alley opposite to the Lou Kau Mansion, you will come across a cobblestone square with a fountain and a cross, which is the forecourt of the Cathedral. The elegant church that stands prominently on the granite pathway is the Cathedral itself, with its tender yellow exterior full of Portuguese flavor. The front of the church is particularly photogenic, and there is also a wishing well nearby. Internal highlights: The interior decoration is simple, with a flat ceiling and high windows on both sides of the walls. The church's most distinctive feature is the artistically colored glass embedded inside and the twin-tower style buildings below. The church once housed many Catholic relics and historical artifacts, and religious masterpieces such as 'The Baptism of Saint John' and 'The Crucifixion of Japanese Catholics in Nagasaki' are also preserved within the Cathedral. Admission: Free. Address: No. 1 Cathedral Square. Opening hours: 7:30-20:00. Nearby attractions: The Historic Centre of Macau, where the Cathedral is located, is a World Heritage Site centered around the old city of Macau. Within a 1-kilometer radius, you can walk to other attractions such as the Holy House of Mercy Building, St. Dominic's Church, Lou Kau Mansion, Jesuit Square, Ruins of St. Paul's, Monte Fort, Macau Museum, Old City Walls, and St. Anthony's Church.

The Church of the Virgin Mary is the same as the other 24 World Heritage sites in Macau - it is also free, as long as visitors are allowed to enter the interior of the church during the opening hours, and only during the opening hours, they can only visit the exterior. The Church of the Virgin is also called the lobby, the cathedral or the big temple, and its history dates back to the early seventeenth century. In the beginning of the church, wood was used as the main building material, and the total area was very small. It was only built in 1623 to become the cathedral of Macao. In the nearly 400 years of history, the Church of the Virgin Mary has witnessed the vicissitudes of Macao and has become an important representative of the blend of Eastern and Western cultures. From the 1623 to the Macau Cathedral to the mid-19th century, the Church of the Virgin Mary became ruined by more than two hundred years of wind and rain. In 1845, the believers donated a large repair to the inside and outside of the church. The Church of the Nativity is dedicated to the compassion of Jesus, St. Joseph and the Mother of God. The church building is part of the historical city of Macau, and it takes about five minutes to walk from here to the surrounding attractions such as the Ruins of St. Paul. The Church of the Virgin is divided into the early part and the late part. The late part refers to the side bell tower, made in the UK, and will ring before the important ceremonies such as Mass and Wedding. The Church of the Virgin Mary used to be the must-see for the Governor of Macao. The existing building was built in 1937 and the art style is rich in Spanish and Portuguese. The atmosphere of the church is elegant and exquisite, and there are many Catholic relics inside.
