General Ye Ting's Former Residence — Attraction in Santo António

General Ye Ting's Former Residence (free entry) is a historical attraction that was restored between 2006 and 2014 and opened to the public here in Macau last year. You can find this attraction on Rua do Almirante Costa Cabral north of the Lou Lim Ieok Garden. Opening Hours are 10am to 6pm daily (closed on Wednesdays)

General Ye Ting was an important historical figure who helped spearhead and lead the Chinese People's Liberation Army during the first half of the 20th century. He lived in Macau for a short time and his family stayed at this residence from the late 1920s until the early 1940s.

The former residence building is a two story property. Upon entry, there is a television programme with information about General Ye Ting, his life and time spent at this residence. Unfortunately the program is in Chinese with Portuguese subtitles only as you will also find with most items displayed within the building.

For English speakers, there is a touch screen panel in the first room upon entering the building, which you can use to look up information about General Ye Ting and this residence. There is a second programme upstairs which is Chinese with English captions. This will be more helpful if you can't read Portuguese.

Both floors include rooms which are furnished with original pieces from the time General Ye Ting lived here. You can examine the antique furniture closely and take pictures. We particularly enjoyed the downstairs common room and the upstairs bedroom and office space. There are many original early 20th century family photos on the walls of the house. These are a nice touch and interesting to view.

In front of General Ye Ting's Former Residence there is a bronze sculpture of General Ye Ting seated with his wife standing next to him while his two children are playing. This is neat to have a look at as well before or after visiting.

Unfortunately, this particular attraction is somewhat out of the way and a bit difficult to visit if you don't know your way around Macau. It is located a few minutes walk north of the Lou Lim Ieok Gardens for anyone interested. You can conveniently view all in...

葉挺將軍是中國人民解放軍的創建人之一和傑出的軍事家，澳門是其故居的所在地。為表揚其在中國近代史上的偉大貢獻，特區政府自2006年起對葉挺將軍故居進行了多次修復、豎立雕像及設置展覽，並於2014年5月28日正式對外開放。

「葉挺將軍故居」是一座樓高兩層的西式住宅，連屋前花園，地段總面積約一百八十平方米。故居內保存了多件原故居的大型傢具及家居擺設，展示了多幅葉挺將軍與家人在澳門的生活照片。葉挺將軍與家人在此渡過七年安逸而愉快的生活，是葉挺將軍在澳門生活的重要見證。

葉挺將軍故居位於賈伯樂提督街76號，始建的年份大約在1920年，為葉挺一家在1932年至1942年間在澳居所。其9名子女中，有7個都出生於此，童年也大都在此度過，所以葉挺一家與澳門結下了不解之緣。

1942年，葉挺家人離開澳門。1950年代初，故居先後用於一些愛國社團開展活動的場所。今天，為緬懷葉挺將軍的豐功偉績，在澳門特區政府的主導下，澳門文化局完成了故居的修繕工作，更換了破損變形的木樑構件和出現開裂現象的屋頂瓦脊，並且解決了牆體嚴重滲漏的問題，保證建築的結構安全；同期，開展相關的展品蒐集與研究工作，將故居闢為“葉挺將軍故居”並於2014年5月正式對外開放。

葉挺將軍故居是一座樓高兩層的西式住宅，建築面積約180平方米，由兩部份組成，前園與兩層高的西式建築物，前園與主建築呈“日”字形，其中前園的平面呈正方形，為露天空間，其設計元素包括圍牆樣式、窗花、植被、魚池、榕樹等等。建築外觀的特點是閘門不在中軸線上，而稍微偏西南，建築正門亦稍偏西南，與前園閘門約處於同一軸線上；一樓設有騎樓，與立面同寬，正立面和側立面上分別設有四組，共十六只門或窗(百葉窗)，講究平衡對稱，山牆及女兒牆都飾有幾何圖案。現時故居地面層展廳設有前言廳和客飯廳，主要是還原葉挺一家的家居佈局為展示主題；一樓主要陳列葉挺將軍事蹟、家庭生活和故居故事三個主題展室，重現葉挺將軍與家人在故居的生活面貌。這些陳列品為後人留住珍貴回憶，有助推廣鄉土教育和愛國主義教育。...
