Taipa Houses — Attraction in Taipa

In this holiday, I go someplace in Macau and find the special art picture to finish this assignment. This day makes me very tired, and finally I got two photos. This two photos is not some paintings or sculptures, is two buildings, in your opinion, this two buildings is not any artwork, but in my opinion, this two building is very beautiful and amazing, it attract me to look at them. Some time ago, Macau is Portugal's colonial, so lots of thing in Macau is affected by them, especially building. The first picture is Taipa Houses-Museum, and the second photos is Ruins of St. Paul, this two building is also affected by the Portuguese, the style of them is same, and they are also building, the material of them is same too, but the feeling of them is different, the picture one is shiny green, the color of it makes people feel comfortable, and some warm colors makes me happy. And the second one, the color of it is gray, and this color make people feel upset and let people to recall the sad past, so I think that Ruins of St. Paul is a sad building.

The other houses serve as gift shops and exhibition space. Some of the exhibitions are interesting so do make sure to pass by each of the five houses even if just to duck in for a few minutes.

Overall, about 30 minutes is plenty visit to the Taipa Houses Musuem. I recommend combining the Taipa Houses Museum with the Museum of Taipa and Coloane History on the other side of...

I visited at the end of August, and the weather was extremely hot. We explored the area while moving from the Cotai hotel to Taipa Village, and the "Taipa Houses Museum" was located at the far end. Although there wasn’t much to see, the beautiful mint-green buildings, some small attractions, the wide river, and the chance to buy cute travel items made the visit worthwhile. It’s not a must-visit spot, but if you have time, it’s worth a look. Since it was a weekday with light rain, the place was quiet and there were no other visitors during...
