Exploring Mandarin House in Macau

in #worldmappin9 months ago

Hey everyone, first of all I would like to welcome you all to my new contribution and hope you have a day so far which has been full of interesting experiences! In my new post I have decided to share something about an experience I have made in Macau and am happy if you can learn new things.

The Mandarin House was built during the 19th century and after the architect Zheng Wenrui had started with the construction, it was expanded in later times and restored again and again over the decades. The period in which it was built is also considered the time of the Qing dynasty and it was considered an important house in which a well-known poet lived, who influenced many well-known personalities such as Mao Zedong or other legends. The entire complex is extremely large and contains over 50 rooms that can be visited and it has developed into one of the most important buildings of Macao because of the magnificent architecture for a good reason. The house is extremely diverse and in addition to the traditional construction, influences from the west can be seen and the house is open pretty much the whole year and the entrance is even free and what I also found positive is that the visitors can move freely on the large area without there being a big restriction.

The visit lasts about one to two hours and with a little luck even guided tours take place during the visit, but I can't say anything more precise about the times but was told that from time to time which take place but I personally find it better to explore it on my own. Those who should visit the house can also play directly with the idea of visiting other sights that are located in the immediate vicinity such as the old town and I would say that it's worth an absolute recommendation to anyone who is interested in the culture of Macau. The mandarin house is a place full of inspiration and although the climate of the city can be sometimes hectic, some moments of peace can be spent here and since 2005 it is even known as a Unesco World Heritage Site.

Thank you very much for stopping by and I hope you could learn something new and like my post! I captured these pictures with my Sony Alpha 6000 plus 55-210 mm lens.

Sort:  

The entrance is free, and the tour can be guided by a person, but I agree with you, it is better to observe every detail and imagine what happens in these places, for example the table and chairs, how elegant, I imagined several ladies sitting drinking tea and doing crafts, a very glamorous place.

You always find the right words, yes you can try to settle into this situation :)
