There are two old camphor trees in the courtyard. The strong branches connect the two buildings together. The lush shade makes the courtyard a good place for tourists to rest. There is a popular "coffee journey" (tea house) on weekends. The courtyard is also a place for outdoor concerts and movie shows.

There is a small house between the two buildings. Fifty years ago, it was a mortuary. At that time, there were not many hospitals in Macao.
