Front ground of hilltop

Most of the high-rise buildings on both sides are old residential buildings, which give people a sense of "vicissitudes". The high roof is covered by the thick green branches and leaves of the sky vegetation. The sun is shining leisurely in the cracks of the leaves. The long and narrow inclined lane is very quiet, and there are few pedestrians. On both sides are Western-style green street lamps. On the shoulders of the street lamps are fragrant subtropical plants, and the peach petals are hanging Slightly trembling, like the flower scarves of girls on the streets of Paris, charming

If you pay a little attention in Macao, you will find that the building materials and decorative coatings used in famous buildings are very exquisite, especially in the color matching, which often gives people a surprise!

The pavement of Qiandi is paved with Portuguese colored stones, which are transported from Portugal to Macao by sea. The main tone is yellow, gray, green and so on. The stones are inlaid into exquisite wavy and sunflower patterns. It is a combination of ornamental and decorative features, which is very pleasing to the eye!

The facade of Hedong library and St. Austin's church is dominated by yellow, while the facade of hilltop theatre and St. Joseph's monastery are dominated by green. Against the background of dark green doors and windows and red sloping roof, the facade looks clear, majestic, towering and elegant! So that each building in the overall atmosphere with yellow as the main tone, not only harmonious, but also highlight the personality. What is different from the facade is the side facade of the Gangding theater. The nine Roman arched dark green large shutters along the lane not only highlight the effect of the main roof, but also show the dignified and generous bearing of an Italian style building.
