Mandarin's House, 19th century residential palace in São Lourenço, Macau.
The Mandarin's House spans 4,000 square meters with more than 60 rooms across two floors, featuring traditional Chinese residential architecture.
Built in 1869 by Zheng Wenrui, the palace served as home to Qing theoretician Zheng Guanying, who wrote influential reform texts there.
The residential complex incorporates Cantonese architectural elements with Portuguese influences, displaying the multicultural character of colonial Macau.
The palace offers guided tours throughout its multiple courtyards, halls, and living spaces, allowing visitors to examine period furniture and decorations.
The mansion housed over 300 tenants during the 1990s before the government acquired it in 2001 and restored it to its original configuration.

Macau captivates with its contrasts. In a single day, you can go from a Portuguese quarter with cobblestone streets to a hidden temple behind a staircase, and then to a futuristic hotel lit up like a film set. The city combines baroque facades, grand casinos, and quiet gardens where a few tai chi practitioners are seen. Between Coloane and Cotai, each district offers a different vibe that attracts travelers looking for striking photos and unique urban scenes. This selection features the most photogenic sites in Macau, from colonial heritage to coastal views.
