Taipa Houses–Museum

Longhuan Portuguese Rhythm is one of the eight local scenic spots. "Longhuan" is the old name of Taipa. These buildings were completed in 1921. They were the official residences of the officials of the outlying islands and also the residences of some Macanese families. The local authorities rebuilt the complex and used it as a museum to showcase Portuguese architectural features. It takes about 15-20 minutes to walk from the Venetian Resort to Longhuan Portuguese Rhyme. Down the ramp, five mint green Portuguese-style buildings are very conspicuous.
