The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Macau Special Administrative Region (MSAR) Garrison opened its barracks in Taipa to the public yesterday.
This is the 17th time that the barracks have been opened to the public since 2005, promoting communication between the garrison and local residents.
After a national flag-raising ceremony in the morning, soldiers of the garrison staged military exercises, including combat and anti-terrorist operations, as well as theatrical performances.
The visitors could try out military equipment and talk with soldiers.
The two-day event ends today.
Applauded by residents, the PLA entered Macau through the Barrier Gate checkpoint on December 20, 1999, when the MSAR was established.
