A free-admission racing carnival is slated to take place at the Macau New Neighbourhood (MNN) in Hengqin, with the event set to feature a raft of activities, according to a statement yesterday from the local government-owned company Macau Urban Renewal Limited (MUR).
Titled “Celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the Founding of the People’s Republic of China and the 25th Anniversary of the Establishment of the Macao Special Administrative Region – MNN Racing Carnival”, the one-day event is set to be held on November 16, according to the statement.
The carnival features three main activities for its participants: a radio control (RC) racing challenge, a workshop on making landscape art for one’s racing car, and a racing robot STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and maths) classroom, the statement noted.
The statement added that the racing challenge is divided into four age groups: Mini (aged 3 to 6), Junior (aged 7 to 11), Teens (12 to 15) and Public (aged 16 or above)
Moreover, the statement said that racing-themed decorations will be added to the MNN Lotus Square and the residents’ clubhouse. The opportunity to experience a virtual reality (VR) game with limited edition souvenirs is also available, with the statement adding that one only needs to snap photos of the event and post them to “check-in” on designated social media platforms and attain a certain number of likes.
The activities will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the day, and one can sign up for them through the event’s online registration system (which, according to the Chinese-language statement, is either https://reurl.cc/rvmVOE for the RC challenge and https://reurl.cc/Gp9YqD for the other two activities) until 5 p.m. next Tuesday, with a lucky draw to be held if registrants exceed the limit. Those successful will be notified via SMS.
