The Macau Government Tourism Office (MGTO) has announced that a 15-minute firework display will be held next Wednesday, i.e., Christmas Day, with the theme of the 25th Anniversary of Macau’s return to the motherland and the 75th Anniversary of the Founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
Taking place off Macau Tower, the themed firework display, featuring the illustration of the numbers “75” and “25”, a five-pointed star, a Chinese knot, concentric circles and a rainbow bridge symbolising the successful implementation of the “One Country, Two Systems” principle, will be visible from multiple viewing locations including Anim’Arte NAM VAN, Avenida de Sagres (沙格斯大馬路), the area between Kun Iam Ecumenical Centre and Kun Iam Statue Waterfront Leisure Area on Avenida Dr Sun Yat-Sen (孫逸仙大馬路), the waterfront at the Macau Science Centre (MSC), and Avenida do Oceano (海洋大馬路) in Taipa.
An MGTO statement said on Tuesday that the firework display “signifies Macau’s hope and longing, expressing its love for the motherland, wishing for a better future for the country and the Macau Special Administrative Region (MSAR) and, at the same time, offering best wishes and blessings to all local residents and visitors alike”.
Meanwhile, according to the statement, visitors may enter the Macau Grand Prix (MGP) Museum in Zape for free tomorrow in celebration of the anniversary of Macau’s return to the motherland on December 20.
Especially for the holidays (Reunification Day and Winter Solstice), the statement added, museum visitors on December 20 to 23, and 25 and 26 (Christmas Day and Boxing Day), will be able to enjoy a free bus tour around the Guia Circuit by signing up on presentation of their museum admission ticket for the day.
