EXPLORE

Macao was called ‘Amacao’ previously in Portuguese, and called ‘Haojing Ao’ in Chinese. Since Portuguese have reached here in 16th Century, for the next five centuries, people from different countries or backgrounds continuously chose to settle in Macao for better lives. Ever after, different cultures brought by these immigrants have also integrated and developed in Macao, becoming the Macao’s unique multicultural context contemporarily. ​

澳門，古稱「濠鏡澳」，自十六世紀葡萄牙人的到來，五個世紀以來，異國他鄉的不同背景的人們源源不斷通過水路或者陸路到此，以尋求新的生活。自此，由這部分移民帶來的不同文化亦在這裡交融與發展，成為如今獨一無二的澳門多元文化。

​

In this context, apart from the dominant Chinese origin culture and Macanese culture in Macao, different immigrant ethnicities, variable languages and mixed religions are also the fragments hidden under the mainstream. Together, these fragments reflect the colorful cultural attractiveness of Macao. Let us “Explore hidden diversities of Macao” together!

在這個背景下，除了占主導的澳門本土的中國文化與土生葡人文化外，不同的移民群體、各式國家的語言與雜糅的宗教信仰卻亦是隱藏在主流之下的不同文化碎片。這些碎片一同折射出澳門多彩的文化魅力，讓我們一同探究這面獨具魅力的「千面濠鏡」吧!
