★★★★★a year agoLotus Square nice place to visit and photograph on your macau city tour. The lotus flower in full bloom symbolises the everlasting prosperity of Macau. The lotus flower has its own square and is right next to the Macau Grand Prix Museum. The sculpture was presented by China in 1999 to mark the handover of Macau from Portugal to China.
