Golden Lotus Square

金蓮花廣場

Public square with a large golden sculpture of a lotus in full bloom to commemorate the handover of Macau from Portugal back to China on 20th December 1999. There is a flag raising ceremony held here at 8AM every morning by the Macau Police. Despite that fact that Macau is now under Chinese sovereignty, the Macau Police continue to perform Portuguese instead of Chinese foot drills.
