Part one:United celebration by Macao residents

The audience will see the images of different local architectures festooned with the national flags amid local streets and lanes projected upon the Ruins of St. Paul’s. The Guia Fortress, one of Macao’s iconic architectures, will come into the spotlight in the end. There will be a ray of dazzling light, symbolizing our Country’s guidance for Macao as the city sets sail for the future.

Raising a decorative archway for National Day celebration is part of Macao’s local colors. By the technique of projection mapping, the show is created to reflect the splendour of a glittering decorative archway and the city’s joyous festive culture. The happiness will be expressed in in the phrase: “Welcome to Macao, join us in celebrating the National Day”, coupled with a golden lotus blossom. The number “20” will also appear to represent the 20^th Anniversary of the Establishment of the Macao Special Administrative Region.

Auspicious red lanterns and auspicious clouds will slowly arise, wishing prosperity and peace for the Country and its people.
