Starting today (27 April), Macau Government Tourist Office (MGTO) is presenting the 3D Mapping Show "Icons‧Macau" at Macau Fisherman's Wharf for a period of 15 days, ready to add more variety to the attractions along the walking tour routes "Step Out, Experience Macau's Communities" and to fascinate visitors and citizens with more touching moments. The six-minute 3D Mapping Show "Icons‧Macau" is scheduled to take place for free admission at the Roman Amphitheatre of Macau Fisherman's Wharf every ten minutes from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. daily during 27 April – 11 May. MGTO Director Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes, Macau Legend Development Limited Co-Chairman, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer David Chow Kam Fai, MGTO Deputy Directors Cecilia Tse and Cheng Wai Tong, and Acting Director of Operations of Macau Fisherman's Wharf Kenny Iao officiated the kick-off ceremony of the 3D mapping show. MGTO introduced the first four walking tour routes under the theme "Step Out, Experience Macau's Communities" last September, encouraging visitors to explore the lesser-known quarters in Macau. The new routes are expected to divert visitors off the beaten tourist track as a way to alleviate over-crowdedness in popular districts and boost community tourism in Macau. Since then, MGTO has been striving to discover new elements to add along the tour routes while making great effort to promote the project. Artistic performances are currently available along the four walking tour routes. As for "Icons‧Macau", the 3D mapping show presents high-quality videos by projecting 3D images upon the background of three iconic architectures – the Ruins of St. Paul's, A-Ma Temple and Guia Lighthouse from the World Heritage "Historic Centre of Macau", thus showing audience the diverse scenery and unique charm of Macau as a travel destination. As one of the tourist attractions along the walking tour route "A Tour of Arts and Culture" under the theme "Step Out, Experience Macau's Communities", Macau Fisherman's Wharf is a relatively suitable location for the premiere of the 3D mapping show for testing at current stage. Depending on the feedback of citizens and visitors about the show, MGTO will consider staging the 3D mapping show at different local districts to add the glamour of community tourism and encourage visitors to spend more time in Macau. During the show period, questionnaires will be distributed to gather feedback from audience who will receive a souvenir in return. During the upcoming May 1st labour day holiday, "Icons‧Macau" will be a new choice of entertainment for locals and visitors in town.
