The Cultural Affairs Bureau has released today a new edition of the Macao Cultural and Creative Map (CCM Map) aimed at introducing 56 local cultural and creative entities as well as information about Macao’s World Heritage sites, museums, performance venues, among others. The traditional Chinese and English versions are released first, followed by the simplified Chinese and Portuguese versions. The CCM Map will be distributed at 180 locations in Hong Kong and Macao.
The new CCM Map provides information about cultural and creative entities, Macao’s World Heritage sites, museums and performance venues. Besides, the six “Tour Routes for the Experience of Culture and Creativity” are included in the new edition of the CCM Map, with the Ruins of St. Paul’s and the Senado Square as starting points. Residents and tourists may take it as a reference for their travels. The CCM Map is illustrated by Macao illustrator Chan Wai Lam, taking Macao’s seven parishes as its frame theme in order to elaborate the features of each cultural and creative space, World Heritage sites and performance venues as well as Macao’s festivals and customs. The design of the CCM Map fully manifests the creativity in Macao.
Local cultural and creative spaces who wish to be included in the next edition of the CCM Map can register in the Database for Cultural and Creative Industries. IC will select eligible cultural and creative spaces for inclusion in the CCM Map based on designated criteria.
