The Municipal Affairs Bureau (IAM) has advanced the second phase of the construction works of the South Shore Waterfront Green Promenade in three zones in an orderly manner according to the plan.
Following the opening of Zone 1 in November last year, Zone 2, an about 17,000-square-metre strip of land situated between Macau Tower and Portas do Entendimento, was officially opened for public use on Thursday.
The leisure activity space, long and narrow in shape, features multiple layers of plants, together with large trees and flowering plants along the way for ornamental purposes, according to IAM.
The main facilities of this zone include a waterfront trail and a cycle track of over 600 metres in length, which are separated and beautified by green belts. Golden shower trees, an ornamental flowering tree species, are planted on both sides along the cycle track. When their flowers bloom, strings of gold flowers hang from the branches, creating an immersive cascade of golden blossoms.
In the current stage, the public can bring their own bicycles to try out the facilities. Upon the completion of the whole South Shore Waterfront Green Promenade project, IAM will further assess the addition of a bicycle rental service along the track.
In addition, the zone open at this time also includes leisurely waterfront steps and a leisure area for the public to sit and relax, while enjoying the scenery of the coast and Sai Van Bridge.
A fishing platform (pictured) is also set up near the approach viaduct of Sai Van Bridge. The existing basketball court, badminton court and fitness facilities are kept, and tables for playing chess and green elements are added to provide the public with a comfortable and leisurely recreational play environment where they can carry out both dynamic and static activities.
Currently, the public can enter Zone 2 of the second phase of the South Shore Waterfront Green Promenade via Portas do Entendimento and the footbridge in Avenida Panorâmica do Lago Sai Van. They can also enter the zone via the zebra crossing after they park their vehicles in the parking area under Sai Van Bridge.
Meanwhile, the construction works of Zone 3 commenced late last year, with the entire construction works of the second phase of the South Shore Waterfront Green Promenade expected to be completed in the first half of 2027. More details can be found via this link.
