The Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) and Chinese toy company POP MART have joined hands to launch their mega cultural tourism project “POP MART MACAO CITYWALK” on Friday, with POP MART’s popular characters Baby Molly, CRYBABY, DIMOO and LABUBU welcoming everyone visiting the areas of Calçada da Igreja de São Lázaro, Camões Square, St. Augustine’s Square and Vila da Taipa Historical Centre Archway.
Scheduled to run until 21 September, the project aims to attract trendy toy fans from around the world and raise the SAR’s international profile, according to MGTO.
Among the project displays is a seven-metre-high LABUBU installation at the Vila da Taipa Historical Centre Archway in Taipa Village. There is also a four-metre-high DIMOO installation at the St. Augustine’s Square and a two-metre-high “MEGA SPACE MOLLY EGG TART” installation at Senado Square in the city centre.
MGTO Director Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes said at the opening ceremony on Friday that the event “weaved together Macau’s World Heritage, local districts, gastronomic culture and trendy characters in one project”. For more information about the event visit MGTO’s website. – GNM
