The Historic Center of Macao is a collection of more than 20 locations that witness the unique assimilation and co-existence of Chinese and Portuguese cultures in Macao. It represents the architectural legacies of the city's cultural heritage, including monuments such as urban squares, streetscapes, churches and temples.

In 2005, the Historic Center of Macao was included on the UNESCO World Heritage List, making it the 31st designated World Heritage site in China. In recent years, a nightly tour was introduced to allow visitors to experience a different feeling in the city.

The tour includes visiting the old Albergue of the Macao Holy House of Mercy, the famous Rosary Church, and the classic Greek Dom Pedro V Theater, which was built in 1860 and became China's first western-style theater, and hosted the Asia premiere of the opera "Madame Butterfly."

Candles and roses in the brick rubble fashioned into the shape of a heart makes this area of the city a popular destination for wedding proposals.Sites like these are spread thought Macao, which help show a warmer side of the city.

The Cultural Affairs Bureau launched the night tour program in 2008, and it has been held every two years. It has been very popular among tourists from around the world.
