Lou Lim Ioc Garden
People come to this Suzhou-style garden to relax, practise taichi or play Chinese musical instruments among shady trees, lotus ponds, bamboo groves and a bridge with nine turns (to escape from evil spirits who can only move in straight lines). The Victorian-style Lou Lim Ioc Garden Pavilion was where the Lou family received guests, including Dr Sun Yatsen, and is now used for exhibits and recitals during the Macau International Music Festival in late October/November. Adjacent to the garden is the Macao Tea Culture House, displaying the local tea culture with exhibits of various teapots.

Luís de Camões Garden & Grotto
This relaxing garden is dedicated to the one-eyed poet Luís de Camões (1524–80), who is said to have written part of his epic Os Lusíadas in Macau, though there is little evidence that he ever reached the city. The Sr Wong Ieng Kuan Library is inside the garden.
