next to the canal that forms Macau's border with China,
Sun Yat-sen Park is the largest and newest garden in Macau.
Covering an area of 7,000 square meters (70 ares), this
park is divided into the southwest and northeast parts.
The northeast part, containing artificial lakes, small
bridges, pavilions and towers, follows the
traditional Chinese architecture style and the southwest
part features unique western architecture style with a
greenhouse and some sports facilities inside.
Besides, there are also some recreation places such as
children's playground, pelota courts and multi-purpose
sports fields in the center of the park. Near the entrance,
there is a building in classical Chinese style, which
contains a cafe hall, exhibition hall and library. Outside
the gate is a statue of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, who led the revolution
in 1911 and worked in Macau in the 1890s.
