Flower Power in Beijing
A kaleidoscopic flower exhibition in Beijing showcased Macao-themed floral designs, blending lotus motifs (the city’s symbol) with modern art installations. One standout piece? A 25-meter ‘floral Great Wall’ symbolizing unity—proving that #BloomWhereYourePlanted isn’t just a hashtag. 🌺✨

Beyond the festivities, Macao’s cobblestone streets and Baroque churches are gaining traction with Gen Z travelers seeking ‘old-world meets Instagrammable’ vibes.
