The home of the Orient Foundation dates from the 1770s, as the home of Manoel Pereira, a retired Portuguese courtier, then was leased to the English East India Company as a residence for the President of the Select Committee of Supercargoes. It was vacated in 1835, and then sold to the Macau government, and it was the period when its top storey was shaved off. It had been used as the Camões Museum during 1960 to 1988, and now, apart from the home of the Orient Foundation, it is used occasionally used as an art gallery.

Down the Flora Gardens is Memorial House of Dr. Sun Yat Sen. The original building It was built by Sun Mei, the elder brother of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, the founder of the Republic of China, and one of the first European-trained doctors in the Kiang Wu Hospital (There are three statues of Dr. Sun Yat Sen in Macau: one at the door of the hospital, one at the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park, and one at the garden of the house) to Mrs. Lou Mou Chen, the first wife of Dr. Sun Yat Sen. The building was originally built in 1918.There was a house nearby used as a store of explosives. In 13 August, 1930, the warehouse exploded, and the House was seriously damaged. Sun Ke, Sun Yat Sen's son , rebuilt it to today's form. The three-storied house is in mock-Moorish style, showing a collection of photos about the life and career of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, and some objects of Mrs. Sun. It has a reading room providing reading materials about Taiwan.

It is open daily except Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission free.

On the right of Largo de Agostinho is a library. The building was originally a property of Sir Robert Ho Tung, a famous merchant in Hong Kong. Opposite is the Don Pedro V (below). It is a neo-classicism building designed by Pedro Marques in 1858.The portico was added in 1873-79 to the plans of the Baron of Cercal. It is the oldest European theatre in Asia. There is a large hall hung with an elegant chandelier, and the doors are swept by red velvet curtains. The theatre itself is roughly oval with a balcony round the upper part of the auditorium, and is intimate in its proportions. The stage is narrow but rather deep. The feeling of exclusiveness created by its size is emphasized by the plush velvet seats and the general touches of extravagance, such as the cut-glass door handles and chandeliers. It is a superb setting for the occasional play or opera produced in Macau.

The ex-Bela Vista Hotel (the residence for the future Portuguese Consulate) is situated at 10 Rua do Comandador Kou Ho Ning. It was originally the Bom Parto fortress. A villa was built on its remains in 1870 and 1880.In 1890 an English sea captain, William Clarke and his wife Catherine, came on the scene around 1890 and bought it. They named it "Bom Vista" (then "Boa Vista" in 1936) and declared that it was "situated on the sea shore in one of the best and healthiest parts of Macao". In 1909, the hotel was rented to a Frenchman, Auguste Vernon, after the earlier failure of the French consulate in buying the hotel from Clarke by the end of the 19th century because of British's persuasion. Clarke sold it for 80,000 patacas as the tourist trade dwindled when political unrest curtailed the travels of rich expatriates. Albert Walkins bought it but was evicted for illegally operating roulette tables on the premises. It was then converted into a secondary school (in 1917), an academy for Hong Kong government employees (1932), back into a hotel (in the early '40s), headquarters of the British NAAFI Military Club, a refreshment centre (in 1946), and became a hotel again in 1950.It was lastly restored in 1992. On the circular base stands arched door holes. The front is wide with rhythmical windows. This is a typical British building, which is rarely seen in Macau. After the restoration, its original green colour was changed into pale yellow with white edges, which made it more outstanding among the green. The hotel kept the flight of stairs going down, and reused a piece of unused land for recreation.

The pink and white S. Francisco Barracks forms a complex with the Military Club and the Sao Francisco Garden (0.6 hectares, designed by Matias Soares in the 19th century, 2nd from the top) which consists of flower beds between wide paths which lead up to a fine double stone staircase. On the side next to the Club are fountains giving graceful scenes. On the upper level is a round tower built to honour the combatants of the First World War but now converted into Headquarters for the Association for the Handicapped (2nd from the bottom). The garden is a favorite meeting place for students from nearby schools. At the bottom of the garden is an octagon pavilion, which is now used as a public library. In the 1930s (built in 1927) it had been a bar, but in 1948 Ho Yin donated it to the Chinese Merchants' Union. The pavilion was converted into the present appearance (top). The photograph at the bottom is the barracks and the Macau Military Club in a bird eye's view. The Macau Military Club (Clube Militar de Macau) was founded and built in 1870 as a private association for culture and recreation for its members --- army officers or civilians as guest members. The site had been a monastery " Nossa Sra. dos Anjos "built by a French monk. It was extremely elegant and considered one of the finest examples of classical European architecture in the East. Prior to 1975 the club focused on the Portuguese community but since then it has expanded and is now open to all communities in Macau. In 1994 the club was renewed, retaining all the classical structures --- the design was planned to reflect the ambience of the period. The award-winning restaurant of the Club, which provides gourmet cuisine prepared by master-chef from Portugal and wines, is now open to the public. There is an art gallery on the side next to S. Francisco Garden.

Hotel Lisboa was built in 1970, and the 4th Section was finished in 1992.Having about 1,000 rooms is the largest 5-starred hotel in Macau. The main building looks like a birdcage. This unique design arouses folklore saying that it is to keeping customers from "flying out" before spending up all their money. At the Lobby you can see a mosaic illustrating ancient Portuguese ships. At the new wing is a similar building which has an upside down lotus like roof, giving a mysterious oriental colour. The hotel provides a casino, restaurants, a coffee shop, a night club, a swimming pool, bowling lanes, playgrounds for children and the famous Crazy Paris Show.
