Old quiet Macau in 1955 澳门

Macau and Taipa (two major islands of Macau) when it was still quiet and peaceful.

Note the perfect matching mediterranean style background music when Macau was a like a mimic of a typical small Portugal port in 1950s. (Today, you have to see the remnants in the old town area of Macau.)  

In between, voices of people on the streets were retained as intact at the moment of being sound recorded when the music was silence. That allowed sounds of history to travel across the space of time to enable the viewers to vividly feel as if we are 'on the spot' or the people from the scenes had been brought back to life again.

Looking from behind the ruins of St. Paul Church is the modern skyline of Macau. Looming large at the horizon is the Grand Lisboa.
