Traversa da Paixão

Travessa da Paixão is a small lane about 50 meters long which located beside one of the most popular tourist spot in Macau, The Ruins of St. Paul. This small little lane looks no different than many other lanes found in Macau island but its specialty lies in its name, Travessa da Paixão. The Portuguese word “Paixão” means passion, love … etc, hence Travessa da Paixão means Love Lane. The buildings on both sides have been painted in pink and yellow which gave a strong tenderness feel.
