The Cultural Affairs Bureau has released today a new edition of the Macao Cultural and Creative Map (CCM Map) to introduce 49 local cultural and creative entities as well as information about Macao’s World Heritage sites, museums, performance venues and among others. The traditional Chinese and English versions are released first, followed by the simplified Chinese and Portuguese versions. The CCM Map will be distributed at 180 locations in Hong Kong and Macao.

The number of “Tour Routes for the Experience of Culture and Creativity” included in the new edition of the CCM Map has increased from four to six, with the Ruins of St. Paul’s and the Senado Square as starting points, including information about local cultural and creative entities, Macao’s World Heritage sites, museums and performance venues with bus routes as reference for residents and tourists. The CCM Map is illustrated by Macao illustrator Chan Wai Lam, taking Macao’s seven parishes as its frame theme in order to elaborate the features of each cultural and creative space, World Heritage sites and performance venues as well as Macao’s festivals and customs. The design of the CCM Map fully manifests the creativity in Macao.

The CCM Map is distributed at all immigration checkpoints, museums, hotels, travel agencies and cultural and creative spaces. For details of the distribution locations, please refer to the Cultural Affairs Bureau website (www.icm.gov.mo) or the Macao Cultural and Creative Industries Website (www.macaucci.com). The CCM Map was first launched by the Cultural Affairs Bureau in 2014. It aims to promote the cultural and creative industries close by the public and to elevate the reputation of the local cultural and creative spaces and local original products.

A CCM Map mobile app has also been released to facilitate public access to information about the local cultural and creative venues. For information about the CCM Map, please call Mr. Wong or Ms. Lau staff members of IC, through tel. no. (853) 2892 4040, during office hours.
