About Lilau Square
A small square around the Lilau spring (Largo do Lilau), once the main source of natural spring water in Macau and part of one of the first Portuguese residential quarters. A Portuguese saying holds that whoever drinks from Lilau never forgets Macau. The lanes around it have a Mediterranean feel, and the traditional Chinese compound known as the Mandarin's House stands alongside.
How to get to Lilau Square
Beside the Mandarin's House, about 0.7 km south-west of Senado Square.
