There are a handful of history-laden and culturally valued streets in the old downtown of Macao. They used to be lined by shops in the past and turned into a hustle and bustle area. For tourists and locals who wish to have a taste of true antiquity, they can take a walk along these streets and give a decent look at the distinctive old shops to have a clue to the origin and evolution of local grass root culture and the traditions practiced by these shops.
