A Municipal Affairs Bureau initiative aims to replace many of the trees damaged in recent years by disease and severe weather.

Construction of MOP 235 million tunnel took two years; route from Avenida de Horta e Costa to ZAPE cut to 400 metres.
Tunnel – 400 metres long and augmented by lifts and a moving walkway – will connect ZAPE and Avenida de Horta e Costa and could be the first of many in Macao.
Revamped facility has been planted with flowers and includes slides and climbing frames, as well as shaded areas, energy saving lights and water dispensers.
Marine Bureau chief Susana Wong Soi Man signals first step on the road back to normal travel; also warns Macao water consumption too high.
Due to open by autumn 2022, the tunnel – which will include lifts and a moving walkway – will halve the journey between ZAPE and Flora Garden.
A new thematic website called “Old and Valuable Trees of Macao” has been launched by the Municipal Affairs Bureau (IAM) with the aim of ensuring their protection by the public and raising awareness of their existence.
A government project to build a tunnel for pedestrians under the hill connecting Zape and the Avenida de Horta e Costa neighbourhood got off the ground early this month.
The Land, Public Works and Transport Bureau (DSSOPT) received a total of ten bids in the public tender for the design and construction of the Guia Hill pedestrian tunnel.
