Sir Robert Ho Tung Library, Macau

Sir Robert Ho Tung Library (9 November, 2007)


Sir Robert Ho Tung Library, or Biblioteca Sir Robert Ho Tung, in its expanded form, is the biggest library in Macau. The original structure, located at St Augustine's Square, is inscribed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, for its historical, cultural and architectural values.

The building which houses Sir Robert Ho Tung Library was constructed in 1894 and was originally owned by one Dona Carolina Cunha. It was bought over by Hong Kong businessman Sir Robert Ho Tung in 1918, and used as his private residence between 1941 to 1945. When Sir Robert passed away in 1955, the building was willed to the government to be converted into a public library. The Sir Robert Ho Tung Library was officially opened in 1958.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
