Macau｜Former Site of Yilong Fireworks Factory

The firecracker industry was once one of the three traditional handicraft industries in Macau, but slowly declined in the 1980s. The former site of Yi Lung Firecracker Factory (established in 1925) is the best preserved industrial site in Macau

I heard that in addition to producing firecrackers, the factories also raised pigs and cattle and grew vegetables. They were self-sufficient. This kind of production was quite special

There are still remnants of the days when vegetables were grown, farmed and produced between. Because it had been converted into a warehouse, many of the original windows in the production workshop were bricked up. Abandoned for many years, the big tree has been integrated with the factory, the visiting route is connected by a canyon, which facilitates management and can protect the old site. The old house actually peeled off the exterior walls, collapsed tiles, and large trees grew directly from the roof
