From March 17 to 25 is the 31st Macau Green Week festival (in Portuguese: Festival de Semana Verde de Macau). The opening ceremony took place at Tap Seac square this afternoon with lots of people attended. This is the annual carnival in Macau organized by Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau to promote the environmental protection, nature preservation, and tree planting. The theme for this year is “Green City, Ideal Home”. There were public displays of flower bed and plants, some performances, and booths of various indoor gardening shops.

Many of various indoor plants were also distributed to the visitors for free. There was a very long queue of people waiting to get the plants. At first I had no idea why people queued and I just spent my time around photographing. But after a while I happened to know that there was free plant giving. So I joined the line, and fortunately I was among the almost last group who got the plant.

I got a cute small pot with several unknown tiny plants.. This is another great little moment of my weekend. Tree planting and indoor gardening are among my favorite hobbies as I love nature.. I love trees.. and greeneries.
