- Rua da Felicidade: A famous old street adjacent to Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro.
- 'Two Lakes and One Tower' (Nam Van Lake, Sai Van Lake, and Macau Tower).
An additional Christmas-themed art installation was created for the festive season.
Materials & Scale
- All four artworks used canned Coca-Cola as the primary creative material.
- The installations were composed of over 3,300 sets of 8-can Coca-Cola beverage packs.
Additional Offerings
Beyond the art exhibition, Macau Tower also offered a series of new Christmas and New Year dining and entertainment ideas.
