Overview

Two Dragons Throat Park, also known as Jardim da Flora or Sir Robert Ho Tung Garden, is a historic public park located at the foot of Guia Hill. It is the only park in Macau's urban area featuring a zoo. The park's name originates from a now-dry spring called 'Fountain of Jealousy,' where water once flowed from the mouths of two stone dragon sculptures.

History & Features

Originally built in 1848 as a garden villa by Padre Vitoriano de Almeida, it later served as the Governor's residence. After an explosion destroyed the villa in 1931, it was purchased and donated to the government by Sir Robert Ho Tung. In the 19th century, it was used as a nursery for plants to beautify the city. The park features a grand tree-lined avenue leading to a small pond and connects via steps to Guia Hill Municipal Park.

New Children's Playground

A new nature-themed adventure playground, located next to the Bishop Jerónimo José da Mata Kindergarten, was completed in 2023. It is open to the public outside of school hours.
