A group of users of the mobile app “Instagram”, who are commonly known as “Instagrammers”, are holding a meeting with their pairs (InstaMeet) in the region tomorrow.
As usually happens, “InstaMeets” are occasions that provide opportunities to relate and get connected with other fans of the worldwide Instagram community and to explore different places under one or several topics (for example: to explore Macau specifically through the topic of food or fashion.).
This particular event will be held by the Portuguese Cultural Association “Gerador” with the support of the Macau resident and Instagrammer Ana Morais (@anitados7oficios). The Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) will have the role of providing guided tours of some of UNESCO’s featured heritage sites.
Starting at the Senado Square around 10am, the tour will visit several sites from the Holy House of Mercy building, the D Pedro V Theatre, and Mandarin’s house, the Moorish Barracks and will come to an end at around 1pm at the A-Ma temple.
Several “instagrammers” that have travelled all the way from Portugal and Spain to join the group of Macau resident participants have already confirmed that they will be attending but the good news is, that there are no restrictions on the participants so anyone that would like to participate can simply join the group at the Senado Square on Saturday morning.
The Times spoke with one of the confirmed local presences Felix Januario Vong (@felixjanuario) that said that the weather conditions are one of the concerns for the moment due to the approach of the typhoon “Haima”. According to the forecast by the Macau weather bureau, the typhoon should reach its peak over the territory today.
InstaMeets are becoming an increasingly frequent way for the Instagrammer community to connect, explore and learn more about new areas. They also provide the chance to discover different niches of cities in depth through with the guidance of long term residents.
