Dr. Carlos d'Assumpção Lookout

　　The Dr. Carlos d’Assumpção Lookout was completed in 1955 and covers an area of approximately 2,181 square meters. It is situated on Avenida Carlos da Maia next to the Chapel of St. Francis Xavier in Taipa. The entire garden is designed in a trapezoidal shape along the slope, with the structures in the park primarily painted in white, red, and light green. In the 1940s and 1950s, the lookout directly bordered the sea, so the flower stands were designed in a wavy shape.

　　According to longtime residents of Taipa, the brick house currently located on the lowest flat ground was actually a toilet built by the seaside. Back then, fish could often be seen swimming in the water below, but it has since lost its function due to land reclamation. The nearby Chapel of St. Francis Xavier and its square also feature strong Portuguese architectural styles and are popular spots for local weddings and tourist photos. This park is directly adjacent to the Taipa Houses–Museum and, during the height of summer, visitors standing at the highest point can enjoy the sight of lotus flowers swaying in the wind across the entire lotus pond—an absolutely delightful view.
