    This member of the Historic Centre of Macau World Heritage collection originally served as a place of residence, first for Dona Carolina Cunha, for whom the building was originally constructed back in 1894 and then for the Sir Robert Ho Tung, a Hong Kong businessman for which the building takes its present name. Sir Robert Ho purchased the property in 1918 and used it as a summer residence until the outbreak of WWII, which saw him relocate here from Hong Kong between 1941 and 1945. Upon his death in 1955, he passed the building onto the Macau Government to be used as a public library. You can visit this attraction, which has a beautiful front courtyard setting with lawn chairs for resting. Walking through the library entrance into the back courtyard, you will find a bit of a rustic garden of sorts that is very peaceful and inviting. A sufficient area is set aside with tables and chairs and there are bathroom facilities as well as public self-service lockers, which are available to locals who are using the upstairs library facilities. While we haven't tried them, it seems that visitors should be able to use these lockers as well. Of interest, during our recent visit, we discovered a very strong wifi signal and fast access speed using the free Wifi Go internet service provided by the Macau Government at certain hot spots around the city. Overall, Sir Robert Ho Tung only take 5-10 minutes to visit the ground level and probably best serves as a relaxing and peaceful place to rest your feet if you've been touring many of the World Heritage attractions all day. The library is open 10.00am to 7.00pm Monday to Saturday and 11.00am to 7.00 on Sunday but we've found it closed on National Holidays.

    잠깐 조용한 분위기에서 쉬어가기에 좋습니다. 오픈된 화장실도 있고 정원도 깔끔해요

    何東圖書館(葡萄牙語:Biblioteca Sir Robert Ho Tung),是位於澳門特別行政區崗頂前地的公共圖書館。何東圖書館為集歷史、文化和建築藝術於一體的園林式圖書館,建築物於2005年作為澳門歷史城區的部分被列入世界文化遺產名錄內。 歐陸風韻的建築樓高三層,前部有拱廊,是典型的花園式豪華住宅。該館藏其中有:劉承幹嘉業堂的明朝嘉靖年間的中國文史典籍藏書16種、天主教文獻、廣方言館書稿和《翁方綱纂四庫提要稿》等珍貴古籍。 建築物建於1894年(清光緒二十年)以前,原為官也夫人(D.Carolina Cunha)所擁有。其後被香港富紳何東爵士於1918年購入用作別墅。何東爵士1956年4月26日病逝,其後人遵照遺囑把位於崗頂前地三號的故居贈與澳門政府,並捐贈25,000港元購置中文圖書,建立一所收藏中文書籍的公共圖書館。 何東圖書館於1958年正式對外開放。1989年何東圖書館重修後,地下為中文書庫和報刊室;二樓為古籍藏書樓、澳門資料室及辦公室;三樓為多功能廳。2006年,後花園側的新大樓投入服務。結合新舊兩幢大樓,全館成了兼具藏書樓和現代化圖書館功能的人文閱讀空間。

    ロバート・ホー・トン図書館はマカオ最大の図書館です。聖オーガスティン教会の近くにあるレモンイエローの建物です。元々はポルトガル人のドナ・キャロリーナ・クンハと言う方の住居で、その後香港の大富豪ロバート・ホー・トンが別荘として使っていました。彼の死後、図書館として利用されることになり現在の形に至ります。私が行った時、図書館で本を読んでいる人はまばらですが居ました。きちんと分類されていて本を探しやすかったです。

    何東圖書館本來是香港富豪何東爵士的住所,他過世就將住所捐出當公共圖書館使用,是罕見的豪宅圖書館現已成為澳門最大圖書館。這裡也被列為世界重要建築遺產之一,很值得來逛逛。
