This is a preserved colonial era building along Rua do Campo which is mostly Portuguese in style but with subtle Chinese architectural features, something unique and rarely seen outside of Macau. The mansion was built for early 20th century pawn shop tycoon, Kou Ho Neng and did seem to have a bit of a dingy history of being an opium house for a while. Today the building sits behind gates but is kept up and maintained at least from the outside. It always seems to have a fresh coat of paint and looks great, even if not being used for any government or public services or designated for museum or events for residents and tourists to enjoy. As such, you can still only admire the building architecture from the outside. If you take the overpass to cross Rua do Campo just southwest of the mansion, you can stop and have a nice view of the heritage building from a higher vantage point. This adds a nice perspective after having seen the property up close.

This is a colonial era mansion situated along Rua do Campo that was once owned by local pawnshop mogul and businessman Kou Ho Neng in the early 20th century. Unfortunately, this historic property isn't open for public visitations. You can simply view its nice exterior from the outside What you will see is mostly European architecture with subtle Chinese features such as the carved wood screens visible in the windows. The soft yellow exterior is nice to view up close, from across the street as well as from the footbridge that crosses over Rua do Campo around 40 metres to the southwest. This is a nice vantage point for viewing the Kou Ho Neng Mansion.
