Iec Long Firecracker Factory
益隆炮竹廠
A heritage industrial site in Taipa that preserves a century-old firecracker factory and its tools, telling the story of Macau's rise and decline as a firecracker-making hub.
Iec Long Firecracker Factory was founded in 1925 and was once one of Macau's largest firecracker factories. It stopped production in the 1980s. After restoration, the compound opened as a cultural heritage site, retaining its drying yard, medicine workshop, workers' dormitories and well. An exhibition introduces Macau's three traditional handicrafts: firecrackers, matches and joss sticks. Trees shade the grounds, and the old factory buildings draped in vines make for very photogenic scenes. Admission is free, and it is open roughly 10:00 to 18:00. Located on Rua Cunha Silveira near Taipa's old town, it is about a 10-minute walk from Rua do Governador Nobre de Carvalho, and can be visited together with Lung Wan Portuguese Heritage.
