CHINA TOWN & PORT LOUIS CENTRAL MARKET

Mauritius’ capital, Port Louis, is home to the Central Market which is located in an area that is known for its number of different local markets and government offices. It is located in a prime location in the center of the city, just steps from the harbor, the central bank, and the National Assembly. The streets in the city are paved with stone walls that date back to the Victorian era, some of which were built in 1839. As a result of the growing number of customers, builders added several stalls as well as a covered food court to accommodate them.

In Port Louis, there is a popular area called Chinese Town that stretches for about 500 meters along with a well-known street named Rue Royale. It is regarded as one of the most valuable cultural heritages of Mauritius. Chinese cuisine is one of the most famous things about this area, as it offers a wide variety of delicious street food. Mauritians often enjoy dishes that are a specialty of Chinese culture such as fried noodles, dumplings, chop suey, and Pekin ducks.

The Botanical Garden of Mauritius was first established nearly 300 years ago as a private garden by the French governor of Mauritius. It has since become a national botanical garden.

CAP MALHEUREUX RED CHURCH

Among the most famous churches in Mauritius is the Notre Dame Auxiliary Chapel. This is a Roman Catholic church with a bright red roof set against a turquoise blue sea and blue sky. In the small fishing village of Cap Malheureux, ten minutes from Grand Bay is the red-roofed church. Due to the numerous ships that have been wrecked there in the past, it translates to “Unfortunate/Unhappy Cape”. Notre Dame Auxiliary Chapel is known for its red roofs, which attract many viewers and make for a gorgeous backdrop for a decent photo. Built in 1938, this chapel was dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It offers stunning views of the five northern islands, including Gunner’s Quoin (Coin de Mire) and the northernmost point of Mauritius.
