Founded in 1854, this place started as a Catholic girls' school –
The Convent of The Holy Infant Jesus (CHIJ).
There is a special door, "The Gate of Hope". In the historical years, due to poverty, many babies were abandoned here for the Catholic nuns to look after.
Today, it has been converted into an entertainment spot for restaurants, pubs and shops for tourists and locals alike.

	williamcho says: "The Gate of Hope" – These old gates are so meticulous in their craftsmanship with remarkable designs that survive through the ages. Just like wine, the older it gets, the better it looks. Yeh, absolutely cool. Posted 18 months ago. ( permalink )
