AbstractFrom the perspective of cultural heritage protection and sustainable development, the paper combines the conference’s concerns on cultural heritage protection, effective development and environmental improvement to ensure the survival, inheritance and development of heritage and make heritage a truly sustainable social activity. Cultural heritage landscape is a renewal model of urban space, which can form a transition space from cultural landscape to modern urban landscape. The information dissemination, spatial renewal and unique culture brought by cultural heritage landscape help to enrich the use function of urban historical and cultural space, and ultimately promote the conservation and development of cultural heritage and tourism development. Ruins of St. Paul’s is one of Macao’s most iconic tourist attractions. The paper takes Ruins of St. Paul’s as a carrier for research, analyzes the landscape status and restrictive factors in the region, and puts forward the landscape control and landscape reconstruction strategy of Ruins of St. Paul’s, which further drives the protection and sustainable development of Macao’s cultural heritage.KeywordsCultural heritage protectionCultural heritage landscapeRuins of St. Paul’sStyle restoring
