Escadaria Selaron

The Celleron Staircase has 215 steps and is 125 meters long, using more than 2,000 tiles from more than 60 countries around the world. Built between 1990 and 2013, the Celleron Staircase is the work of Chilean-born artist Celleron and is called "My Tribute to the Brazilian people".

In 1990, painter Celeron began renovating the dilapidated steps that ran along the front of his house. The work goes on and on and on, and it never seems to be finished. "This crazy and unique dream will only end on the day I die," Celleron said.

Originally, the tiles used in the work came from various construction sites in Rio and municipal waste on the streets. But in later times, most of the tiles were donated by tourists from all over the world.

Of the more than 2,000 tiles, 300 were hand-painted by Celeron, depicting a pregnant African woman. Celleron did not comment on this, saying only that it was "a personal issue in my past."

On January 10, 2013, Celeron died on the steps.

This is my second time in Rio, my first time on the Cellaron Steps. I saw the pregnant African woman who, like an icon, gave this reality-art place a little more story. If you look closely, there are ceramic tiles from China, which should depict ladies.

Because it is near a shantytown, it is very uncomfortable to take pictures here. The City of God, has her rich and romantic, but also has her lost scars.

Each tile is a small painting, and if there is time and the weather is good, you can look at it carefully for a long time.
Nearby is the Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro, you can see together.

Finally meet you - the legendary Maracana Stadium in Rio

Last month, I finally visited the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, one of the world's most famous football mecca

Since its completion in 1950, the Maracana Stadium has been an iconic venue for Brazilian and world football. It has witnessed numerous classic matches, including the 1950 and 2014 World Cup finals, as well as the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2016 Olympic Games. Here you can see the memorabilia of football legends such as Pele and Zico in person, and it feels like you are on a pilgrimage to football culture.
