Tashi (Portuguese: Tap Siac) is a block in the west of Wangdetang District of Macau Peninsula, which is located in the northern part of Dapaotai Shandong, that is, between Xifen Road, District Huali Street, Gabo Mansion Street, Raleigh Old Road and Stoddard Avenue. There used to be a hill here, named after the granite stones piled up in towers on the hill.

There is also a village at the foot of the mountain where farmers live; At the beginning of 1840s, part of the land in the village was converted into a racecourse, which became the earliest place where horse racing appeared in Macao. From the light years of the Qing dynasty, it was gradually occupied by the Portuguese, and a western-style cemetery was built on the mountain; By the time of Tongzhi, the village had been cut to plan blocks and built stadiums and houses. Since then, the village has officially disappeared. In the middle and late 20th century, it was converted into a private residence and the stadium was rebuilt as a rest square.

Tashi was originally a small hill in the northern part of Shandong province, which was originally called "Jingtou Mountain". The peak is located between Yafengsuyabuji Street, Gaowang Street and General Rodley Street in (1999), bordering Xinqiao, Hongmaoshan, Wangdetangfang and Longtian Village, and belongs to the area outside the old city of Macao.

On the hillside facing Xinqiao in the northwest, there are two tunnels that discharge rainwater and flow to Xinqiao District, which is called "Dankeng Canal". At the foot of the mountain in the southeast direction, near the location of Tashi Square today, there is a small village. There are also many cemeteries on the mountain, which are the ancestral graves of villagers such as Longtian Village nearby. ?

At the top of the well, there are many granites, three of which are huge and naturally stacked together, so they are called "triple stones". Because it looks like a pagoda, it is also called "tower stone"; The village at the foot of the southeast mountain is also called "Zhaxi Village".
