Bidau is a district of the East Timorese capital Dili . Today it is divided into the Sucos Acadiru Hun , Bidau Lecidere (both in the administrative office of Nain Feto ) and Bidau Santana (administrative office of Cristo Rei ). "Bidau" means "mangrove land" in Tetum .
history
The mixed Portuguese - Timorese population, the Bidau, was named after the district . Their Portuguese dialect , the Português de Bidau, died out in the 1960s. In addition to the Bidau, the Moradores and the Chinese also had their residential area here, which later became the commercial center of colonial Dili.
The Gruta de Bidau Santana commemorates the Moradores .
In March 2020 there was severe flooding in Dili, which also affected Bidau.
