I went to Macau
In addition to participating in these events
You still have to go and get a good feel for the following classic check-in places
Go to the iconic building Ruins of St. Paul's to take photos and check in
The official name of the Ruins of St. Paul's is actually the "St. Paul's Cathedral Site", which has a history of more than 350 years and is one of Macau's landmark buildings and a "World Heritage Site". If you are visiting Macau for the first time, you must come here to take a souvenir photo!
Its significance is as if you must go to the Forbidden City when you arrive in Beijing, and it is also the most representative of the "Eight Scenic Spots of Macao".
There are not many attractions in the torii, but the main thing is to observe the remains on the wall, the restoration of the original church building, and the remaining building corners. However, the art museum in the inner square also has a large collection of old oil paintings, so if you are interested, you can also stroll.
I recommend the several streets that crisscross under the Ruins of St. Paul's! It is home to almost all of Macau's classic snacks and delicacies, so it's a foodie's paradise.
Oh, by the way, St. Paul's is also near Macau Battery Hill and Macau Museum. After visiting St. Paul's, you can walk to Battery Hill, and there is also a great place to take photos with the Ruins of St. Paul's on the way up.
Walk around the island and eat in Taipa Village
Coloane is an island in Macau, with excellent natural scenery, beaches, walking paths, colorful houses, characteristic shops... In contrast to the bustling urban atmosphere, it is like a small fishing village that is "independent from the world", and it is always a "quiet and good time" look~
The place is not big, and the road name is grounded enough
If you are a nostalgic person who likes quiet
Just come to Coloane for a walk
Coloane has many colorful streets and small houses, and the casual concave shape is cute. Not only that, but this is also one of the filming locations of the Korean drama "Palace", and the road with the same name as the movie is booming! Several of the more famous attractions - St. Francis' Church, Coloane Library, Tin Hau Temple, and Colorful Residential Buildings are all worth visiting.
Coloane Island has beautiful colorful houses, tourists like to take pictures here, and the jumpy colored houses can brighten up the mood at once. Hanging out in Coloane is a very happy thing~
From Coloane, it is only a 15-minute drive to Taipa. Taipa is also one of the must-see places to visit in Macau. A large number of Portuguese architectural cultures have been preserved here, and the famous food street Guanye Street is located here.
Guanye Street is a small alley about 50 meters long, also known as the must-visit souvenir street. Within just 50 meters, there are all kinds of souvenir shops——
Pork chop buns, water crab porridge, Portuguese egg tarts, Portuguese chicken...
A lot of local food can be eaten here
Experience the sights of ancient Rome at Macau's Fisherman's Wharf
Fisherman's Wharf Theme Park is the first theme park in Macao, China and a shopping mall modeled after Fisherman's Wharf in Europe and America.
There is a high degree of simulation of the ancient Roman Colosseum, many European-style buildings, and restaurants that bring together the tastes of various countries, which is a very big place! If you don't shoot enough, you don't want to go!
The overall Fisherman's Wharf is Italian ancient Roman style, the huge Romanesque building complex and the exhibition center that looks like a Roman gladiatorial arena really give people the illusion of being in ancient Rome.
Walk Love Alley and feel the colorful Macau
Walking down the right side of the Ruins of St. Paul's, there is a small horizontal alley - Love Alley. The buildings on both sides of the alley are full of European style, and walking in the alley is like being in the European stone spring path.
It has a hundred years of history here
It is a popular spot for many couples
The wonderful combination of pink walls and green doors is indeed very girly
The alley is not long, it is still good to take pictures and drop! If you don't have enough time to visit Coloane, it is highly recommended to come here to see the colorful Macau.
For the first visit, the route can be arranged as such
Day1: Coloane Island - Taipa Village
Day2: Ruins of St. Paul's - Love Alley - Mad Hall Alley - Macau Fisherman's Wharf
If you have plenty of time to play
The following places can be optionally included in the itinerary
Start exploring the "World Heritage" from A-Ma Temple
Enter the Maritime Museum to learn about the history of Macao
A-Ma Temple, built along the coast and facing the sea with its back, was founded in 1488 and has a history of more than 500 years, and is one of the three major Zen monasteries in Macao and one of the famous monuments in Macau. In 2005, the Historic Centre of Macau, including the A-Ma Temple Front, was inscribed on the World Heritage List.
A-Ma Temple is located on the mountainside west of A-Ma Mountain and consists of the main hall, Hongren Hall, Guanyin Pavilion, etc. Although the scale of the building is small, the layout is staggered, and it is an ancient building with very Chinese cultural characteristics.
Opposite is the Maritime Museum, the oldest museum in Macau. It exhibits Chinese dragon boats and ancient Portuguese three-masted boats, as well as video introductions to da Gama's journey to India and Zheng He's seven voyages to the West.
Bishop's Hill Chapel enjoys "tranquility in the middle of the city"
Climb to the top to overlook the beautiful scenery of Nanxi Bay and Zhuhai
Bishop's Hill Chapel, also known as Our Lady of the Sea Cliffs, is built on Guia Hill, one of the highest points on the Macau Peninsula. Compared to several other churches in Macau, the church on Bishop Hill is more modern, with the façade retaining the lime color of the building materials and the inner nave being simply decorated.
The church combines modern and Gothic Revival architectural styles and has been rated as a "building of architectural value". The surrounding flowers and paths are secluded, the ancient trees are thick, and the environment is very good.
The location is also good, it can be said to be "condescending", not only overlooking the beautiful scenery of Nanxiwan and Zhuhai, but also overlooking the Macao-Taipai Bridge and the endless blue sea.
Here, for those who want to enjoy the unique style of the small town, it is definitely the best choice!
Macau hides the beautiful churches of Dabo
St. Lao Lenzzo Church and St. Joseph's Monastery are so beautiful!
Located in the heart of Macau's Historic Centre and built in the 16th century, St. Lolenzo Church is one of the three oldest churches in Macau, located not far from A-Ma Temple and St. Joseph's Monastery. The church also offers a view of Nam Van, Macau's most beautiful harbour.
Not far away is the Abbey Church of St. Joseph, an old church with a history of more than 200 years.
Macau Tourism Tower, Senado Square, Guia Lighthouse
Fortress, Rose Hall, Ho Tung Library Building, Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge

Rongji beef miscellaneous is a century-old brand that can be seen everywhere, usually with only one staff member, which can be said to be a super delicious bowl that you can make after eating.
In Macao, you must eat authentic Portuguese dishes, such as Portuguese chicken, stir-fried clams, Majie Hu ball, devil's garlic prawns, Portuguese meat sauce pasta and so on.
