If you are starting a new teaching job in Hong Kong, you will need to make a quick trip to Macau to activate your working visa. Basically, you just need to re-enter Hong Kong, and this involves taking a short ferry trip to Macau and back. But hey, why not make a day of it!?
​
Macau is infamously known as the ‘Las Vegas of China’ because gambling is legal, but it was also colonised and administered by the Portuguese up until 1999, so brace yourself for some stunning European architecture too.
Urban Life
-
Taipa- a lovely quaint village that has been extremely well preserved and presents an authentic Macau. It boasts Chinese temples to churches, Portuguese and Macanese restaurants as well as museums. All within walking distance from each other.
Coloane
2. A fishing village located in Southern Macau. A short stroll along the hiking trail from Sea Pai Van Park will take you to a statue of A-Ma but the highlight is the waterfront Chapel of St Francis Xavier.
Hac Sa Beach-
3. Enjoy some time on the largest natural beach in Macau.

Ruins of St. Paul
4. Possibly the most famous attraction in Macau and still bringing many tourists every year. It combines breath taking views and oodles of history. The ruins of the 17th Century church are not to be missed. You can also visit the Museum of Sacred Art, it has exhibitions of religions artworks including paintings, sculptures and statues.
