In recent years, Hong Kongers have enjoyed traveling north, and Macau, the first to reopen during the pandemic, has gradually become a popular tourist destination for Hong Kongers. Traveling to Macau can be done in a day trip, and with the opening of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, there are now direct Golden Buses available, making it more convenient and relatively cheaper compared to the previous need to take a fast ferry.

So, apart from casinos, does Macau have other characteristic attractions? This time, we have compiled a comprehensive guide for everyone to understand the geographical locations and famous attractions in Macau at a glance.

Macau Peninsula

The Macau Peninsula has the most attractions, mainly preserving Portuguese colonial historical buildings, among which the most famous Ruins of St. Paul's is also located in this area. Just walking on the streets, you can see ancient Portuguese buildings at every corner, which can be called the historic urban center of Macau. This area also has many traditional old shops and souvenir stores. The Macau Peninsula also has two key areas: Fai Chi Kei and the Border Gate. The Border Gate is the port connecting to the mainland, while Fai Chi Kei is a community full of local life. These two areas have many outstanding small shops, such as Yige Crab Congee, various chicken soup noodle shops, Sushi Auntie, etc., featuring affordable and delicious food. The cooked food market at the Lower Ring Street Market is also a must-visit place for internet celebrities in recent years, with many shops offering famous snacks, among which the red bean cake is the most famous.

In addition to the Ruins of St. Paul's, the Macau Tower, Lover's Lane, A-Ma Temple, and Fisherman's Wharf are all located in this area. It is suitable for tourists who like to experience the local customs and practices of Macau. The local area also retains many dai pai dongs and tea restaurants, whose style and taste are absolutely not inferior to those in Hong Kong.

Especially recommended is the Guia Fortress, one of the World Heritage Sites. Many tourists do not know that they can take the Guia Cable Car for MOP$3 to go up the mountain to see the Guia Fortress. This is one of the oldest lighthouses in China's coastal areas, and from the mountain, you can see the entire cityscape of Macau.
