Macau, a small city with a long history

Macau is very small, consisting of three islands: the Macau Peninsula, Taipa, and Coloane, but the 'Historic Centre of Macau' is listed in the 'World Heritage List'. There are actually 25 world heritage sites hidden here, centered around the old city area composed of 22 buildings located on the Macau Peninsula and the adjacent 8 squares. The old city area of Macau has a 400-year history of Chinese and Western cultural integration. It is the oldest, largest, most well-preserved, and most concentrated historical city area in China, with Western-style buildings as the main feature, complemented by Chinese-style architecture. Every world cultural heritage site is open to all tourists for free, especially suitable for Citywalk. Let us calm down and measure Macau with our feet, get close to Macau, and appreciate the beauty of architecture and culture left by history. In the streets and alleys, you will meet the most authentic Macau. Recommended route: Morning A-Ma Temple → Marine and Water Bureau Building → Mandarin's House → Lilau Square → St. Lawrence's Church → St. Joseph's Seminary and Church → St. Augustine's Church, Dom Pedro V Theatre and Sir Robert Ho Tung Library → Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau Building → Senado Square → Sam Kai Vui Kun (Kuan Tai Temple) → Holy House of Mercy Building → Macau Cathedral (The Cathedral) → Lou Kau Mansion → St. Dominic's Church Afternoon Ruins of St. Paul's → Monte Forte & Macau Museum → Section of the Old City Walls → Na Tcha Temple → St. Anthony's Church → Senado Square → Orient Foundation → Christian Cemetery → Guia Fortress, Lighthouse → Chapel of Our Lady of Guia To walk through the Historic Centre of Macau in one day, you need to start early in the morning, arrive at Guia Fortress at dusk to watch the sunset, and enjoy the night view of the Grand Lisboa in the evening. Along this route, not only will you capture all the buildings and squares of the World Cultural Heritage Historic Centre of Macau, but you will also experience the most historically charming Macanese atmosphere. 🌟 Hotel front desks usually have a Macau tourist map that marks the locations of the World Heritage sites
