Macau's Coloane | Discover the secluded romance of a fishing village.

Dear friends 🥰, I stumbled upon Coloane, the southernmost part of Macau—a place where the soul finds peace. Driving an hour from Macau Peninsula, I left behind the glitz and glamour to step into the tranquil world of Coloane. Here, there are no luxurious casinos, only the simple charm of everyday life. Wandering through its streets feels like stepping into a timeless painting. Without following any travel guides, I unexpectedly discovered a free animal specimen museum—both surprising and a little eerie. The alleys of Coloane are filled with colorful houses and graffiti, retaining their authentic charm without the deliberate setups of social media hotspots. The colonial vibes from the Southern European era linger everywhere. As the birthplace of Portuguese egg tarts, the air seems to carry a sweet aroma. Street names like October Fifth Street and Shipyard Square are enchanting in themselves. Compared to Hong Kong's islands like Cheung Chau and Tai O, Coloane has its own unique allure. It’s not overly grounded but instead carries a dreamy and vibrant touch. Tired of the hustle and bustle of city life, Coloane’s tranquility feels like a remedy. Here, time slows down, and I rediscovered a long-lost sense of serenity. If you visit Macau, you must come to Coloane to experience its unparalleled peaceful beauty!
