[2025 Macau Attraction] Travel Guide for Our Lady of Sorrows Church (Updated Mar)

Our Lady of Jiu'ao Village is located next to Jiu'ao Village in Coloane, Macau. It was first established in 1885. It consists of the original Jiu'ao Leprosy Hospital, the Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows and other ancillary structures. It is the only remaining and last closed leprosy hospital site in Macau💫 Fr. Caetano Nicosia, a Salesian priest from Italy, came to the village to serve leprosy patients in 1963. Therefore, in 1964, the original Jiu'ao Leprosarium was renamed to its current name, which means the help of the Virgin Mary. Our Lady Village is a big family. The inmates call each other brothers and sisters, help each other and build their home together💫 In the 1980s, with the advancement of medicine, leprosy became a curable disease, resulting in a decrease in the number of patients. After recovery, many patients continued to stay in the village until they passed away. In 1992, the Social Welfare Bureau converted the female patient dormitory in the Notre Dame Village into the Jiu Ao Nursing Home to accommodate the recovered elderly, and the Jiu Ao Notre Dame Village ended its medical care mission💫 As no one lived in the village, the buildings were vacant and fell into disrepair until 2013, when the Cultural Affairs Bureau took over the restoration. Later, at the end of 2021, the former leprosy hospital, the former site of the recreation room and the Chapel of Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows were rated as cultural relics💫 📍Address: Coloane Catholic Church, Macau #MacauWeekendTrip #Overseas Travel #Weekend Travel

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 My husband and I came to the mint green church on the outskirts of Coloane. When the sunlight penetrated the colorful glass windows, hidden love spots appeared on the ground. A "Love Gospel Workshop" will be held on Saturday afternoon, where you can make your own clay mandarin duck cups. It is recommended to combine the "Fourteen Stations of the Via Dolorosa" hiking route for couples, and receive a monk's blessing card at the terminal. 📍Address: Notre Dame Village, Jiu'ao 🚖 Taxi is more convenient | 📿 Please keep quiet inside the church

When I went to Macau before, I only thought about visiting different casinos🎲🎰 I never thought about visiting the "Jiu'ao Our Lady of Sorrows Chapel" I always feel like this place is so far away... I took the 21A bus for a long time along the mountain road around the seaside🚌 Arrive at the Jiu'ao Oil Depot Terminal and walk to the Our Lady of Sorrows Chapel⛪️ Our Lady of Sorrows Chapel is a unique chapel built in 1966 Although not listed as a cultural heritage site But it is a representative of the modern architectural style of the 20th century Exuding a unique charm😍😍 The bronze statue of Jesus crucified outside the church It is definitely a work of art that cannot be missed, and there is a touching story behind it🥹🥹 You can also walk along a path behind the church to Jiu'ao Lighthouse for sightseeing🗼🗼 This place is so quiet that it seems like a forgotten corner. It is truly the end of Macau. There seems to be no sound at the end of Macau, only the sea breeze blowing from the other side of the mountain🌬️🌬️ Here you can not only take photos and check in, but also learn about the historical stories of the past It is a good and special attraction experience to visit Macau 😎👍🏻 ———————————— 🌇Address: Our Lady Village, Coloane, Macau ⏰Time: 09:00-17:00 every day/closed on Wednesday 🚌Transportation: Take bus 21A to Jiu'ao Oil Depot and walk to the destination #tourism #travel #touristattractions #travelguide #globaltravel #100waystotravel #travelinspiration #traveltips #travelplaces #travelexperts #cooltravelexperiences #macautourism #macautravel #macauplaces #overseastravel #overseastravel #goodplacesforparents #solotravel #macautrip

| Coloane Ka Ho Village, a secret place to see the sea with colorful houses. Macau Offbeat| Coloane Ka Ho Village, a secret place to see the sea with colorful houses. 😜 The leprosy hospital that once scared countless people has transformed into a secret check-in spot. Before the reclamation and construction of the Huan Shan Road, it seemed like an isolated island, which could only be reached by ferry and then a small sampan. In 1963, Father Hu Zi Yi renamed this place as "Ka Ho Village" to eliminate people's discrimination against leprosy. 👉 Ka Ho Village is the only remaining site of a leprosy hospital in Macau. The brick houses have been renovated and revitalized, where you can take photos and learn about the historical stories of the past. It officially opened in early November 2021 after renovation, so hurry up and go before too many people know about it! 🙆 Dressing Suggestions Ka Ho is very colorful, with a creamy color. If you wear light-colored clothes, you will be overshadowed by the buildings, so you must be more vibrant than the buildings. I chose a colorful sweater jacket with a simple black and white lining. ✌️ Practical Information 🎫Ticket: Free admission ⛳Address: Coloane Ka Ho Village, Macau Opening hours: 10:30-17:00, closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Tour time: 1-1.5 hours 🚃Transportation: Get off at the "Ka Ho Rehabilitation Hospital" station on bus 21A Warm Tips 1 Don't make loud noises, there is a rehabilitation hospital nearby, some patients will walk around the village, be careful not to take pictures of them 2 The only bus arrives at 6 pm at the latest, if you are not driving, it is best to leave before dusk, after all, the road is very dark and remote 3 There are many mosquitoes in the suburbs, I wore shorts and got several big bites! 4 The place to see the sea is very windy, pay attention to keep warm and do not climb over the protective net to the rocks outside, it is very dangerous! Do not go on rainy days, the rocks are slippery and there are many electric nets!

Jiuao is located in the southeast of Coloane, Macau. It is a quiet corner. Take bus 21A and pass by Hac Sa Beach, Coloane Hai Tian Resort Hotel (formerly Westin Hotel), Jiuao Village, and get off at Jiuao Oil Depot. There are many oil tankers parked at the alighting site, and you can also see airplanes taking off and landing in the distance, but it is sparsely populated. At the bus stop next to the Jiu'ao oil depot, walk about 100 meters in the direction of the return bus. There is a slope next to the road that goes straight up to the Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows, the old church, and five small houses of the former leprosy hospital. The architecture here is very Portuguese. The church has a triangular roof and the four corners of the windows are dark green. However, you can only take photos of the exterior of the church as it is not open to tourists. After talking to the security guard, I learned that mass is only held in this church on special holidays. There are also sculptures of the Virgin Mary or statues around the Chapel of Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows. One of the statues of the Virgin Mary has a base made of stacked oyster shells, which is quite unique. There is a room at the old site of the hospital that displays the furnishings of the former ward. There are chairs placed on the terrace of the cottage. Sitting on the terrace and watching the sunset is very picturesque. The old hospital site is open until 6pm every day except Wednesday. If you come on a weekend, you can also take photos around it. There are fewer tourists here and it is very quiet. Friends who are interested in photography can take pictures as they like without being disturbed by tourists.

Macau 🇲🇴 Jiuao Village of Our Lady | Unlike the hustle and bustle of the Macau city area, Jiuao Village of Our Lady is like a hidden world, and few tourists know about it. The village is not large in size, but the colors of the buildings here are very distinctive. Coloane Village of Our Lady of Ká-Hó, located on the southeast side of Coloane Island, the southernmost part of Macau, was built in 1885. It consists of five small houses of the leprosarium, a church, and a chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows. The chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows in Ká-Hó is a subsidiary chapel of the leprosarium. To be honest, looking at these distinctive and brightly colored buildings in front of us, who would have thought that this was once the site of a leprosarium.
