Village of Taipa
Contains several interesting old temples, Chinese shop houses
and Portuguese colonial style offices. Nearby is the Macau
Jockey Club and track. There is a "food street",
formed by a group of small to medium sized restaurants serving
Chinese, Portuguese and Macanese foods. They are crowded at
lunchtimes and evenings with local residents, and at weekends
with knowledgeable Hong Kong visitors.
Four Faces Buddha Shrine
There are two Four Faces Buddha in Macau: one at the end of
the car park of the Macau Jockey Club on Taipa Island; and
the other at the International Centre close to the wharf which
is a very interesting monument in an ornate Thai Style.
Town of Coloane
Contains a chapel dedicated to St. Francis Xavier, Tam Kung
Temple, and several temples dedicated to the Goddess of the
Sea Tin Hau. Close by are two beaches and the very old Hac
Sa village where archaeologists have uncovered finds dating
back some 3000 years.
Coloane Fitness Circuit
A series of interconnecting trails have been established in
the wooded hills of Coloane, where hikers can enjoy fresh
air, a vast range of tropical flora and splendid views of
the South China Sea. For those who want more strenuous exercise
there is a fitness circuit set out with parallel bars, rope
climbing and other exercise equipment. The circuit begins
at the stan of the Coloane Trail, next to the Seac Pai Wan
Park.
