Unique Macau Travel Guide: Everything You Need for Eating, Drinking, and Having Fun!

As the domestic COVID-19 situation is under control, people are starting to think about traveling again. International travel is still not realistic, so let's consider domestic destinations! When it comes to domestic travel, Macau is an excellent choice—easy procedures, moderate distance, exotic architecture, and unique global cuisine.

Check out this Macau guide: you can't miss these special attractions and local foods when visiting Macau!

【Attractions】

Apart from the famous Ruins of St. Paul's, A-Ma Temple, and Macau Tower, there are also some unique lesser-known attractions worth visiting.

Coca-Cola Museum

On Guanqian Street near the Ruins of St. Paul's, there are many distinctive buildings perfect for photo ops.

At the back of Guanqian Street, an oversized Coca-Cola glass bottle catches the eye—it's the Coca-Cola Museum run by a Macau collector. This small museum is hidden deep in the backstreet, so most people won't find it easily!

Although small, this Coca-Cola Museum is fully equipped. It displays various styles of Coca-Cola bottles, many with Macau-specific printed elements rarely seen on the market.

Most bottles are for display only, not for sale. You can take photos there, with a whole wall of Coca-Cola displays and a giant polar bear toy—great for posing.

Besides bottles, there are many Coca-Cola-themed souvenirs like pillows, canvas bags, crystal balls, and bear plush toys, all classic gifts perfect for friends.

1854 Lost & Found

If you love vintage retro style, this is a must-visit!

Located at 54 Guanqian Street, 1854 Lost & Found is a vintage building exuding nostalgic charm inside and out. As you step in, you're greeted by all sorts of Victorian-era antiques: gramophones, typewriters, antique furniture, matchboxes... making you feel like you've traveled back in time.

Besides antiques, the shop also offers coffee and vintage clothing. When tired, you can head to the top-floor secret garden—1854 Terrace—for a pleasant afternoon tea. The terrace is a different scene, full of plants and flowers, like an oasis in the old city. Relax, take photos, sip coffee, and enjoy a slow, leisurely time.

Casas-Museu da Taipa

'Long Huan' is the old name for Taipa Island, and 'Pu Yun' refers to its Portuguese architectural style. These five Portuguese-style buildings were originally residences for senior officials and local Portuguese families on the outlying islands, now converted into museums.

Casas-Museu da Taipa is one of Macau's eight scenic spots. Three houses are open to visitors: from west to east, they are 'House of the Macanese', 'House of the Island', and 'House of the Portuguese Regions'. The other two are the 'Exhibition Hall' and 'Guest House'. You can see authentic exhibits, especially furniture, decorations, and ornaments from long-established Macau families.

The House of the Portuguese Regions has two floors, displaying costumes, pictures, and handicrafts from different regions of Portugal, offering insight into Portuguese lifestyle and customs.

The brightly colored facades, unique architecture, and the mangrove wetland in front of the museum allow you to appreciate both classic Portuguese charm and natural beauty.

After all that sightseeing, let's talk about Macau's food. As a 'Gourmet Capital', Macau attracts cuisines from around the world, guaranteeing a feast.

Too many choices? Visit restaurants under Sun Food, where you can taste a variety of delicious options.

SKY 21

This restaurant is like a floating garden in Macau's bustling city, offering 270° stunning views. It serves Pan-Asian and European cuisine with a comprehensive menu—perfect for a gourmet feast.

【Seafood Platter】

Top-grade seafood ingredients, generous portions, and exquisite presentation provide both visual and taste pleasure. Each seafood has its own texture: whole lobster makes a grand entrance, firm and bouncy; oysters are fresh and tender; mussels are thick; shrimp and green-lipped mussels are crisp and sweet. Paired with various sauces, it's a treat for the palate.

【M5 Tomahawk Steak】

Tomahawk Steak represents the axe used by Native Americans, symbolizing power and freedom. It looks like an axe: the rib bone is the handle, and the meat is the ribeye. The tenderness of the meat combined with the unique chewiness near the bone creates an amazing aroma that delights both taste buds and mood.

Tian Chao specializes in modern Chaoshan cuisine, using fresh seafood and sashimi to create classics like Chiu Chow chilled red crab and oyster congee. The restaurant is helmed by a Michelin-starred chef, working with Sun Food's professional spirit to create culinary feasts.

【Tian Chao Roasted Duck】

Tian Chao perfectly presents refined Chinese cuisine. They select Muscovy duck, roast it on a hanging oven, and apply a secret sauce. With precise heat control, the freshly roasted duck has a bright red, glossy skin. Sliced tableside, each piece is evenly thick, with crispy skin and tender meat that's rich but not greasy. Wrap the crispy-skinned, tender duck in a soft pancake with the secret sauce—one bite releases savory juices, leaving a lasting fragrance.

【Chiu Chow Chilled Red Crab】

A signature Chiu Chow 'da leng' dish, the red shell and white meat create a striking contrast. The crab meat is firm, sweet, and refreshing; the crab roe is creamy and aromatic, offering a unique taste.
