[2025 Macau Attraction] Travel Guide for St Anthony's Church Macau (Updated Jul)

| Local experiences and practical tips. Just back from Macau! I've compiled a travel guide that combines local characteristics with practical information, sharing real experiences and useful tips: I. Local Food Experiences 1. Classic Snack Shops * Macau's long-established egg waffle shop (Ze Xian Ji): I recommend the original egg waffles, rich in egg and milk flavor. The chocolate flavor is a bit sweet, so choose according to your preference. The average cost is about MOP 25. * Traditional noodle shop (Pak Lok Mun): I recommend the double sauce (curry + beef brisket) thick noodle set meal with iced lemon tea to cut through the richness. It's best to dine during off-peak hours to avoid long queues. 2. Souvenir Selection * Well-known souvenir chain (Koi Kei Bakery): You can try the almond cookies before buying them. The ones with whole almonds are crispy. I recommend comparing offers at different branches, as some offer discounts during certain periods. II. Accommodation Reference Airport Hotel Review: I chose the Hotel Golden Dragon primarily for work reasons. The soundproofing is good (airport noise is not noticeable). Basic rooms are about CNY 500/night. You need to prepare your Entry-Exit Permit for Hong Kong and Macau in advance. There are few dining options nearby, so plan your meals ahead of time. III. Transportation Analysis 1. Free Shuttle Bus: Hotels offer shuttle buses to and from ports of entry. I recommend taking these first. 2. Public Bus System: MOP 6/trip. Download the "DSAT" app to check real-time bus arrivals. 3. Taxis: Regular taxis start at MOP 19. You may need to call a taxi (+MOP 5 service fee) for remote areas like Hengqin. 4. Walking Recommendation: The attractions in the historic city center are concentrated. It's more convenient to walk in comfortable shoes. IV. Practical Tools to Prepare 1. Electronic Payment: Alipay/WeChat covers 90% of transactions. Prepare a small amount of cash. 2. Data Package: I recommend purchasing an overseas data package through your carrier's official app (e.g., China Mobile users can choose the "UPLAN" daily package). 3. Food Delivery Service: You need a Macau mobile phone number to register for local lifestyle platforms. V. Entry and Exit Information 1. Length of Stay: Tourist visas allow a maximum stay of 7 days (calculated from the day after entry). 2. Port of Entry Selection: * 24-hour customs clearance: Hengqin Port, Qingmao Port * For late-night arrivals in Macau, Hengqin is recommended for higher customs clearance efficiency. 3. Required Documents: Keep your Entry-Exit Permit for Hong Kong and Macau and entry slip safe (recommend making a copy on your phone). VI. Tips for Civilized Travel 1. Smoking is completely prohibited in public places (including e-cigarettes), with fines of up to MOP 1,500. 2. Yield to pedestrians at pedestrian crossings. Jaywalking may result in a MOP 300 fine. 3. Sort your trash. Littering in scenic areas can result in fines of up to MOP 600. VII. Recommended Cultural Experiences 1. World Heritage Route: Ruins of St. Paul's → St. Dominic's Church → Senado Square → Guia Fortress, experience Portuguese architecture. 2. Unique Experiences: Taipa Houses-Museum (closed on Tuesdays), colorful houses in Coloane Fishing Village. 3. Portuguese Cuisine Recommendations: Try Bacalhau balls, African Chicken, and other specialties. The average cost is MOP 150-300. Compliance Statement 1. All business information is based on personal consumption experience and does not involve commercial cooperation. 2. Price data is as of December 2023. It is recommended to double-check before traveling. 3. Transportation policies refer to the latest announcements from the Macao SAR Government. 4.

#June travel support fund Macau has a lot of cultural heritage sites, and the most representative one is St. Paul's Cathedral! If you see it in person, the three-dimensional beauty is 10 times more...! But there were really a lot of people... ㅋㅋㅋ It was crowded while taking pictures And I went to the jerky and cookie shop right next to St. Paul's Cathedral to try them. Macau is famous for egg tarts!! They are really, really delicious. My trip to Macau by ferry from Hong Kong was happy. It was a small but charming city. I got a little motion sickness on the ferry.

#ChinaTravelMoment St. Anthony's Cathedral, filled with the quaint atmosphere of Macau, is beautiful even from the outside, but its true charm can only be felt when you go inside. Many people just look at the exterior and pass by, but when you open the door and go inside, a completely different world unfolds. The interior of the cathedral had a quiet and solemn atmosphere, and an exhibition was being held. Inside, there were old tombs and relics, and exhibits that gave a glimpse into Macau's religious history. The lighting and space layout were also very carefully decorated, so it felt like a museum! In particular, the tomb ruins section created an overwhelming atmosphere, and it felt like you could feel the breath of the people of that era. It was a time when I could feel the history and culture of Macau more deeply by walking slowly inside the cathedral. It is a place where you can feel the emotion you feel with your own eyes more than in photos, so be sure to go in! #St.Anthony'sCathedral #MacauCathedral #MacauHistoryExploration #ArtifactExhibition #MacauReligiousHeritage #MacauCathedralTour #HiddenSpot #InsideCathedral #HistoryExhibition #MacauTravelTips

The taste is good, the soup is thick, and the beef brisket and tendon are soft and tender. 🚶🏻‍♀️Digest food after eating. Then we walked to "Fulong Xin Street", an ancient street with hundreds of years of history. It was once a "place of fireworks" from the late Qing Dynasty to the beginning of the last century. The upper half of the street was brothels and teahouses, and the lower half was opium dens and restaurants. It was a prosperous place with singing and dancing every night and bright lights. Together with the nearby Furongli and Yian Street, it is known as the "Three Streets of Flower Kingdom". There are still many two-story buildings from the late Qing Dynasty here, with red buildings and blue bricks, but after renovation, the doors and windows are painted green.

Walking from Fulongxin Street to "October 5th Street", this is a street with strong Chinese and Western cultural characteristics, and the buildings on both sides are colorful. There is also the historic Kang Zhenjun Temple on this street; the Hong Kong drama "Moonlight on the Fifth of October" and the last episode of the Korean drama "Palace" were filmed here. 🌟Went to a restaurant run by an authentic Thai ("Hao Kong Restaurant", it is recommended to call ahead to make reservations. Many locals come to eat here, and you often have to wait in line; if you don't want to wait, you can call to inquire or arrive in advance before business starts. It is usually closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, and sometimes it is hard to predict, so it is best to call to confirm before going). Dinner dishes: marinated raw shrimp, sizzling oyster eggs, minced meat lettuce wraps, shrimp pancakes, seafood Tom Yum Goong soup, sour papaya sea bass, and coconut are all very famous and delicious 😋 Finally, after eating, slowly walk to the Fortune Bus boarding point next to the Emperor Hotel to take the bus back to City of Dreams, and then walk to the Londoner Hotel for about 10 minutes. On the third day, we returned and had dim sum at Tim Ho Wan in the Londoner Hotel for breakfast. There was also a queue here. If you are lucky, you won't have to wait if you arrive early...

#MacauAttractions Passing through the alleys of Macau's old town, St. Anthony's Church is quietly hidden among the green shades, like a contemplative elder, whispering the history and stories of the past. This church is one of the oldest Catholic churches in Macau. Since its establishment in the 16th century, it has witnessed the vicissitudes and prosperity of this land. The exterior walls of the church are mainly off-white, and the simple design reveals a sense of history. The stone steps in front of the door are a bit worn, but it is these traces that tell us that countless believers have prayed silently here. Walking into the hall, although the space is not spacious, it is filled with a sense of tranquility and solemnity. The wooden benches and simple altar decorations exude a classic elegance in a low-key manner. What is most touching is the statue of St. Anthony on the altar, with a kind face and hands slightly spread out, as if welcoming every heart seeking comfort. Outside the window, the green shadows of the trees interweave with the sunlight, adding a quiet beauty to the church. Here, I feel that the flow of time is so gentle that it makes people want to stay longer and savor the quiet time where history and faith are intertwined.
