The Our Lady of Hope Beach (Praia De Nossa Senhora da Esperança) is one of the most underrated scenic parks in Macau.
If you are looking for a quiet spot to get away from it all while enjoying peace and nature without travelling too far, this destination is perfect.

The recent addition of a boardwalk makes it easy to explore the area on foot; you may want to bring a picnic mat or a portable chair when you locate a spot you like to soak up the views and fresh air. Other animals here include turtles, frogs, songbirds, and fish in the wetland.
The best time to visit Our Lady of Hope Beach is during the annual Lotus Festival that takes place in June. This is when countless lotus plants are in full bloom within the reservoir; it is truly an amazing sight to behold as the red, pink, and white flowers cover the lake’s surface. However, remember that these flowers, as well as all the nature in the park, are only to be admired from a distance. Visitors must avoid picking them or feeding the animals.
For more sightseeing in the area, head to the Miradouro Da Colina Da Taipa Grande or the Grand Taipa Viewing Platform. Situated between the Jardim do Lago and the Taipa Houses, this lift is a picturesque way to get around while soaking up some incredible views. From the top, you can see the Cotai Strip, so it would be ideal to visit in the late afternoons or early evenings to witness the glimmering lights.
The Our Lady of Hope Beach and the nearby attractions have lots to experience for travellers.
