Taipa Village, Restaurants, Attractions, Food, Landmarks, Map, Macau
Over the last few years, many new developments have been here to cater to tourists, including adding more shops and restaurants that will tickle any palate. Some of the most famous Portuguese restaurants in town can be found here.
Taipa Village is pedestrian-friendly, so you can make the most out of the sights by exploring on foot. You can easily access many stalls and shops here selling food and other locally-made wares, including souvenirs. However, bicycles are available for hire at the Si Toi shop if you enjoy cycling. Cycling has also become another popular way to discover the side streets and alleys here easily.
You will also find some notable heritage sites, including the Taipa Houses Museum. As one of Macau’s top tourist attractions, the museum’s five unique Portuguese houses are home to various interesting displays. They have also been recognised for their architectural value, and many tourist facilities surround them.
Pak Tai Temple is also highly recommended here; it’s an old temple built to honour the Northern Emperor, Pak Tai. The worship pavilion is usually filled with offerings from locals, though the temple does come alive during cultural festivities, especially the Feast of Pak Tai.
Taipa Village is a gorgeous historic destination that all ages will appreciate.
