Taipa, Residential district in Macau, China
Taipa extends across 7.9 square kilometers between Macau Peninsula and Coloane island, featuring two prominent hills in its central area.
The region transformed from two separate islands into a unified landmass through natural siltation processes and deliberate land reclamation efforts over time.
The Taipa Houses Museum displays five restored colonial residences from the 1920s, presenting furniture and objects from Portuguese-Macanese families.
Three bridges connect Taipa to Macau Peninsula, while the Light Rail Transit system provides transportation between the airport and various districts.
Taipa maintains its position as an educational center with multiple schools and hosts the Macau University of Science and Technology campus.

Macau captivates with its contrasts. In a single day, you can go from a Portuguese quarter with cobblestone streets to a hidden temple behind a staircase, and then to a futuristic hotel lit up like a film set. The city combines baroque facades, grand casinos, and quiet gardens where a few tai chi practitioners are seen. Between Coloane and Cotai, each district offers a different vibe that attracts travelers looking for striking photos and unique urban scenes. This selection features the most photogenic sites in Macau, from colonial heritage to coastal views.
