1. Try Macau’s famous sweet Yuanyang tea


Before all else, warm yourself up with their famous yuanyang tea. Equivalent to our very own
‘kopi cham’, this tea is made of a mixture of three parts of coffee and seven parts of milk tea.
The name yuanyang, which refers to mandarin ducks, becomes an official symbol of love in
Chinese culture.
2. Be amazed by the distinctive interior of The

Venetian Macau

Step back in time and visit this Venice-themed palatial resort hotel. Besides being the largest
single structure hotel building in Asia, there is so much more to this monument to leisure.

The colourful squares will just make your eyes pop!
(https://d2iq9gqtfwsete.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/2-Venetian-2.jpg?

You can also shop at over 350 retail stores at the Grand Canal Shoppes while admiring the
hotel resort that accentuates the luxury and timeless elegance of Italian architecture. Take a
peaceful gondola ride down the canals of Venice while you’re there and enjoy a sweet
serenade by the gondoliers.
3. Dine at the Michelin-starred Golden Peacock

Restaurant

Once you’re done admiring the artistry of the Venetian Macau, drop by Golden Peacock

Not only it offers an extensive buffet, but it is also a Halal-certified restaurant so it’s definitely
not an excuse for Musliam travellers not to go. Experience the flamboyant dishes and rich
flavours the chef can offer.
Disclaimer: This restaurant serves alcohol, so dine at your discretion.
4. Find the iconic landmark – The Ruins of St

Paul’s

Opal (https://www.flickr.com/photos/marioopal/15059242664/) on Flickr
The Ruins of St. Paul is the most iconic treasure of Macau. The towering facade and stairway
are the only remaining features of the 17th century church. Strong and aesthetically
preserved, this magnificent landmark manifests an exemplar of Macau’s history.

Senado Square is known for its glittering cobblestone walks. Just a few blocks away from 
many other tourist attractions, the site is pretty much the heart of the cultural district of
 Save  Macau.
 Tourists can get the best of both worlds as one can experience the beauty of

modern local lifestyles surrounded by the old buildings.

Senado Square has been a commercial area for many decades, where tourists can visit
numerous shops, restaurants and souvenir stores. Grab a cup of coffee at Starbucks or have
some ice-cream at the Haagen Dazs kiosk.
6. Get a bite of Macau’s favourite Tofu Fa


@leafstyle (https://www.instagram.com/p/BMthEmKAGzE/?taken-at=980721847) on Instagram
Don’t let this interior decor of this shop stop you from entering – it may as well be the home
to Macau’s best Tofu Fa. It definitely exudes that sense of nostalgia as this shop was built in
the 1950s.

@leafstyle (https://www.instagram.com/p/BMthMDvA5Sf/?taken-at=980721847) on Instagram
The menu is simple; soft tofu and soy milk, sweetened or unsweetened flavours. This
famous dessert can be seen anywhere around the city centre, but Muslim foodies are
recommended to visit this tiny gem as it is vegan-friendly.

Toby Oxborrow (https://www.flickr.com/photos/oxborrow/148049777/) on Flickr
Take a break from the old Macau and explore the urbanity of the country. Start with the tenth
highest tower in the world, Macau Tower (https://www.macautower.com.mo/) where you can
enjoy a magnificent view of the peninsula.

Deming131 (https://www.flickr.com/photos/deming0131/6275523104/) on Flickr
If you’re up for some adventure, you can opt the world’s highest bungee jump where it will
take you on a free fall at a speed of up to 200km/h.
8. Step back in time and find yourself at the

historic Fortaleza Do Monte 

Fortaleza Do Monte, or famously known as Mount Fort sits beautifully on the east of St. Paul.
The fort was built in the 1600s to protect the properties of the Jesuits from pirates in Macau.

There is so much more behind the story of the ancient fort. The cannons which they used to
defeat the Dutch can still be seen there today.
Rp549,000 Rp899,000 Rp279,000 Rp349,000 Rp449,000 Rp619,000 Rp549,000
9. Catch the annual cultural parade around the city 

Inacio (https://www.flickr.com/photos/m-inacio/1946353983/) on Flickr
One can agree that in order to enhance your travel experience, cultural immersion is the
best way to go. When you’re in a foreign country, you need to have authentic experiences,
by making connections with the locals and get cultural insights. Macau is no different.
(https://d2iq9gqtfwsete.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/9-Parade-2.jpg?x51608)Credit: Mariana
Inacio (https://www.flickr.com/photos/m-inacio/1947233092/) on Flickr
Catch the annual “Parade through Macau, Latin City” that occurs every December 20th. This
cultural event not only highlights Macao’s handover to China, but it also features
performances in which all talents perform colourful performances in the multicultural
atmosphere.

10. Visit Macau’s very own version of Fisherman’s
 Save 
Wharf

Unlike the one in San Francisco, Macau’s very own Fisherman’s Wharf is the first
entertainment complex in the country where visitors can stay at its hotel, enjoy shopping,
restaurant hopping, and visit its mini theme park. Much like other attractions in Macau, this
site mixes Western and Chinese cultures, old and urban together.

Look out for the 40-meter-high man-made volcano and Greek architecture around the area.
If you’re not up for shopping and theme park, you can always walk around and enjoy the
view. While you’re there, dine at Taste of Indi (http://www.toimacau.com/)a
(http://www.toimacau.com/), a Halal-certified restaurant that serves authentic Indian cuisine.
11. Explore Macau’s oldest temple at A-Ma Temple 

Cecília Mendonça (https://www.flickr.com/photos/sambinha/) on Flickr
Macau is rich with heritage, and now that you’ve seen the Western side of the peninsula, you
should also embrace the East side as well. Jumpstart your trip to the oldest temple in Macau
in the southeast side of the peninsula, A-Ma Temple.
(https://d2iq9gqtfwsete.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/11-Ama-Temple-2.jpg?x51608)Credit:
Henrik Berger Jørgensen (https://www.flickr.com/photos/darkb4dawn/3511798476/) on Flickr
The temple is a perfect destination for silence and a magnificent sight. Comprises of six
main parts, the temple boasts of classic Chinese architectural features, with stone lions
guarding the ancient attraction.
From the culture and adventure to the food and attractions in Macau, the stark uniqueness
can clearly be seen through the community’s peaceful coexistence, and with that, Macau
crystallizes the uniformity of the East and West. Travel to Macau and experience the
highlights of the city of dreams! 

Hi Yazmin! Perhaps you could plan your time according to your general preference.
:) If you prefer trying out the local cuisine, you might want to visit some local
eateries. Alternatively, if you prefer looking at historical monuments, perhaps you
could drop by the Ruins of St Paul's and Fortaleza Do Monte! Hope it helps! :)

Hi Ain, thanks for reaching out! :) We're not too sure about prayer rooms in Macau,
but there is a mosque located at 4 Ramal dos Mouros. It is actually the first and the
only mosque in Macau :) Hope this helps!
