The majestic former Senate building is currently home to the Municipal Council and is often regarded as Macau’s greatest example of Portuguese colonial architecture.

Fortaleza do Monte

For many years, Fortaleza do Monte was the focal point of Portugal’s military presence in this part of China, eventually serving as the governor’s mansion until 1749. The Mount Fortress Garden, with its beautiful moat-like pond and flower beds, is worth seeing, as is the Moorish-style Manso Evocativa de Sun Yat-Sen, a mansion created in honor of Sun Yat-Sen, the first Chinese Republic’s founder. Sun Yat-Sen Park, with its lovely gardens, Victorian greenhouse, and aviary, is another linked attraction.

Giant Panda Pavilion

The Giant Panda Pavilion sits on Cotai, it is a little out of the way, but this means that crowds are usually light. It’s also one of the top family-friendly activities in Macau.

Several enormous pandas, adorable red pandas, and a variety of monkeys may be found in the wildlife pavilion.

Exhibits depicting the evolution of nautical and meteorological instruments and several dioramas depicting significant events in the city’s maritime history are also of interest.

Guia Fortress

The Guia Fortress is a green oasis in the heart of Macao, just a short walk from the high-speed ferry terminal. Hiking pathways or a brief cable car trip are the only ways to get there. At the top, you’ll find historic cannons, a small chapel with well-preserved murals from the 1600s, a 91-meter-high lighthouse, and stunning views of Macau. Go underground and explore the public-access tunnels in the fortress; some are near the lighthouse, and others are near the cable car entrance. Exhibits and images depicting the area’s military history can be found throughout the stronghold.

Time required: 2 to 3 hours.

Kun Iam: The Temple of the Goddess of Mercy

The current Kun Iam Temple, dedicated to the goddess of mercy, was built in 1627, while allusions to a temple on the site date back to the Yuan dynasty of the 13th and 14th centuries. Three Buddha images depict the Past, Present, and Future in the entrance hall, while a figure of the goddess of mercy is flanked on either side by nine Buddhas in another hall. A vast Chinese garden surrounds the temple, with its Tree of the Loving Couples, where young lovers pray for good fortune in their future lives. Lin Fong Miu Temple, a Taoist shrine erected in 1592 that has long acted as a staging location for pilgrims to China, is also worth visiting.
