The Macau City Guides answer what every visitor wonders: where to find a proper pork chop bun and a warm egg tart, how to see the old Portuguese town before the crowds, which mansions and temples cost nothing and how to spend an evening without a casino bill. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip per place, and it opens in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
Lung Wah Tea House
Rua Norte do Mercado de Almirante Lacerda, 3
A dim sum hall unchanged since the 1960s, all worn wooden tables and a long list of teas. Every dish is cooked when you order, so settle in with a pot of aged tea and take your time. From the food guide.
A-Ma Temple
Barra, southern tip of the peninsula
The city’s oldest temple, dating to around 1488 and devoted to the sea goddess behind the name Macau. Pavilions step up the hillside past incense coils and carved rocks; come before 10am for calm. From the things to do guide.
Seac Pai Van Park
Coloane
A large free park with a giant panda pavilion, monkeys, lemurs and birds, plus green hillside paths and a botanic corner. A good break after Coloane Village; give it an hour and a half. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Macau
Day one: the old peninsula from the things to do guide, with St Paul’s early, Monte Fort and the free mansions, noodles from the food guide at lunch and a small wine bar from the nightlife guide to finish. Day two: Taipa Houses and the Taipa Village lanes, then a bus to Coloane for egg tarts, the pandas and Hac Sa Beach with the day trips and family guides. For a rainy or slow day, pick the Science Center, the Grand Prix Museum and the Museum of Art, with dim sum in between.
