Travel Information
Macau, whose tourism industry is considered one of the most notable in the region, houses the world’s largest hotel and casino and other magnificent tourist attractions.
Attractions
Originally built to defend the border against China, the Guia Fort and Lighthouse is now one of Macau’s favorite tourist destinations because of the breathtaking view of Macau that it offers its visitors. Located on the highest point of Macau, the Guia Fort and Lighthouse can be reached by cable car.
Located in the center of Macau, the Ruinas de Sao Paulo (Ruins of St. Paul) is exactly that—the ruins of a 16th century cathedral. All that is left of the cathedral is the front façade, a result of a typhoon that caused a fire to break. The façade of the ruins displays elaborate sculptures of Catholic saints and various elements from the Portugese culture.
The A-Ma Temple is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Macau. It is a major part of Macau’s history because of its classic Chinese architecture. Visitors can marvel at the Chinese cultural treasures found all over the temple, or simply enjoy a quiet time reading poetry carved into the cliffs.
The Venetian Hotel has become a tourist destination all on its own because of its grand and luxurious architecture. Various events are held here every year such as the Cirque du Soleil, Indian Film Awards and concerts by international artists. Non-guests can enjoy a gondola ride along the Venetian’s canals and shop at a wide variety of boutiques found all over the hotel.
