This will mark the end of our Hong Kong & Macau posts. I will find some time to upload a HK/Macau makan list at the side bar. Just keep a look out for it.

We stayed at Taipa Village for the final leg of our trip. Unlike Macau Island, Taipa Village still functions on a daily basis, enabling us to experience everyday local life.

We woke up really early in the morning and after freshened up, we were looking for a proper place to cure our hunger pangs. We stumbled upon Cafe Mun Kor, a small, casual off the beaten path cafe where the locals go.

The architecture of these building is amazing which one will see as you stroll along this street.

Welcome to Macau! Macau is comprised of the Macau Peninsula , the islands of Taipa and Coloane and the reclaimed area COTAI. During our previous visit to Macau, we spent one full day in Macau Peninsula and was busy exploring Taipa village on the following day. We took First Ferry from China HK Ferry terminal in TST and boarded onto our hotel shuttle bus once we arrived to Macau Ferry Terminal. Take note that most (big) hotels in Macau provide free shuttle services, so please check with them beforehand.

Getting to Macau

Macau International Airport is located on Taipa Island and is 15 minutes away from the Macau Ferry Terminal and 10 minutes away from the COTAI Frontier Post.

There is a MOP$3.00 surcharge for each piece of luggage carried in the boot; MOP$5.00 surcharge for boarding taxi at the Macau Airport or journeys from Macau to Coloane; no surcharge from Macau to Taipa or from the islands to Macau, but between Taipa and Coloane, a MOP$2.00 surcharge applies.
