Cotai - Taipa Island

Taipa Village
During my two nights visit in Macau, I do not have enough time to visit this place which is in my list of places to visit while I visit Macau. Based on lots of good reviews, there are lots of good restaurants around the area and feel the old Macau. From the Macau Tourism website, you can find a guide map for Taipa Village.

Macau Tower
You can take a free shuttle bus that take you to the Macau Tower. The Macau Tower measures 1,109 ft in height. There is an observation deck with 360 degree panoramic view. If you are not afraid of height or would like to challenge yourself of high, there are couple of activities that you can do at the top of the tower: bungee jump, sky-jump, sky-walk, and tower climb. The night view of the tower is amazing at night, two best places to take night pictures: Avenida da Republica road and MGM Macau.

This golden Guan Yin Statue located next to the ocean in Macau Peninsula. You can take a cab to get here or walk from the MGM Macau.
Senado Square & St. Pauls Ruins
In the middle of downtown Macau, you can visit Senado Square and St. Pauls Ruins. This place is very crowded due to its popularity. There are lots of stores and street food from the Senado Square to St. Paul's ruins. While you are visiting the Senado Square, you should try the Portugese egg tart. It is very popular in Macau. Nowadays, there are lots of stores open around Macau and Taipa area.
