Taipa Village

Taipa House Museum is a stunning remembrance of Macau's colonial past. Built in 1921,  it initially served as a residence for Portuguese government and executive officials. Today, the distinctive white and green buildings have been converted into a museum complex commemorating life during the Portuguese leadership. 

Pak Tai Temple, built in 1844, is dedicated to the Taoist god of the sea. Since fishing was a large part of the Macanese economy, Pak Tai was a very significant deity for them and this temple was a very important part of religious and cultural life. Today, this is one of the most noteworthy temples in Macau, a must-see in Taipa Village. 

Our Lady of Carmo Church is the only Catholic Church in Taipa, located next to the Taipa House Museum. The neoclassical structure and pastel yellow exterior has become a popular backdrop for wedding pictures. The Church is fully operational today, and the lovely views and lake nearby the church grounds offer a way to relax and soak in the local lifestyle. 

Museum of Taipa and Coloane History is located in an early 20th-century building and exhibits relics discovered from archaeological excavations over the past years from Taipa and Coloane. It is a great way to learn more about Taipa and Coloane and their history as separate islands.

Taipa Village Art Space is a gallery that was inaugurated to promote indigenous artists and craft industries, giving space for local and international artists to exhibit their work. The exhibits, like a recent one on Macau's Firecracker Industry, give a peek behind the curtain into the heritage of the area.
