  • Featuring Portuguese-style architecture and a green environment, the Taipa Houses Museum is the most popular tourist attraction in Taipa.

  • The exterior of Our Lady of Carmo Church, which is above the Taipa Houses Museum and is the only Catholic church in Taipa, has been painted ochre-yellow for a warm, romantic feeling.

  • Opposite Our Lady of Carmo Church is the Taipa Wedding Room of the Civil Registry, where brides and bridegrooms sign their marriage certificates.

  • Walking up the slope from Rua de Cunha, you can arrive at Carmo Hall, a venue in Taipa for holding talks, seminars and cultural and recreational events.

  • This quiet narrow street, shaded by tall trees, is the location of Sam Po Temple and the former Iec Long Fireworks Factory.

  • Strolling along this old town street, you can enjoy an atmosphere recalling Taipa in bygone days.

  • Located on Rua de Cunha, Carmo's Fair is a structure with Roman columns and Chinese roof tiles. It merges east and west in terms of architecture, activities and market fairs.

  • Established in 2006, the Museum of Taipa and Coloane History was transformed from the former building of Island Municipal Council of Taipa. It features a collection from the first Macao-led archaeological excavations, and other precious relics.

  • This Tin Hau Temple, just one block away from the Museum of Taipa and Coloane History, was already present in 1785, and is the oldest temple in Taipa.

  • In former days, most Taipa residents were fishermen, who believed that Pak Tai (the Northern Emperor) could ensure peace and safety, so built this Pak Tai Temple. On the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar each year, local people celebrate the Pak Tai Festival by holding a series of stage performances in front of the temple, to entertain their gods.
