Travel Macau through the lens of classic Hong Kong dramas—every angle looks cinematic!

Follow the classic TVB drama from 20 years ago, "Moonlight in October," and check in at these Macau filming locations! Two decades later, 🇲🇴 Macau has changed a lot! 🇲🇴 Macau still preserves its classic spots! Come and experience the magical blend of time~ 💫 Recommended check-in route: ✅ Ruins of St. Paul's (Macau Peninsula) A landmark building frequently featured in the drama! Although the surrounding shops have changed a lot, this weathered Baroque façade still impresses. 💟 Classic scene: Manchu riding a scooter down the stairs in front of the Ruins of St. Paul's with Junhao 🚲 ✅ Guia Lighthouse This is an excellent viewpoint overlooking the Macau Peninsula. Below the lighthouse is the Songshan Municipal Park; climbing up the health trail step by step is not tiring! Both elderly and children can easily manage it [ThumbsUp] 💡 The lighthouse interior is temporarily closed 🌈 October 5th Street (Coloane) The pavement still retains the Portuguese cobblestone style, and the old buildings on both sides remain mostly unchanged, with many unique cafes and creative shops added. Recommended to sit at "Fei Wai Coffee," order a signature milk tea, and slowly soak in the drama’s atmosphere. The original Andrew’s Egg Tart shop is also in Coloane. 🚌 Transportation: Take bus 26 or 25 and get off at Coloane Town Station 🏖️ Hac Sa Beach (Coloane) This natural beach in Macau was an important scene in the drama and remains a favorite weekend getaway for locals. The fine black sand and blue sea have not changed at all [StarsEyeUU] ▶ Tips: You can rent a bike 🚲 and ride along the coastal road. The slope is quite steep, so it’s a physical challenge [Victory] This classic Hong Kong drama Macau travel guide lets you experience the charm of two eras in Macau at once~ Every angle of these places looks cinematic!

Exploring Macau with a Dash of Hong Kong Magic 🏰✨ Get ready for a city break that mixes glitzy casinos, old-school charm, and jaw-dropping sunsets! If you’re nearby, Hong Kong is a must-add for your itinerary—seriously, don’t miss the lit-up Disneyland Castle at night for peak photo vibes. Top Spots to Visit in Macau: 1. Ruins of St Paul’s (Largo da Companhia de Jesus, 8 AM–6 PM): Iconic façade and outdoor cultural vibes, perfect for sunrise pics. 2. Senado Square (Central Macau, 24/7): Cobblestones + pastel architecture = Instagram gold. Go early for quieter scenes! 3. Macau Tower (Estrada do Istmo, 10 AM–9 PM): Modern architecture with 360° views—sunset here is next level. 4. A-Ma Temple (Barra Pagoda, 7 AM–6 PM): Experience authentic culture under ancient prayer trees. 5. Cotai Strip (Av. da Nave Desportiva, open daily): Cloudy or sunny, this place dazzles with lights and western-style casino buildings. 6. Taipa Village: Outdoor natural scenery meets trendy cafés. Come hungry! Personal Tips: + If you’re hopping to Hong Kong, budget a night for Disneyland—the castle glows like a movie scene after dark. + Pack for changeable weather; Macau goes from sunny to rainy fast. + Walking is best for old Macau’s nooks. For Cotai and casinos, use the free hotel shuttles. Food to Try: Scan for street egg tarts near Senado Square or dive into African Chicken at Restaurante Litoral in Taipa Village. Transport Hack: TurboJET ferries zip you from Hong Kong to Macau in under an hour—grab tickets on trip.com for easy planning. Don’t forget: Macau runs on the Pataca, but most places accept HKD. Bring a light jacket for breezy nights! #MacauAdventures #HongKongMustVisit #SunsetVibes #TripDotCom #EggTartHunters
