We started the day with a hearty breakfast at a local coffee shop!
Penha Hill
Towering above colonial villas is Penha Hill. Here you can get an excellent view of the central area of Macau, and when skies are clear, China.
Apart from the Chapel of Our Lady of Penha, there's nothing much here. The garden was infested by dragonflies!
So, after soaking in the morning sun and enjoying the cool breeze, we started our descend down Penha Hill.
It was a long long walk to A-Ma Temple! We made it there after 30 minutes. Phew!Also known as 'Ma Kok Miu' in Chinese, the temple is dedicated to the goddess A-Ma or better known as Tin Hau.
This is an extremely old temple in Macau - the original one was already standing when the Portugese first arrived.
Done with the temple, we headed back to town for lunch first before continuing to Guia Hill. I had noodles with braised chicken. RM12, not bad right?
The foodcourt at New Yaohan was pretty good. Wide selection of food at reasonable prices.Guia Hill
Guia Hill is the highest point on the peninsula, so again views are amazing! Nothing much here as well except for the Chapel of Our Lady of Guia which stood next to the 15m-tall Guia lighthouse. Apparently, this is the oldest lighthouse on the China Coast!
It was way too hot to be outside taking photos! So after a couple of snaps, off we go. We overheard someone saying there's a cable car service down the hill, so we went looking for it.
Turned out, the ride lasted less than a minute. Ha!It was about time to head to the airport to catch our flight home. Has been an exciting three days discovering Macau.
Bye for now!
