CULTURE
Originally a fishing hamlet located in the south of Taipa island, Taipa Village is now a culturally rich destination that offers an alluring blend of heritage and modernity. In sedate contrast to the glitz of the Cotai casino area, Taipa Village offers an enriching experience that inspires warm nostalgia with its mix of Portuguese and Chinese culture. Taipa Village Destination Ltd aims to inspire locals and tourists alike by promoting and preserving landmark village features such as its pastel-hued villas, colonial churches and Chinese temples. With its cobblestoned alleyways lit by twinkling street lamps winding their way through the distinctive façades of Portuguese-style shops and homes, Taipa Village is an exotic fusion of East and West and Macau’s leading destination for heritage and culture.
