Synopsis

The 450-year-old city of Macau - the former Portuguese colony returned to China in 1999 - is made for walking. Only seven miles square, one can easily walk from the Border Gate to the A-Ma Temple in a day. This guide describes nine walks around peninsular Macau and its outlying islands, sufficient to explore and understand this fascinating city and its unique blend of European and Asian architecture, cuisine and culture.

About this title

Review:

Macau is not a museum city; it is a living and breathing region with its own survival and regeneration powers. Todd Crowell does not miss the point. His book gives meaning to everything the visitor might stroll by. Instead of lamenting the disappearance of this banyan tree or that coffee-serving cafe, he proves that what can be seen in Macau is still relevant and interesting, whether it is 400 years or four months old. (Annabel Jackson, author of "Macau on a Plate")

An invaluable pocket guide that is perfect for the first-time visitor as well as old hands. (South China Morning Post)
