Coloane, Macau

Promenade in Coloane, Macau


Coloane, or Lo Wan in Cantonese, is an island on the southernmost part of Macau. It measures 4km in length, and is separated from the Macau peninsula by the island of Taipa. Lately, land reclamation has merged the islands of Coloane and Taipa into one single island. The new land in between these two islands is called Cotai, an amalgam of Coloane and Taipa, and here, several mega projects are being developed.

Coloane, on the other hand, retains its rural ambience. The north shore of Coloane is occupied by the Macau Deepwater Port. Hac Ba Beach to the east and Cheoc Van Bay to the south of Coloane are popular picnic and swimming beaches. At Baía de Hác Sá is the famous Portuguese restaurant Fernandos. 171-metre Alto de Coloane is the highest point in Macau.

Among the tourist sights on Coloane include a few Chinese temples such as the Tam Kung Temple and Kun Iam Temple, as well as the Chapel of St Francis Xavier. There is also a huge statue of A-Ma, said to be the biggest of this deity in the world.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
