The Macau Peninsula is the oldest section of Macau. A section of it is today inscribed by Unesco as a World Heritage Site. There are plenty of narrow streets in the Macau peninsula. They often lead to beautiful churches that have been carefully restored.
The Macau Peninsula is one of the most densely populated places in the world. The old apartment blocks, some looking rather squalid, jostle for space with newer high-rise condominiums. On the whole, they look similar to many places in Hong Kong. The population are predominantly Cantonese, and it is the main language that you hear in the streets.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
