What You Can’t Miss in Macao
Macao Tower AJ Hackett Bungee Jump
The Macao Tower, 338 meters tall, is the world’s 10th highest tower, with a variety of activities, one of which is the bungee jump. The AJ Hackett Macao Tower Bungee Jump is 233 meters high, making it a Guinness World Record as the highest commercial bungee jump in the world. If you are not daring enough to jump that height, you can try the skywalk on the 57th floor-it’s still remarkable.
Enjoy a Portuguese Egg Tart
The dessert is different from the traditional Cantonese egg tart. One of the visible differences is the slightly burned caramel (黄油奶糖) top. Together with the creamy filling and flaky pastry crust it creates an incredible taste. Among all bakeries selling Portuguese egg tarts, the most popular is Lord Stow’s Bakery in Coloane. Gradually, the bakery has become a fixed tourist spot in Macao, where the queue outside will never be empty.
Selfie at the Ruins of St. Paul

The ruins consist of the St. Paul’s College and the Church of St. Paul, built in 1583.However,after three intense fires in 1595,1601 and 1835, the church was seriously damaged. Miraculously, after cycles of rebuilding and fires, the huge facade (正面) and the front stairway remain unburned.
