Coloane, Macau

The small island of Coloane combines Portuguese architectural heritage with Taoist temples and simple fishing lodges. For centuries, the island was a sea salt farm for China; it became a base for pirates after the arrival of the Portuguese. The colorful village centers on the main square, paved in black, white, and yellow cobblestones. Hike one of the 11 trails of varying difficulty, leading through lush greenery and past barbecue pits and reservoirs of blue water, or head down to the waterfront to admire the view of the mainland.
