A complete photo guide! 9 must-check-in Portuguese-style colorful houses in Macau!

Macau’s Portuguese-style colorful houses are truly amazing for photos!
Macau is not just about luxury and extravagance; strolling and snapping photos is the real way to go!

📸 Top 3 must-shoot spots
1️⃣ Bella Taipa Yellow House
Macaron yellow exterior walls + green window frames, just like the Macau postcard! You can capture the full view standing at the diagonally opposite coffee shop entrance (best before 10 AM for the softest light)
2️⃣ Feng Tang Slant Alley Colorful District
Mint green + goose yellow + pink orange Portuguese-style buildings, each one looks like an oil painting! The red mailbox at the end of the alley gives a strong time-travel vibe
3️⃣ Yi Wan Slant Alley Seaside S-Curve
The same slope as in "The Palace"! Pink villa + blue sea background, shooting against the light at 4 PM is super dreamy

🍮 Food surprises on Guan Ye Street
✔️ Andrew’s Bakery: The originator of Portuguese egg tarts! The crust sings when you bite it
✔️ Cheung Chau Glutinous Rice Balls: Palm-sized mango filling
✔️ Puppet Portuguese Cuisine: Seafood rice enough for 3 people

🚌 Transportation TIPS
• The Parisian / Venetian → Guan Ye Street: 15-minute walk over the footbridge
• Fisherman’s Wharf → Yi Wan Slant Alley: Taxi about 35 MOP
• Feng Tang Slant Alley → Ruins of St. Paul’s: 8-minute walk, very close

⚠️ Pitfall Prevention Guide
• Be quiet when photographing colorful houses, many are residential
• The stone steps at Mount Fortress are very slippery! Wear non-slip shoes
• Afternoon tea shops are basically sold out after 4 PM

🌤️ OOTD Suggestions
Light-colored dresses + straw bags = Portuguese girl style
Roman sandals warning ⚠️ Stone pavements can be as tough on your feet as hiking boots
