What to wear in different seasons here?
Cotton or light clothing is recommended for the summer. Woolen clothing and a topcoat may be required for the winter. Sweaters and jackets are sometimes necessary for the cooler evenings from March to May and September to November.
Shopping precautions
Be wary of strangers offering to sell items at unusually cheap prices. These people often loiter in the entrance halls of hotels and around the airport/seaport.
-
If a taxi driver offers unsolicited information about restaurants or stores, it's usually best to stick to your original plan as the driver may be seeking a longer cab fare or commission from the business.
-
Confirm the price and currency before paying. Normally prices are in Macau patacas (MOP). However, Hong Kong dollars and Chinese yuan are often used as well. For higher priced goods, consider the exchange rate if using the latter two currencies.
-
It's safest to shop in stores displaying signs that read 'Certified Shop' and 'Consumer Arbitration Centre.'If you want to purchase gold or jewelry, we recommend you go to jewelry stores displaying 'Standard Gold Guarantees,' which means you'll be paying for the quality you expect. Also, these stores are members of the Consumer Arbitration Centre, so if you have any disputes you can ask the center for assistance.
Where are some good places for souvenirs?
Souvenirs are a must for travelers! In addition to stores in the scenic spots, we recommend going to museum stores. Often the quality of the items there is much higher. The type of item depends on the theme of the museum. For example, you'll find racing gifts at the Grand Prix Museum including books and videos on Formula 3, model race cars, stationary, and mugs. At the Maritime Museum, you'll find model ships and other seafaring items.
For exquisite Chinese handiworks, we recommend the Cultural Club at Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro. The shop is beautifully arranged and the pieces are ideal souvenirs. The shop is also known for its fine collection of teas and tea accessories.

Is Macau a safe place?
Macau is relatively a very safe place. However, one should be careful of pickpockets. There are police stations and reporting centers throughout the territory. For emergency, dial 999.
Health in Macau - endemic diseases and hospitals
Since Macau's climate is mild, there are no endemic diseases. International Inoculation Certificates are normally not required unless cholera has been detected in either Hong Kong or Macau or in the area recently visited by the visitor.
There are two hospitals in Macau with a total of 984 beds. Health centers are also available with seven in Macau, one in Taipa Island, and one in Coloane. All four and five star hotels have in-house medical facilities
How's the Telecommunication in Macau?
Macau's local and international telecommunications services are of the highest international standard, using the latest digital technology operated by private companies. IDD calls are available to 219 countries. International fax, telex, telegraph, data, Internet access, and satellite TV services are available. Local and international private circuits may be leased for voice or data transmission. Local calls from private telephones are free.
Is tap water there drinkable?
Macau's water supply is pumped directly from China and is purified with chlorine for extra protection. Tap water is safe for drinking while distilled drinking water is supplied in all hotel rooms and restaurants.
Macau Hazards
1) Pollution
Construction work is everywhere in Macau nowadays, with new casinos, hotels and apartment blocks, filling the air with dust. The floor is frequently coated with a layer of dust. Some people are wearing face masks.
2) Noise
It is almost impossible to find a quiet spot in Macau, except maybe parts of Coloane island.
You can actually feel the floor shaking due to construction work around my apartment. [It is also disturbing to see large cracks along the pavement caused by the ground sinking more than 30cm in some parts. This and many parts of Macau are on reclaimed land.]
At night, the pubs below my block sometimes attracts unruly people who quarrel and curse each other loudly. There are also car drivers who sound their horn persistently in the dead of the night because some idiot parked right in front of them, preventing them from leaving.
It did not help to have a police station just a few blocks away.
There is also an annual event called the Grand Prix, which is a great attraction or frustration depending on if you are a tourist or resident. During this multi-day event held in November, we can expect massive traffic jams to descend all over Macau.
Although the bus services are all free during the event, it is scant comfort for the waiting, confusion (of bus route changes) and loud screeching sounds of the race cars.
3) Mosquitoes
They are everywhere, except during winter time. I find at least 3 in my apartment daily. It is quite a chore to hunt them down every night before I sleep so that I feel less itchy.
How many people are there in Macau and what language do they speak?
There is a total population of 469,800 in Macau of which 95% are Chinese, the remaining 5% being Portuguese and other westerners. The majority resides on the Macau Peninsular. Both Chinese and Portuguese are the official languages in Macau. Cantonese is popular among residents and most people can understand Mandarin. English is also widely used on most occasions, especially in tourist areas.
Is tipping required in Macau?
Although most hotels and restaurant will add a 10% service charge to bills, it is still customary to tip for meals. A 5% government tax is also charged on these bills
This course hosts the Macau Open, a popular stop on the Asian PGA Tour, so you can be assured that the design, playing conditions and golf experience are top notch. After an enjoyable round of golf, Macau vacationers will appreciate the camaraderie found at the Club's 19th hole, the Members Bar.
