Macau's Taipa Island

If you want a taste of Portugal or Europe in Asia, look no futher. Macau's Taipa Island is here!
All areas feature remnants of Portuguese influence: ruins galore! Not only that. Their old Taipa village is still existing. You can walk around feeling you're being transported in the past.
Also, try the local cuisine. Even the beer. Everything has a tinge of Europe. Even their architecture. Don't forget to pass by the little temples and museums. Lots of museums!
Although you might have a little difficulty. Most people there don't speak English. So remember to bring a guidebook. But this island is quiet. It's a haven for city dwellers.
