Backpacking Macau, China is a great way to see all the wonderful things this city has to offer. With its twin heritage of Portuguese and Chinese, Macau is home to old pirate forts and island hideaways, as well as temples and museums to display its colourful history.
Backpackers and other tourists are drawn to Macau for its rich cultural heritage, but also for its modern attractions such as casinos, film festivals and karaoke.
China is best visited in spring (Mar-Apr) and autumn (Sept-Oct), when although nights are cold, temperatures in the day are comfortable.
There are many places that provide backpackers accommodation in Macau. For those who are on a tight budget, there are some great value Macau hostels dotted around. You may also find some great seasonal rates at hotels.
If you visit Macau during major public holidays you will find accommodation (and almost everything else) becomes dramatically more expensive.
