trip report by site editor Rick McCharles
I was in Macao only for 2 days, camping at Hac Sa beach. And was pleased to get out for even one hike.
With no guidebook, I headed directly to the A-Ma Statue atop Alto de Coloane (176m). It’s a 20m-high white jade statue of the goddess who gave Macau its name erected in 1998.
I worked my way randomly through two contiguous Parks, the signage and maps quite helpful.
I decided to leave a Summit Stone atop the boulder right … but found I couldn’t scramble it.
In the end, I tossed the Stone up top, a reward for the next bolder boulderer than I. 🙂
The hiking was much better than I expected. Yet uncrowded.
In 3hrs I saw only one other hiker, and one trail runner. It was perfect November weather on a Saturday.
Seems people do not go to Macao for walking, even though it’s next door to the hiking Mecca of Hong Kong.
