Explore Macau
A walking guide and history
Todd
Crowell
TRAVEL / ASIA / MACAU
Walking is the best way to get
to know any city, and Macau the former Portuguese colony returned to
China in 1999 is made for walking. Only seven miles square, one can
easily walk from the Border Gate to the A-Ma Temple at the tip of Macau in
a day.
This guidebook describes eight routes around the urban peninsula
and its outlying islands, sufficient to explore and understand this
fascinating old city and its unique blend of European and Asian
architecture, cuisine and cultures.

MEDIA ATTENTION
An invaluable pocket guide that is perfect for the first-time visitor as
well as old hands. South China Morning Post
"Journalist and author Todd Crowell wagers that
visitors to Asia's gambling capital may take an interest in more than
games of chance. Those keen only on the color of money will ignore him.
Others who appreciate historical details and wish to see and understand
the sights should gain from his easily useful new book, Explore Macau."
Cairns Media Magazine
Macau is not a
museum city; it is a living and breathing region with its own survival and
regeneration powers. Todd Crowell does not miss the point. His book gives
meaning to everything the visitor might stroll by. Instead of lamenting
the disappearance of this banyan tree or that coffee-serving cafe, he
proves that what can be seen in Macau is still relevant and interesting,
whether it is 400 years or four months old. Annabel Jackson, author of
Macau on a Plate
