Wear light and easy clothing, bring hat and sunglasses in the summer time
Macau has a subtropical climate, which means it has a very hot and wet summer time.
Our Toyota Noah local driver in Macau, Mr Li, told me that Macau is even hotter and more stifling than Hong Kong as Macau has an over compact city center.
Looking at Macau Inner Harbour from Penha Hill. The Macau old city center is compact and densely populated.
It is better to wear the light and easy clothing with better perspiration function, cotton t-shirt, linen shirt etc.
There are 30 World Heritage sites in Macau!
The most popular and famous heritage sites, e.g. St Paul’s Ruins, Mount Fortress and A-Ma Temple, Senado Square, have not much shade and cover.
Hat is useful in the sunny and hot Macau
Macau actually tries to keep the heritage sites as they are and doesn’t want to build too much new things to damage the sites’ original appearance.

It is better to use the hat and sunglasses to prevent sunburn and protect YOUR eyes.
Sunglasses can protect YOUR eyes in the sunny Macau
Bring windbreaker all the time
When YOU tour Macau in the summer time, YOU can also experience the autumn or even winter time temperature in the casinos.
They shopping malls and gambling halls all have very strong air-conditioning.
That’s why YOU, especially the lady, need to prepare a wind breaker in the summer time in Macau.
Our Toyota Noah local driver, Mr Li, also told me that Macau is colder than Hong Kong in the winter time as Macau has no high mountain and tall buildings to block the strong wind.
Penha Hill is 62.7 m above the sea level only. It is already the third highest hill in Macau Peninsula
A lot of Western travelers, especially gentlemen, think that Macau’s winter won’t be too cold and don’t bring thick jacket.
Macau Outer Harbour from Guia Hill. Guia Hill is the highest hill in Macau Peninsula. It is 90 m above the sea level.
Then the windbreaker can make them feel warmer when they feel cool or even cold in winter in Macau!
Medicine or food for seasickness if YOU need
YOU need to take the high speed ferry, mostly Turbojet, to go back and forth Hong Kong and Macau.
Sometimes the sea is choppy. This makes some travelers feel seasick.
You take the Turbojet ferry to go back and forth Macau.
So YOU may bring some medicine or food for handling seasickness if YOU need.
As a private guide, I have been to Macau many times
Sometimes the rough sea makes me feel sick in the high speed boat.
Then I just drink some water, calm down, close my eyes and try to sleep for awhile.
Mostly I feel better later.
Or YOU may read the passage of cruise critic to know more about how to deal with the seasickness!
