😜 The leprosy hospital that once scared countless people has transformed into a secret check-in spot. Before the reclamation and construction of the Huan Shan Road, it seemed like an isolated island, which could only be reached by ferry and then a small sampan. In 1963, Father Hu Zi Yi renamed this place as "Ka Ho Village" to eliminate people's discrimination against leprosy.
👉 Ka Ho Village is the only remaining site of a leprosy hospital in Macau. The brick houses have been renovated and revitalized, where you can take photos and learn about the historical stories of the past. It officially opened in early November 2021 after renovation, so hurry up and go before too many people know about it!
🙆 Dressing Suggestions
Ka Ho is very colorful, with a creamy color. If you wear light-colored clothes, you will be overshadowed by the buildings, so you must be more vibrant than the buildings. I chose a colorful sweater jacket with a simple black and white lining.

Warm Tips
1 Don't make loud noises, there is a rehabilitation hospital nearby, some patients will walk around the village, be careful not to take pictures of them
2 The only bus arrives at 6 pm at the latest, if you are not driving, it is best to leave before dusk, after all, the road is very dark and remote
3 There are many mosquitoes in the suburbs, I wore shorts and got several big bites! 4 The place to see the sea is very windy, pay attention to keep warm and do not climb over the protective net to the rocks outside, it is very dangerous! Do not go on rainy days, the rocks are slippery and there are many electric nets!
I stopped by while passing by.
There is nothing to see nearby, but it is a place I stopped by while passing by. Macau also has many good places to walk, so I was a good place to travel.
Hakka Village facing Jiu'ao Bay
From Ama La Maechi, take the 21 A bus to the end point of Jiu'ao Oil Depot in about 40 minutes. This area is the outskirts of Coloane Island, which has only an oil tank and a cement factory. Until a while ago, it was really a place suitable for an isolated island on land. There are several mausoleums and shops in the village, but they have not been turned into tourist destinations. Because of such circumstances, you can see dogs that are free to replace guard dogs, so you should be careful because there is a sense of tension that strangers wander around the private house too much.
It was a dead end for nothing.
I went with a friend living in Macau. I went to the downtown area enough, so I wanted to go to a quiet cold village, but there was only an oil base at the end of the bus, there was no toilet or dining room, and the end was the beach. I saw Macau Airport on the other side. After a short walk, there was a church when I went up the hill, and when I went up and down, there was a place where I could see the tip of the runway at Macau Airport, and I could see the aircraft taking off and landing from there. Nothing cold in a bustling city like Macau ...
There's no neon, no skyscrapers, and it's a different Macau.
The cityscape, which is a mixture of Western and Eastern cultures in Macau, is very mysterious and attractive. After visiting the World Heritage Site, I took bus number 15 to "Ku'ao Village" on Coloane Island. There were no shining neon lights or skyscrapers in the old and quiet cityscape, and private houses, small schools and cement factories were scattered. What I was interested in was the stone monument engraved with the "Ishigaki" of the customs introduced in China, and the pillar on the left was engraved with the wish that the country was safe or the people were safe. ...
