A Refuge from the Summer Heat in Macau - the Macau Market Building

We are not the sun lover type of tourists, especially during the summer hot season in Asia. We could only go sightseeing for so long under the scorching sun as we need to find a place to hide for a few hours in the afternoon.

In Macau, we found a good place where we could relax, do some reading and catch up with my travel blogs -  the Macau Market building where we spent an enjoyable afternoon away from the sun.

The Macau Market building  is located  right in the Senado Square of the city. It has four floors of space with each floor dedicated to selling fresh meat/  tofu products, fruits and vegetables to residents in this colorful neighbourhood.

We love seeking out and trying out local food. The Macau Market offers visitors a variety of local street food. The food vendors sell their items at very good prices and the market itself provides a good resting place with ample seating for customers to sit and enjoy their purchased  food. We enjoyed it so much that we went back there to eat the next day.

Exploring the Macau Market building and its various floors, we saw an exhibition on the history of Macau and learned about some of the city's  famous buildings.

On the 4^th floor of the Macau Market Building is where the Activity Site for both the youths and the senior citizens located. We visited the senior room which was divided into 2 areas:

1.         Reading area  - where visitors could enjoy free daily newspaper and the use of free WIFI and computers. I took advantage of this area and caught up with my blog writing!

2.         TV watching and foot massage area with machines provided - I  used one of the machines and enjoyed a 30 minutes free foot massage!

Instead of go go go all the time while on vacation, we were happy we found a place where we could just relax, read and enjoy some downtime. We liked the Activity Site at the Macau Market as it sheltered us from the searing sun for a few hours when we needed it!
