Luís de Camões Garden and Grotto
One of the largest gardens in Macau, the land used to be owned by the British East India Company and was bought over by a Portuguese merchant who then willed it to the Macau government to be turned into a public garden when he died. The garden was dedicated to master Lusitan poet Luís de Camões. The gardens are popular with tai chi and aerobics groups and also people who bring their birds in cages to be shown off. The main attraction of the park is the Camões Grotto, where the one-eyed poet once lived with his Chinese bride in the late 16th century. Inside, there's a bronze bust of him.

Old Protestant Cemetery
also known as the East India Company Cemetery
Lovely little piece of England in Macau. Look out for the grave of the Right Honourable Lord H.I. Spencer Churchill, ancestor of Winston Churchill, and also for the graves of the painter George Chinnery (far left in the upper row) and the missionary Robert Morrison (far right near the back; his accomplishments include writing the first Chinese-English, English-Chinese dictionary).

素友品味
A tiny, very casual vegetarian restaurant. The atmosphere is of a low-key social event at a neighbor's house—if you speak Cantonese you can join in whatever conversation is going on.
