Directions

The cluster of market stalls and small shops radiating from the St. Dominic's Church square area forms one of Macau's most atmospheric shopping zones, blending tourist-facing egg tart shops with genuinely local dried seafood and herbal medicine vendors. The dried seafood shops here — selling scallops, abalone, and fish maw — are where locals actually stock up for Chinese New Year gifts. Quality varies stall to stall, so look for shops with high turnover and knowledgeable owners. The area is extremely crowded on weekends and holidays.
