Hi We are going to hongkong- macau this march, what suppose to be the clothes we need to wear? and is taipa village and coloane village is near the ruins cathedral? thank you

Hi Karla, HK and Macau are warm in March, with average temperature of 16 °C (60°F)~ 20 °C (68 °F). A light sweater and a light coat are generally enough, but if it gets hot you'll need summer clothing such as a T-shirt.

From Taipa village to the ruins cathedral is about 8km, and from Coloane village, about 12km.
