🏝️ Taipa

Taipa is an area in Macau, formerly a distinct island from Coloane but now connected to it through the reclaimed land of Cotai. Located on the northern half of the combined island, Taipa's population is mostly suburban. Administratively, the boundaries of the traditional civil parish Freguesia de Nossa Senhora do Carmo are mostly coterminous with that of the former Taipa Island, except for a portion of the parish that lies on the island of Hengqin (Montanha), housing the campus of the University of Macau.
