Filming Locations in Macao
Most film productions that come to Macao will have an idea of what they expect based on the available locations. Most of them will contain a scene of an old Chinese neighborhood or a Macao casino vibe. On the other hand, with the way the city was built and planned, it’s very well set up to stand in as a replacement for futuristic architecture. In retrospect, it really doesn’t matter what type or genre film you have in pre-production. Mbrella Films, a top film production company here in Macao, will help you scout all options possible for your production. Continue reading to see some spots we’ve already pre-scouted for you.
The Ruins of Saint Paul’s
The Ruins of Saint Paul’s are the ruins of a 17th-century Catholic religious complex in Santo António, Macao. The ruins are one of Macao’s best-known landmarks and one of the Seven Wonders of Portuguese Origin in the World. In 2005, they were officially listed as part of the Historic Center of Macao and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. One of the Martin Scorsese films called “Silence” was shot here at this particular site.
Macao Tower
The Macao Tower Convention and Entertainment Center also known as Macao Tower is a tower located in Sé, Macao. Its observation deck features views, restaurants, theaters, shopping malls, and the Skywalk X, a walking tour around the outer rim that can give you the best view of Macao. If you want the best view of Macao, you should consider this location, for just the site of it can make people know that it was filmed in Macao.
Grand Lisboa
Grand Lisboa is a 47-floor hotel in Sé, Macao, and the tallest building in Macao and the most distinctive part of its skyline. The hotel contains 430 hotel rooms and suites. Its casino offers 800 gaming tables and 1,000 slot machines. For any film that requires the hotel or casino scene, we would recommend checking this hotel out.
Ferreira do Amaral Plaza
Ferreira do Amaral Plaza, located in the Praia Grande district, is a circular plot of land lying at the southern tip of the Macao Peninsula. This modern complex building square is very popular among photographers for their fashion or any photography. However, any film must look amazing filming in this location.
A-Ma Temple
The A-Ma Temple is one of the oldest in Macao, built in 1488. It consists of six main parts: the Gate Pavilion, the Memorial Arch, the Prayer Hall, the Hall of Benevolence (the oldest part of the temple), the Hall of Guanyin, and Zhengjiao Chanlin – the Buddhist Pavilion. For a more traditional Chinese location, this location would be the best to look out for.
