This museum, located just opposite the A-Ma Temple, has been extraordinarily well laid out. Even if you are not obsessed with boats and nautical history, it is interesting to see the tropical looking boats which colored Macau's past. From flower boats to fishing boats to dragon boats, each vessel tells a story about the enclave's culture. Outside, a junk will show you half an hour's worth of a different Macau from the water.
