Where to stay in Patane
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Beds in Patane sit on the slope between Lam Mau Tong and Camoes Garden, so a room here keeps the park hill and the old bay ground of Patane within a short walk. The park side is greener. Streets toward Lam Mau Tong sit flatter and closer to the water, with less climbing between the door and the shore.
Stay near Camoes Garden for shade and quiet mornings.

About Patane
What are the main landmarks in Patane?
Camoes Garden is the landmark that gave Patane its first meaning, because the name Patane originally described the hill the park occupies. The park keeps the high ground. Two readings of that rise survive: some hold that its outline resembled a sand pear, others that a large rock at the water's edge carried the likeness instead.
Beyond the park, Patane keeps its edges rather than its monuments, running from Lam Mau Tong down to the wooded slope.
What is the history of Patane?
The name records a shoreline: Patane was first attached to the hill inside Camoes Garden, and only later spread across the ground between that slope and Lam Mau Tong. Two stories explain it. The older reading is botanical, taking the sand pear for the shape that the hill, or a shore rock, once recalled.
The other traces the ending back to tau, a Tanka word for a bay, which would make Patane a name given from the water rather than from the slope above it.
Where is Patane?
Patane covers the north-western part of the Macau Peninsula, the ground lying south of Lam Mau Tong and north of the Camoes Garden hill.
