'''Coloane''' ({{lang-zh|c=路環|j=lou6 waan4}}, {{langx|pt|Coloane}}) is the southernmost area in [[Macau]], connected to [[Taipa]] through the area known as [[Cotai]], which is largely built from reclaimed land. Known as “''Lou Wan''” in [[Cantonese]], Coloane forms the southern part of Macau. Its population consists of several settlements dotted around the parish, such as Vila de Coloane (Coloane Village), Hac Sa, Ká-Hó, and Cheoc Van. Administratively, the boundaries of the traditional civil parish ({{langx|pt|freguesia|links=no}}) of '''São Francisco Xavier''' are coterminous with that of Coloane.

==Etymology==
{{Unreferenced section|date=November 2025}}
Coloane was historically known in Cantonese as "Nine-inlet Mountain" ({{zh|t_hk=九澳山|j={{kCantonese|九澳山}}|links=no}}; transcribed in Portuguese as '''Ká-Hó''') and "Salt-stove Bay" ({{zh|t_hk=鹽灶灣|j={{kCantonese|鹽灶灣}}|labels=no}}). The Portuguese name of "Coloane" is derived from the Cantonese pronunciation of "Passing-road Ring" ({{zh|t_hk=過路環|j={{kCantonese|過路環}}|labels=no}}).

==Geography==
Coloane has an area of {{convert|8.07|km2|0|abbr=on}}, is {{convert|4|km|0|adj=on|abbr=on}} long and is {{convert|5.6|km|0|abbr=on}} from the [[Macau Peninsula]]. The narrowest part of Coloane is {{convert|300|m}}. The highest points in Macau are eastern and central Coloane, with the highest point being the {{convert|170.6|m}} [[Coloane Alto]] ({{zh|t=疊石塘山|j={{kCantonese|疊石塘山}}|labels=no}}, {{lang|pt|Alto de Coloane}}).

Before land reclamation works started beginning in the 1990s, Coloane was a former island, separated from Taipa by the bay of [[Seac Pai Bay|Seac Pai Van]], which from 1969 was crossed by a {{convert|2.2|km}} causeway, the Estrada do Istmo, connecting Coloane to Taipa. However by the early 2000s, extensive [[land reclamation]] physically connected the two islands and a new area called [[Cotai]], intended primarily for entertainment and leisure purposes, was built between Taipa and Coloane, now home to the [[Cotai Strip]] and several other casino projects.

The northern shore of the parish is {{convert|4.5|m}} deep,{{citation needed|date=December 2015}} and is the site of the Macau Deepwater Port.{{citation needed|date=December 2015}}

The eastern [[Hac Sa Beach]] ({{zh|t=黑沙海灘|cy=Hāksā Hóitāan|links=no}}, Portuguese: ''Baía de Hác Sá'') and the southern Cheoc Van Bay ({{zh|t=竹灣|cy=Jūk wāan|links=no}}, Portuguese: ''Baía de Cheoc Van'') are popular swimming beaches and overlook the [[South China Sea]].

==History==
From the [[Song dynasty]] onwards and until the Portuguese annexation of Coloane in 1864,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Macao - Asia |url=https://ermakvagus.com/macao.htm |access-date=2023-09-03 |website=ermakvagus.com}}</ref> Coloane largely served as a [[sea salt]] farm for [[China]]. The annexation of Coloane in the 1860s came as [[Portugal]] sought to expand its influence over [[Macau]] and affirm its sovereignty, turning the city into a fully-fledged [[Portuguese Macau|colony]] and expanding its area to include [[Taipa]], [[Ilha Verde]], Coloane and portions of [[Hengqin]] (Montanha). Due to Coloane’s sparse habitation, mountainous terrain, and geographical isolation yet close adjacency to the flourishing trade on the [[Macau Peninsula]], from the [[Ming dynasty|Ming Dynasty]],<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-11-26 |title=The Not-So Swashbuckling Pirates of Coloane |url=https://macaulifestyle.com/culture/heritage/pirates-coloane-macau/ |access-date=2023-09-03 |website=Macau Lifestyle |language=en-US}}</ref> it had also become a refuge of piracy, which resulted in Coloane’s fishermen having competition from both smugglers and pirates. According to historians, most pirates were likely fishermen seeking to make money. As such, the annexation by [[Portugal]] also sought to dislodge the pirates who had been using Coloane as a refuge and disrupt Macau’s trade.

Despite the annexation, Coloane remained largely deserted, and its Portuguese sovereignty remained disputed as late as 1912 by the local government in [[Guangdong]], which wanted property owners in Coloane not to be forced to pay taxes to the Macau colonial government.<ref>{{Cite web |title= Land of pirates. And mystery|website=Macau Business| date=19 July 2018 |url=https://www.macaubusiness.com/land-of-pirates-and-mystery/}}</ref> Despite several anti-piracy efforts, Coloane remained a base of piracy until an incident in July 1910 where a group of 18 Chinese children were kidnapped by a band of pirates, requesting a ransom amount of 35,000 [[Macanese pataca]]s. In what became the last battle fought by Portuguese troops in Macau, all 310 pirates active in the Coloane area were captured or fled after a 10-day battle, which saw Coloane bombed as a result and some of its inhabitants incarcerated and charged with helping pirates.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-11-26 |title=The Not-So Swashbuckling Pirates of Coloane |url=https://macaulifestyle.com/culture/heritage/pirates-coloane-macau/ |access-date=2023-09-03 |website=Macau Lifestyle |language=en-US}}</ref>

Many of the pirates that fled were caught either by the [[Portuguese Macau|colonial Macau]] government, the [[British Hong Kong|British colonial government in Hong Kong]], or the [[Qing dynasty|Qing government in China.]] Most faced the death penalty by decapitation.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-11-26 |title=The Not-So Swashbuckling Pirates of Coloane |url=https://macaulifestyle.com/culture/heritage/pirates-coloane-macau/ |access-date=2023-09-03 |website=Macau Lifestyle |language=en-US}}</ref>

For many years, July 13 has served as a local holiday in Coloane, celebrating the victory over the pirates, with a statue in front of the Church of St. Francis Xavier (in Largo Eduardo Marques) commemorating the event.

Locally famous for its rural character, the island started to become more populated after the Estrada do Istmo causeway connecting Coloane with Taipa was completed in 1969, and became to become rapidly developed and populated starting in the 1990s, following the beginning of land reclamation works that created the area of [[Cotai]] and developed new towns such as [[Seac Pai Van]].

==Coloane Village==
[[File:Coloane4.jpg|thumb|Old Tin Hau Temple]]
[[File:Macau coloane village 1.jpg|thumb|Chapel of St. Francis Xavier]]
Coloane Village ({{lang|pt|Vila de Coloane}}; {{zh|c=路環村|cy=Louhwàahn Chyūn|labels=no}}), located on the southwestern coast of Coloane, is the main settlement in the area.

The village centers on Eduardo Marques Square, which is a rectangle paved in [[cobblestone]]s that are black, white and yellow, laid out in a wavy pattern reminiscent of the sea. The square faces a seaside [[promenade]] that traces the channel dividing Macau from the [[Mainland China|mainland Chinese]] hills on Hengqin (Montanha). At the eastern end of the square stands the Chapel of St. Francis Xavier, built in 1928.

A [[Tam Kung Temple (Macau)|Tam Kung Temple]] is located at the southern end of {{lang|pt|Avenida de Cinco de Outubro|italics=no}} ({{lang|yue-MO|十月初五馬路}}).

== Lai Chi Vun Village ==
[[File:Lai Chi Vun Shipyard.jpg|thumb|A ship being built in a local shipyard.]]
Lai Chi Vun Village ({{lang|pt|Vila de Lai Chi Vun}}; {{zh|c=荔枝碗村|cy=|labels=no}}) is a small settlement located directly north of Coloane Village. The route to the village, the Estrada de Lai Chi Vun, begins at the intersection of Estrada de Seac Pai Van and Estrada do Campo in the north and ends at Largo do Cais in the south. The towering banyan tree at the northern end of the marks the northern entrance to the village, whose name is associated with its abundance in lychee trees in the past and its bowl-shaped bay.

The [[Shipyards in Macau#Coloane|shipyards]] that once lay beyond the village are nowadays left in disuse. The single-storey business premises of Veng Lok Shipyard and of Association of Shipbuilders of Macau-Taipa-Coloane are located inside the small courtyard to the right of the road atop the hill. All the way down the road to the western side is the one-storey office building of the Customs office of Coloane in Portuguese architectural style.

Coloane Pier, which was once the only entry and exit point of Coloane, is located along the waterfront facing Largo do Cais the southern end of the road.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://macaostreets.iacm.gov.mo/e/parish7/detail.aspx?id=bd269a47-7e8e-49e2-8784-0b823fc1b322|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170228000537/https://macaostreets.iacm.gov.mo/e/parish7/detail.aspx?id=bd269a47-7e8e-49e2-8784-0b823fc1b322|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 28, 2017|title=Macao Streets Homepage - Estrada de Lai Chi Vun|website=macaostreets.iacm.gov.mo|access-date=2017-02-27}}</ref>

The Lai Chi Vun shipyards are currently being evaluated to determine whether they meet the Macau SAR’s legal definition of cultural relics. The site is potentially significant because Macau's shipbuilding industry began at the shipyards and because of the formation of a historical village near the area.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://macaudailytimes.com.mo/consultation-lai-chi-vun-shipyards-starts-monday.html|title=Consultation on Lai Chi Vun shipyards starts Monday|date=18 January 2018 }}</ref>
