Shipyard sheds
The historic junk-building yards line the shore in a row of long structures. Their slipways reach into the water and give the waterfront a rhythmic pattern.

The map
Lai Chi Van is on the western coast of Coloane, in Macao's parish of Saint Francis Xavier. From above, the plan is a thin strip of land between steep, green slopes and the water. A single road runs along the shore. Across a narrow channel lies Hengqin Island, close enough that the two coastlines almost mirror each other on the map.
The area is best known for the Lai Chi Vun shipyards, where wooden junks were once built by hand. The long sheds sit right on the waterline, and their slipways run down into the channel. Today they are a protected heritage site and one of the last reminders of Macao's boatbuilding trade. Coloane Village lies a short distance to the south.
A Lai Chi Van map poster is a study of an edge. The hillside is at the back, a line of sheds and houses runs along the shore, and water separates it from the opposite coast. It suits people who know Coloane's quieter side, and anyone interested in Macao beyond the casino districts.

A thin strip of water separates Coloane from Hengqin. On the print, the two coastlines face each other closely, which makes for a striking composition.
One road follows the shoreline between the slopes and the sea. It ties the shipyards to Coloane Village and gives the map a clear, simple spine.

Why Lai Chi Van
The map is for Macao residents who walk this shore, people with family links to the old boatbuilding trade and visitors who found this quieter corner of Coloane. It captures a small, specific piece of coast.
Personalise the title and subtitle, perhaps with the shipyards or a year, and keep the coordinates line. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Paper suits the heritage feel.
