Macau (also spelled Macao, 澳門, Ou3 Mun4 in Cantonese, Àomén in Mandarin) is a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China. Located across the Pearl River estuary from Hong Kong, until 1999 Macau was an overseas territory of Portugal. One of the world's most densely populated spots, Macau is best known as Asia's largest destination for gambling taking in even more revenue than Las Vegas. - Wikitravel
On our Hong Kong trip, we took a side-trip to Macau.
@ First Class Area |
We left Hong Kong early and had the 8am ferry to Macau. Since we had a premier ticket, so there is a free breakfast on board and we took some rest and save some energy for our Macau Adventure.
Senado Square |
And so, the never ending walk in Macau began...
From the bus stop, we walk in an alley going to the Senado Square. Tourist are already everywhere.
There are lots of shop in the Senado Square like Mc Donalds and Starbucks.
St. Francis of Asisi Entrance |
Going to the St. Paul ruins you'll pass-by local food stalls and souvenir shops. And just be careful because the street is so crowded.
...And at the end of the street we found a beautiful ruins surrounded by different kinds of tourists and we are one of those. ☺☺☺

Painted cloudy blue skies ceiling and a romantic gondola ride are just some what Venetian is all about. Though it is a hotel-casino place but non-gamblers can still enjoy the place.
