The Ruins of St. Paul


" The Ruins of St. Paul's (Portuguese: Ruínas de São Paulo, Chinese: 大三巴牌坊; pinyin: Dàsānbā Páifāng) refers to the ruins of a 16th century complex in Macau including of what was originally St. Paul's College and the Cathedral of St. Paul also known as "Mater Dei", a 17th century Portuguese cathedral dedicated to Saint Paul the Apostle. Today, the ruins are one of Macau's most famous landmarks. In 2005, they were officially enlisted as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic Centre of Macau. " - Wikipedia

Going to St. PAul Ruins is easy. If your coming from the ferry terminal just ask at the Tourism information desk at the entrance of the ferry terminal for the bus number going to Senado Square. It is just a walk away from the Senado Square.
 Going there, you'll bump to different kinds of tourists; from asians to caucasians everyone is going to that direction. Along the streets there are several local food kiosk and souvenir shops. Just be careful of your belongings because its too crowded.
 Tourists are just everywhere,from the first stair to the entrance of The Ruins and of course, we are one of them!!! ☺☺☺

The view is magnificent. Not just the St. Paul Ruin wall but the overlooking view of the tall buildings of Macau.
