Weekend Escape from Troubles - Sail to Macau

Travel is certainty my way to forget all troubles, even 2D1N weekend escape. The first destination was Macau. After several hours, we went to Mainland China for having numbers of meals.

View of Macau Tower from Colina da Penha (西望洋山 /主教山) in a cloudy day.














Penha Church where the bishop of Macau works and lives. The exterior looks simple, yet indoors decorations are in decent details.



A big Portuguese lunch. The ox tail was the most delicious dish, the second went to sardine.


Cute and fun graffiti seems an expression of children's purity.   














Ruins of St Paul's - an attraction one won't miss in Macau. The front side consists elements of China and Japan. There are several Chinese characters on the facade.

Mountain people mountain sea.


St Dominic's Church is located at the heart of Macau, which is also a popular tourism attraction.

There are treasures of scared arts which allow us to understand more about Catholic.


Catedral Igreja da Sé (聖母聖誕主教座堂) where serious Catholic rituals take place.


Markings recorded the history of Macau. Portugueses arrived the place from sea in the 16th century and later converted the place into their colony. The sovereignty returned to the Chinese government in 1999.
