The Portuguese architecture is noticeable all over the town. Some buildings are in such a good shape like the one in the picture, but some others need urgently renovation works.

A great trip from HK

Most people who visit Macao visit from Hong Kong. While there is an airport in Macao, you'll most likely come by boat. Here's a shot from the mid-70s from the Hydrofoil as we approached Macao.

The Portuguese heritage is also reflected in the city's architecture. This narrow street starts from the Senate's Square.

This is a little visible example of the cultural diversity that I liked so much about Macao.

An other view of the city from Monte Hill. In the background, one can see the top of the Macao Tower, an other great observation point.

This is one of the streets leading up to the St Paul's Cathedral Facade... What a great view!! It was nice to see the facade appear before us when we were walking down this street...
