Macau | Walking Through Historic Center Of Macau

Ruins of St. Pauls

Last June 2013 together with my good friend Weng we travel Macau and Hong Kong on a budget. 

It's our first time to travel out of the country. We’re too early at Clark airport in Pampanga. We waited for the check in counter to open then we fall in line to process our travel documents.

The Immigration officers asked so many questions to me. She asks for our hotel booking reservations, airline tickets and reason why we are traveling to Macau. After presenting all documents the IO finally stamped my passport then we headed to the boarding area and waited for our flight.

The Venetian

From Macau airport we took the free shuttle from the airport to the Venetian Hotel. The elegant interior of the casino /hotel is amazing. We roam around the casino complex and the nearby hotel.

From the Venetian Hotel we took a taxi to the Senado square. There's a lot of OFW there. Were supposed to spend time at the park but we can't find a place were we can rest so asked for a nearby hostel. We stayed at Pensao Ka Va. 

Past 10 in the morning when we woke up and started to explore the Senado Square, Ruins of St. Pauls and the historical center of Macau.

Senado Square

There is a  lot of free taste goods and souvenir shops along the streets leading to the Ruins of  St. Pauls.We ride a cab from one attraction to another. We visited the Guia Fortress, A-ma Temple and the Fisherman’ Wharf.
