Macau: Day 3

Day 3 on Tai Pa Island 

Having spent the past two days on the Macau peninsula itself, we decided to spend our 3rd day on Tai Pa island. There were lots to see. We explored Tai Pa Village, a street littered with endless cafes and restaurants. We did more touristy stuff and explored the Macau house museum to catch glimpse of the lives of the rich and powerful of the past. And of course, we checked out the big hotels suchs as 4 seasons and Venetian, which the Venetian by the way, is very similar to our Marina Bay Sands Singapore. 

At Tai Pa village for the food!

Macau - where history and dazzling lights meet

HELLO MACAU!

你好!



Senado Square
Colourful Portugese architecture reflecting the city's historical past

The famous ruins of St Paul's
If you walk towards here from Senado Square, you'll end up starting fr the base.

Look what I found! WC for dogs !!!! So cute!

Many teahouses, just like in Hong Kong 
The place I stayed in. If you're looking for somewhere quieter...
It's away from the hustle and bustle of the strip

A lesser known area
The inner streets where the locals live.
A stark contrast in landscape from the strip of hotels facing the waterfront.

History still remains vividly in this area
European architecture and cobbled walkways are still preserved till this day

For history buffs, churches are plentiful if you're intending on doing some sightseeing. The old churches have not been torn down so the architecture resembles that of those you see in Europe.
Bottom row, 2nd pic from the left: architecture reminds me of the famous Pantheon in Rome.

At the Venetian Macau's foodcourt. Also caught Cirque du Soleil's ZAIA at the Venetian. Awesome acrobats and easy to understand storyline. Much better than the KA experience at Vegas. 

Tree of prosperity at Wynn Macau
See the tree come to life(its free) daily
See the Chinese words above Wynn?
Its pronounced as 'Yong Li'
Bright dazzling lights along the strip
Mecanese (Southern Chinese + Portugese) food
Galinha à Portuguesa or "Portuguese-style Chicken"


Before I say goodbye,
