We visited Macau on a day trip from Hong Kong. | |||
Old Colonial Macau still exists in a compact part of the city. The locals and the tourists both enjoy the ambience. | |||
The shops are full of curiosities. Hong Kong dollars are accepted in Macau shops, but beware that Macau dollars are NOT accepted in Hong Kong! | |||
Only the facade remains of the old St Paul's Cathedral, but it is still an impressive sight. | |||
These sturdy remnants of the old walls of St Pauls frame a Buddhist temple. | |||
The Fortaleza do Monte is an old fort sitting atop the hill beside St Pauls. | |||

A street mural painted on tiles showing Macau as it may have looked like in years past. | |||
When in Macau, one must visit at least one casino. We chose the Venetian for its splendid, over-the-top decorations. | |||
Perpetual twilight provides a soothing atmosphere to encourage patrons to loosen their purse strings! | |||
This is the new Studio City Casino. It is close to the Venetian on the Southern Island of Macau. | |||
This elegant bridge connects the two main islands of Macau. The shot was taken from the ferry terminal as we waited for our trip back to Hong Kong. | |||
