Macau Photo Gallery - City Scenes

Portuguese Influence Macau is a bilingual city - Chinese and Portuguese.
Casino Lisboa Casino Lisboa used to be Macau's grand casino before the industry was deregulated and international gambling companies rushed in. Now, a brand new Grand Lisboa has opened next door, shaped like a lotus flower.
Heading further down Av. do Infante Dom Henrique, I joined the other hordes of tourists destined for Largo do Senado.
Edificio do Leal Senado This was Macau's first municipal chamber, with the original structure built in 1784. It includes a ceremonial meeting room, library, and courtyard.
Largo do Senado The city's main square, it is surrounded by pastel-coloured buildings and has become the ultimate tourist trap.
General Post Office Having overlooked this gem in past visits, I ventured inside to take a look. The interior architecture is disappointing, but their philatelic counter is wonderful.
Santa Casa da Misericordia At first I thought this was a church, but it is actually a social welfare organization that was established in 1569. The museum consists of a ceramics collection and a classical meeting room on display.
This meeting room screams history, with photos of important people from eras past hung along the walls.
The view from the balcony was quite good though - the entire square was at your feet.
Igreja de S. Domingos
