Macau Photo Gallery - City Scenes

Casa de Penhores Tradicional Pawn shops were a popular form of banking in the old days. People could drop off valuable items and collect them later at an additional fee, or deposit money and earn interest.
The client-facing area was obviously well-fortified.
VIPs get to sit here.
Once the customer's items have been collected, they are stored in the adjacent building, locked behind metal bars and inside these cabinets.
Other larger objects are placed in racks upstairs.
Neighbourhood Walk My ultimate destination was the Jardim de Luis de Camoes, which was quite a distance beyond. I passed by some gritty neighbourhoods along the way.
R. dos Ervanarios Alfresco dining - traditional style. Try some warm desserts on a cold day!
Igreja de Santo Antonio
Jardim de Luis de Camoes lies within close proximity to the church.
Casa Garden Built in 1770 and once home of a wealthy Portuguese merchant, it was rented out to the East India Company, and is now the headquarters of the Orient Foundation.
Cemiterio Protestante Morrison Chapel was built in 1821 and the cemetary is a testament of Protestant history in Macau.
Jardim de Luis de Camoes
The landscape is changing, as redevelopment places new and taller buildings across the city.
After a refreshing walk in the park and a moment of tranquility in the chapel, I headed east along R. de Coelho do Amaral and into the alleys to observe some street life.
Pau Kung Temple This temple was not in my guidebook, but was interesting enough for a stop.
