Walking the Heritage Trail in Macau to see these colourful buildings!

I crossed the border from Zhuhai into Macau to spend the day walking around Macau. Such an interesting place with both Cantonese and Portuguese influence everywhere.

Must sees:

1. A-Ma Temple - the oldest building in Macau, and how Macau got its name!
2. Moorish Barracks
3. Lilau Square - so charming, it does feel like being in Portugal!
4. St. Lawrence’s Church
5. St. Joseph’s Seminary and Church
6. St. Augustine’s Square
7. St. Augustine’s Church
8. Dom Pedro V Theatre - the first Western style theatre in China. Go inside to see the theatre!
9. Sir Robert Ho Tung Library
10. Senado Square - the iconic square; every building around it is more than 100 years old
11. “Leal Senado” Building
12. The General Post Office Building
13. Holy House of Mercy
14. St. Dominic’s Church
15. Ruins of St. Paul’s - most famous spot, very busy in the middle of the day.
16. Na Tcha Temple
17. Section of the Old City Walls
18. Mount Fortress


Crossing the border took about 40 mins on the way out, and only 15 to come back, super easy for a day trip!
