Where should I go to check out the Western-style humanistic buildings?

The Grand Samba Archway in Macau is sure to be one of the must-visit photo spots when you come to Macau! As a world-renowned historical building and a landmark of Macau, it is full of European classical beauty. The Ruins of St. Paul's was originally the front wall of St. Paul's Church. The preserved archway has become a popular photo spot, attracting many Chinese and foreign tourists. Featured exterior walls are exquisitely carved, plus the surrounding stone steps and streets, whether camera or mobile phone photography, it is easy to take pictures with a sense of art!

Recommended tour routes:
It is recommended to walk from New Road or Amerika Lipilu Street into the Ruins of St. Paul's. Walking near the Tai Samba archway, there are also dried meat shops, souvenir shops, specialty snacks (Portuguese tarts, pork chop buns), etc., we encourage you to reserve time to try authentic cuisine (rich human touch!).

Must check-in locations:
The front of the Grand Samba is definitely the most beautiful main spot, and it is recommended to go in the morning or evening when there are fewer people, so it will be easier to find a clean background for photos. The stone steps are positioned from the bottom up, which is particularly elegant and layered. It is recommended to go up to the rear of the archway to see the ruins while admiring the Macau cityscape.
