Minhas férias de Macau - Part 2

Just can't get enough of Macau. Sucha small place but so many sights to see. Here are some more spots to visit in this 3-island wonder place!


The arc going to the shrine of Ama and temple at Mount Dep Sek Tong







peaceful ambience in the temple makes it a perfect place to contemplate



Look at those intricate post carvings!





lots of dragon and turtle statues in and out of the Temple





The Buddha shrine




huge incense burner just beside the temple going to the Shrine of A-ma



The Shrine of A-ma. A-ma is the patroness of Seamen, fishermans and Merchants and it's where Ma-cau got it's name









This is the most famous restaurant in Coloane. Tourist from Macau mainland go to Coloane Island just to eatat Restaurante Fernando




Restaurante Fernando has a refreshing outdoor dining place and a cozy indoor area

Steaks are cook in authentic Portuguese style.

the spinach soup is awesome!!!


Juicy roasted chicken taste pretty okay, nothing special


I am not a really into fried fish but this simple looking fish dish is really worth a try!
Fresh vegetable salad complements the steak well
The Black beach - This is the only beach in Macau. Not really that fancy, I say our own Batangas beaches are even better but since this is the only one they have, they say this is all packed during summer




The Praia Avenue park is the most emblematic palce inTaipa, it used to be houses of high ranking officials that is now converted into museums and tourist reception area



houses are lighted and is more beautiful at night

One of the many Catholic Church in Taipa. This is said to be the oldest in town. It is where most Catholic Macanese attend mass. Morning Mass is usually conducted in Mandarin Language



a small park and side street restaurants infront of the Church



The Red Market is where you get the best quality Chorizos and dried foods in the city.


This place have the best beef Jerky in town ( market place down the ruins - St. Paul Cathedral)

Another Attraction here is the Macau's Fisherman's warf


Lot's of activities to do do here at the warf - they even offer wargames!!!

This castle is actually a museum inside

The warf has a convention center too!

The Macau warf walkway - There is a free golf car shuttle that can tour you around the place if you don't feel like walking



Macau's version of the Colosseum

Some ship displays infront of the Convention center
