A friend asked me what is there to do in Macau for 4 days since I don’t gamble? See in Macau, it is not about how many tourist spots you can cover during your visit there. You have to simply enjoy Macau the way it is. The way of life, the portuguese influences, the smell, the colour, the air, the nite view and everything.
OK, let me relive some of the sights, sounds and sampling of Macau. First of, all guide books tell us to start our journey from La Senado. From there almost everywhere is within walking distance. And you will know when you’re there from the mosaic walkways.

Originally built in 1784, this was Macau’s municipal chamber. One of the most significant building here.

If you did not tried the Portuguse Tart, you have definitely fail to sample a very important element of Macau.
There is a lot of churches in Macau that probably qualifies for the World Heritage status and they are all within walking distance from La Senado. I lost count as well as lost track how many churches I did went in and which one is which one because they all look the same.
This is St.Dominic. I actually only figured out after I came back and saw it on the web. So guess you'll know it is one of the more significant church.
This is a very hot spot for picture taking so we also took the chance to have one.
Who's this, he asked.
