Ruins of St. Paul's

MACAU HAS FINALLY RELAXED ITS ENTRY REQUIREMENTS WOOHOOO (no quarantine and no PCR tests!!) Since both operators (Turbojet and Cotai) are operating at a reduced capacity, there are much less ferry to and fro; do try to get tickets online to skip the queue at the counter!! I made the mistake of not booking in advance and tickets for the 9:30 am ferry were sold out when it was my turn to purchase tickets (had to then purchase tickets of a more exp class…) 😅😰 My friend and I decided to travel on the 5th day of CNY so it was a bit crowded. When we reached, we hopped on a free shuttle bus that brings us to the Parisian. We walked around, took pictures and then we slowly moved towards the 官也街 direction for food!!! We ate 水蟹粥 (crab congee) @ Seng Cheong and pork chop bun @ Mr K, both were good and decently priced!! After we were done with Taipa, we hopped on another free shuttle bus by Galaxy and we moved our way towards Macau. (Macau is pretty small so you can get around not taking the paid public transport and just rely on the hotel shuttle bus.) We the walked towards the Ruins of St Paul and grabbed some food&drinks on the way. We ended our day at the cocktail bar Cinnebar @ Wynn Bar! #urbanexplorer #境外遊 #MyTripVlog #macau

Paul in Macau, you should take pictures like this. The Ruins of St. Paul, with a history of more than 350 years, is a must-visit place for tourists in Macau. But Macau is really too hot and there are so many tourists, it's crowded with people when taking pictures, if you don't take good pictures, it's just a real tourist photo🙅‍♂️So you must learn to card the camera position!! 📷Photo position: Sit at the steps of the Ruins of St. Paul in Macau, you can slightly raise your face sideways, stretch one leg straight and bend the other leg (which can show long legs👀), then turn on the wide-angle lens of the mobile phone and turn it over to shoot, you can take the same style as picture 1⃣️!! There is also a photo🤳🏻position: There is a railing next to the Ruins of St. Paul, you can stand next to the railing or sit on the railing, and then use the mobile phone to shoot at a 25-degree angle, so you can clear the tourists and get a single portrait! 🕒Opening hours: Open all day 🚗Transportation: Take bus No. 17 to Xinsheng Street and walk there 🔔Play time: Recommend 1h

As someone who suffers from severe photo-taking embarrassment, I surprisingly received a lot of compliments from friends on the photos I took in Macau this time! I've summarized the photo-taking formula for going out as Natural + Atmospheric + Don't focus on the face! With a nice filter, taking good photos really becomes easier! 1️⃣ Ruins of St. Paul's Ruins of St. Paul's Archway The iconic Ruins of St. Paul's in Macau, to avoid a crowded shot, you must go at night! Find the steps and flowerbeds at the Ruins of St. Paul's, place the camera low and shoot from above, casually play with your phone or enjoy the scenery, the photos will turn out super natural and beautiful. 2️⃣ Grand Lisboa Grand Lisboa Hotel If you're staying on Macau Island, don't miss this spot! It's just a little way inside the alley next to the 7-11 opposite the Grand Emperor Hotel, and you can see the Grand Lisboa. Stand by the roadside looking at or away from the camera, the atmosphere is super strong! I took photos here during the day and at night, and personally, I prefer the night shot. 3️⃣ Eiffel Tower at The Parisian The best spot is in the park next to The Londoner! The green lawn is really beautiful, and if you're like me with not much expressiveness, just walk back and forth in front of the Eiffel Tower and have a friend snap photos, the more exaggerated the live action, the better. 4️⃣ Wynn Palace I really love the fountain and cable car at Wynn Palace, and they are super easy to photograph, but there are also super many people!!! My photo-taking embarrassment kicked in instantly... You can find a spot that is slightly facing the hotel, wait for a cable car to pass by, and then face slightly towards the camera, it would be even more beautiful with the fountain (which I didn't wait for 😭). 5️⃣ Macau Museum Macau Museum Sisters heading to the fort can mark this spot! The white walls of the Macau Museum are really photogenic, and I think it looks better on rainy days than sunny days, the retro vibe of Macau Island and a black umbrella🌂 are a perfect match!

I've been back to Macau for a week now Can't delay the photo guide anymore Coming to Macau 🇲🇴 People can take pictures like this in the sea of people Avoid the crowd from different angles 1⃣️【Ruins of St. Paul】 There are too many people in the square in front of the archway. You can go to the flower base stone steps next to the archway. The low-angle upward shot can avoid the crowd and integrate with the Ruins of St. Paul 2⃣️【Love Lane】: Stand or sit on the stone steps, the Ruins of St. Paul are all background walls, and the colorful Portuguese buildings are also good to shoot 4⃣️【UNIQLO】: It can be said that it is the most beautiful UNIQLO in Macau. You can take pictures of the Ruins of St. Paul from the oil painting frame glass window on the second floor. There are too many people and you have to queue up. I didn't go to shoot 5⃣️Go up the small hill on the right side of the archway, next to the big tree in the Fort Park, there are few people, and it's not bad to take a photo with the side view of the Ruins of St. Paul

Macau is divided into the Macau Peninsula, Taipa Island, and Coloane Island. Considering the limited time, I passed on Coloane and can only wait for next time when I have time ✅Must Experience: The Ruins of St. Paul's, a landmark of Macau, is an absolute must-visit. It was originally a wall of a church, with fine carvings, majestic and spectacular, featuring a towering cross, the statue of the Holy Infant, and the statue of the Virgin Mary surrounded by angels and flowers, creating a strong religious atmosphere. The Monte Fort is nearby the Ruins of St. Paul's, just a five to six-minute walk away, with signposts for guidance. Senado Square is also not far from the Ruins of St. Paul's and can be reached on foot. The entire square's ground is paved with cobblestones in a wave pattern, as if walking on the rippling sea~ In the center, there is a beautiful fountain, surrounded by benches, and nearby buildings such as the Tourism Office, Post Office, and the Holy House of Mercy, exuding a strong Portuguese flair, making it a very pleasant leisure spot. The Venetian Macao Resort, The Londoner Macao, and Parisian Shopping Center These three resorts are connected, with corridors linking them internally. The architecture perfectly replicates the iconic features of the three places, especially the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian, which emulates Venice with canals and gondolas shuttling back and forth on the water, truly feeling like a distant water kingdom~ Rua do Cunha is a street full of gourmet food. Don't be fooled by the short length of the street; it gathers all the characteristic delicacies of Macau, with recommendations for beef offal, dim sum from Koi Kei, and the large pudding cake from Mok Yi Kei~
