Macau, Sightseeing #2

Hong Kong, Day 3 - Macau, Sightseeing #2.

After the satisfying and delicious lunch, we started our walk about in Macau. The following are random photos of Macau.
Senado Square





St. Dominic's Church.

Interior of St. Dominic's Church.

Direction post.
We were heading towards Ruins of St. Paul Cathedral.

Koi Kei Bakery - free tasting of snacks, biscuits, etc.

Everyone was looking for some sweet treats e.g. almond cookies and pork jerky to take home as souvenirs.

Free tasting of biscuits or sweet treats before deciding what to buy.

For the whole length of this path from start to end, there were promoters standing in front of the biscuits shops offering samples for free tasting.

This promoter even put on a thorny head wear to attract customers.

Where once there were thorns, cypress trees will grow.
Where nettles grew, myrtles will sprout up.
These events will bring great honor to the LORD's name;
they will be an everlasting sign of His power and love.
(Isaiah 55:13, New Living Translation-NLT)

    1. Hi, Phong Hong, in the end we didn't buy any because we still have 2 more days to go before returning home. We decided to buy from the Hong Kong branch on the last day.
