Find Peace in Macau’s Bustle at St. Lawrence’s Church

#macau #china #thingstodo 🌿 While the Ruins of St. Paul’s buzzes with people and crowds, St. Lawrence’s Church offers hushed elegance—a peaceful counterpoint just minutes from downtown. ✨ Why Visit? ✅ Tranquil Oasis: Tucked atop a leafy hill in the historic São Lourenço district, this 16th-century church offers shaded courtyards, whispering banyan trees, and cool stone benches—perfect for quiet reflection away from crowded streets. ✅ Golden Age Grandeur: Marvel at butter-yellow Baroque facades and vaulted ceilings echoing 400 years of whispered prayers. ✅ Secret Vistas: Climb to the church terrace for dreamy views of the Pearl River—without the tourist crowds of Senado Square. 📍 Address: Rua de São Lourenço, Macau Peninsula 🕒 Hours: 10:00 AM–4:00 PM 🎫 Entry: Free 🚶 Walk: 8 mins from Senado Square—close but worlds apart! This is a Portuguese jewel where time slows, bells chime softly, and the city’s rush fades to silence.
