Ruins of St. Paul's

2️⃣3️⃣: Near the hotel under the big clock, many sisters take beautiful pictures at night, but I think sunset shots are also good👌 4️⃣: Walk from the Grand Lisboa to the Ruins of St. Paul's, there is a traffic light🚥 right here! 5️⃣6️⃣: The higher the steps on the side of the Ruins of St. Paul's, the better, and the fewer people, the better to climb up from below😂 I took my photo in the middle and it turned out pretty well without capturing people! 7️⃣: On the left side of the Ruins of St. Paul's, there is a slope going down to a small alley, stand on the steps, and have your helper stand below⬇️ for a perfect panorama

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

📍Attraction Address: St. Paul's Address: Jesuit Memorial Square in Macau Old Town (below Fortaleza do Monte in St. Anthony's Parish) 🚗Transportation to Attraction: Walking: St. Paul's ☞ Yee Van Alley ☞ Republic Avenue 👍️Must-visit Attractions: St. Paul's 🎟️Ticket Information: Free 💗Other tips: Walking around Macau city is a very suitable way to travel. St. Paul's is a church with a hundred years of history that was later destroyed by a fire, leaving only a façade. It integrates the essence of Eastern and Western architectural art and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005. It is one of the landmark buildings in Macau. Almost everyone who comes to Macau will visit here, so it is usually very crowded. To avoid the crowds, you should either come early in the morning or in the evening. We arrived before 8 am when there were not many people. After taking photos, the place was swarmed with tour groups wearing little red and yellow hats, and it was no longer a good time for photos. From St. Paul's, navigate to Yee Van Alley, which is about a 1.3 km walk. Macau is full of slopes, which can be quite exhausting to walk. Yee Van Alley was once where the wealthy people of Macau lived, in a villa area. The pink houses contrast sharply with the blue sea, making for great photos. Walking down the slope of Yee Van Alley leads to Republic Avenue, right by the sea. The sea breeze is very comfortable.

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 both small and big. You can visit 16th century temples, see 17th century churches, search for 18th century monasteries, climb 19th century lighthouses, wander through 20th century streets, and stay in 21st century resorts on over 1,200 streets that are almost all unique. Its richness, its fireworks, its heritage, don't miss any corner, Macau is worth exploring and savoring for everyone, feel it with your heart.

|The romantic pink path to the seaside. Don't miss this in Macau A fresh, romantic and niche seaside street Blue sea, pink houses, coconut trees, wall-climbing bougainvillea As if breaking into Miyazaki's animation Walking along the seaside with friends, it's really comfortable! It's only a 30-minute walk from the 'Ruins of St. Paul' and the scenery along the way is great! Come to Macau for a City Walk photo tour~~ 📸 Here you can not only take pictures of The romantic pink path facing the sea💖 But also take a photo with Macau Tower and New Lisboa🏞️ Walking to the Bishop's Hill Chapel, there is a retro church⛪️ next to the viewing platform, where you can see the panoramic view of Macau's coastline, the scenery is super good 🗺️【Macau City walk one-day tour route] (no backtracking) Yiwanshelane→Bishop's Hill Chapel (viewing platform)→Gangding Square→Legislative Assembly Square Fulong New Street Rose Church New Road Macau Guanqian Street Love Lane One Ruins of St. Paul's Cannon Fort Tips1: There are still very few people here, it is a hidden niche treasure spot! But this road is open to traffic, remember to pay attention to the traffic when shooting! Tips2: Buses pass by about every 5-10 minutes, and there are many beautiful motorcycles and cars, you can stand by the roadside and wait patiently for shooting Tips3: Again, pay attention to the weather, this should be a spot with two colors on cloudy and sunny days. When the sun is out, the color of the sea will look better, and the air will be clearer, remember to come when it's sunny. ❷You can wait for a yellow welfare car to pass by for a photo (there are quite a few shifts), it's very photogenic with the seaside Do a good job of sun protection, the UV rays here are quite strong ④It is recommended to bring some small props for shooting, it will be more photogenic! Like this time I brought a pure white matching Tujia balance series suitcase, not only can it hold luggage and special products, but the high-value appearance is super photogenic, and the wide pull rod design makes pushing more relaxed~ 📍 Macau Peninsula-Yiwanshelane Bus 'Republic Road Station' or directly take a taxi there are parking spaces on the roadside
