Hong Kong-Macau Adventure: Ruins of St. Paul's

This is the twenty-second part of our 4-days-3-nights Hong Kong-Macau Adventure.

The Ruins of St. Paul’s (St. Paul Ruins) is a 17th-century Portuguese cathedral dedicated to St. Paul the apostle and was destroyed by a fire in 1835. Now, the ruins is one of Macau’s most famous landmarks and is part of the Historic Centre of Macau. The only thing that remains is the façade and the stairway.

There were so many people at the time that we were there so we were not able to take pictures without any people in the background but still the ruins is amazing. The façade has an intricate detail and is very beautiful.

Anyway, after that we bought some magnets which cost a total of 86hkd. And then we bought some beef jerky which costs 25hkd and 43hkd. We planned to eat it for lunch but unfortunately, we did not find any area where to eat it. Another thing, the storeowners and sellers are not that good with English so we had a bit of a hard time buying things which was a bit funny.
