This is the twenty-first part of our 4-days-3-nights Hong Kong-Macau Adventure.
From the Fisherman’s Wharf, you can ride bus 3A to go to Senado Square. There is no octopus card in Macau , instead they have this coin slot near the driver’s seat where you would have to place your payment there. You need to have the exact amount because no one would give you any change. The bus fare from Fisherman’s Wharf to Senado Square is 3.2hkd so we placed 7hkd to the slot. A bit of an advice, if you’re standing in the bus, hold on for dear life! Haha the bus drivers in Macau are crazy drivers! It is also a bit confusing to know where to go down, although there is a screen on the front of the bus that shows where the next stop would be. We only found out that we were already in the bus stop of Senado Square because we saw the place.
Once we got down, we saw a Koi Kei Bakery. This is a very famous bakery in Macau which sells amazing Portuguese Egg Tart. It costs 8hkd per tart. They also sell a variety of baked products as well as different beef jerky. And they were right about it being the best egg tart, it was delicious! No, it was not just delicious, it was amazingly delicious!
Anyway, Senado Square or Largo de Senado is a paved area with cobblestone streets which is in the center of the former Portuguese colony of Macau. Senado Square is part of the “Historic Centre of Macau” which covers 8 squares and 22 buildings in Macau. The Historic Centre of Macau is included in the UNESCO’s list of world heritage sites.
The square has many shops and restaurants (even a McDonalds) and the main streets branched off to other smaller streets and alleys that still have shops and restaurants. There are different road signs as well which leads to the St. Paul Ruins. The alleyway near St. Paul Ruins is lined with so many stores that sell different beef jerky. And the best part is that all of them give out free tastes. So by the time you got to the ruins, you’re very full from delicious beef jerky. Kulang na lang ay kanin haha.
At the end of Senado Square roads is the St. Paul Ruins.
