Hidden Gems
by Josh Lew on July 17, 2007

Just one hour by ferry from Hong Kong, a day trip to Macau is entirely possible.
Largo do Senado, a mix of Portuguese colonial architecture and Cantonese culture is the center of Macau. St. Paul's Cathedral is a ruined, but still larger than life church left over from the Portuguese era. A ferry trip to Lowan Island, south of Macau's peninsula will lead to some great hiking trails. The trademark rugged/beauty of The South China Sea's Chinese coastline is on full display here.
The mix of old colonial culture with local color makes for some unique sightseeing. Though it is nearby Hong Kong, Macau has a totally different feel. Even if you can't stand the casinos, the rest of Macau is worth a look.

Macau is a beautiful city.. especially with the Portuguese architecture. I do think Stanley's new casino is an eye sore tho.
