[Day trip to Macau] Recommended sightseeing spots

Take a day trip to Macau, about an hour by ferry from Hong Kong! ✈️
The Macau Peninsula, home to many World Heritage Sites, is packed with tourist attractions, making for a great city walk.
We also ventured to the Taipa district, where you'll find charming architecture, to fully enjoy the Portuguese-Asian atmosphere. 🇵🇹✨

📍Senado Square　
The center of Macau, with its beautiful undulating cobblestone streets.
Surrounded by cafes, sweet shops, and shops, it's the perfect starting point for sightseeing. The beautiful nighttime illuminations make it a popular photo spot.
The General Civil Administration Office and the Hall of Mercy Building, located just off the square, are also World Heritage Sites!

📍Ruins of St. Paul's　
Macau's most popular and iconic spot!
The remains of a church, with only the front wall remaining after a fire, are truly impressive.
The view of the Old Town from the top of the stairs is also a must-see. In fact, the square right in front of you is also a World Heritage Site!

I started sightseeing around 3:00 PM, so I only managed to see this much, but if you start in the morning, it's not a dream to visit all 30 World Heritage sites in one day! ✨💕
