Ruins of St Paul

This is my first time visiting Macau- ruins of St Paul is a must visit in my itinerary since this is a famous tourist landmark just like Melaka. When we reached the Mater Dei Square we have no idea we already within vicinity of the historical route..we only realized that we are on Macau  history ground after learning from the tourist information counter nearby. Lucky us :)

The tourist information counter is the yellow building on the left. 

The weather is simply great on a Saturday noon with temperature around 18 Celsius.

Not a history person, not a problem..there are a strings of shopping paradise along the way to St Paul.There are sales everywhere and I felt there these shops are wailing hysterically inviting shoppers to drop by. LOL

Musang King at Macau...we overheard the shop owner said, " If you eat this babies here it will only cost you MOP300++, but if you try to buy this at Hong Kong it will cost you HKD600++"..I didn't know musang king can be that expensive here.

If you are getting lost, no worries..look for this signature to lead you the way to Ruins of St Paul

It is getting more and more crowded..

Finally the we saw the St Paul!!

If I know that would be these many people we would come early.

St Paul is actually an university in the 16th Century. 

The other side of the wall is being supported by metal pillars to prevent collapse.

The glass box is actually leftover tomb site at the St Paul.

A little memorial place for students to perish in the fire of St Paul.

These skeletons believe belong to the students who perish in the fire of St Paul.

It followed by a small gallery that showcase relic found around the St Paul church.

They also offered guided tour 3 session a day for Saturday,Sunday and PH in Cantonese and Mandarin only.

From St paul, See that crown a like building? That's the Lisboa Casino Hotel belongs to Stanley Ho, the wealthiest person in Macau.

While we were walking down back to the town, people gather at the square for the lion dance
