During the recent trip to Shenzhen, we spend the weekend at Macau by taking a ferry from Shenzhen.

Macau is known as "The Las Vegas of the East" and is now the worlds number one gambling operation, surpassing Las Vegas in 2007. Macau currently has around 30 casinos, among the top five are The Sands, Wynn, Lisboa, the newly opened New Lisboa and also Venetian Casino Resort.

We took the opportunity to visit Venetian this time as we have missed it the last few trips as it was located out of town ie at the Cotai strip.




The Venetian Macau is a Renaissancce Venice - themed luxury hotel and casino resort in Macau. The Venetian Macau is modeled on its sister casino resort – The Venetian in Las Vegas – and is the largest single structure hotel building in Asia and the 3rd largest building in the world.

Another must go area in Macau is Largo do Senado, (Senado Square) which contains some of the most quintessentially Portuguese buildings in the city, such as the Leal Senado Building, the Holy House of Mercy and the impressive Ruins of St Paul's.

This is the famous biscuit shop selling
Almond Biscuits and Portugese Egg Tarts.

Ruins of St Paul's was once the biggest church in Asia. The church was destroyed by a fire in 1835 but its impressive facade and staircase still make it worth the clamber up the hill.
