π₯ Recapping Hong Kong & Macau
Hereβs a video recap of our time in Hong Kong and Macau. It was a short visit, especially after having to trim several days from our original itinerary, but we felt like we saw enough to call it done.
One of my favorite parts of our time in Hong Kong was simply sitting at the edge of two tap houses and watching everyone pass by; itβs a great city for people watching.
I also donβt think Iβll forget how much shopping there is. It seemed like countless tall buildings also contained vertical malls, sporting a range of shops from clothing, to high end designer, to pharmacies, to fast food. All somehow with a familiar βAmerican mallβ vibe.

The Ruins of St Paul's in Macau
While most tourists go to Macau for the casino scene, our top destination there was the Ruins of St Paulβs, a Catholic Church built in the 1600s thatβs now an iconic landmark and a part of the Historic Centre of Macao UNESCO World Heritage Site. -S π²π΄

Senado Square in Macau is the main town square. The buildings that surround it and the design of the pavement are definitely Portuguese-influenced. Itβs part of the UNESCO Historic Center of Macau World Heritage Site and the old pedestrian zones were pack with people. -J π²π΄
Took the turbojet over to Macau today, another SAR of China and our fourth TCC Country. Definitely the Vegas of China and there are Portuguese influences all over. Here are a few street scenes. -J π²π΄
