Grand Lisboa Hotel is not far away from Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro. It took me about 10 minutes to get to the landmark of Macau - Ruins of St. Paul's. On the way to Ruins of St. Paul's, I went to the Margret's Cafe e Nata to enjoy 2 Portuguese-style egg tarts.
Before getting to the Ruins of St. Paul, I took photoes in Largo do Senado, St. Lawrence's Church and The Official Provisional Municipal Council of Macau.

Passing through a street of specialties, I got to the Ruins of St. Paul's.
The Ruins of St. Paul's refer to the facade of what was originally the Church of Mater Dei built in 1602-1640, destroyed by fire in 1835, and the ruins of St. Paul's College, which stood adjacent to the Church. As a whole, the old Church of Mater Dei, St. Paul's College and Mount Fortress were all Jesuit constructions and formed what can be perceived as the Macau's "acropolis". Close by, the archaeological remains of the old College of St. Paul stand witness to what was the first western-style university in the Far East, with an elaborate academic programme. Nowadays, the facade of the Ruins of St. Paul's functions symbolically as an altar to the city.

After visiting all the tourism attractions in Macau, I walked back to Grand Lisboa Hotel to take the free shuttle bus to Macau Outer Harbor Ferry Terminal to transfer to the bus to Venetian Macau Resort Hotel.

Ceiling in Venetian Macau Resort Hotel is also a work of art.
I was so lucky to see the snow flakes falling in front of the Venetian Macau Resort Hotel. (The snow is artificially made)
City of Dreams is opposite to the Venetian Macau Resort Hotel. In City of Dreams, I enjoyed the show named Dragon's Treasure. The ticket price is MOP50.
The show is amazing. If you think that the ticket of The House of Dancing Water is too expensive, you can choose to watch the Dragon's Treasure.
The Galaxy Hotel is next to Venetian Macau. Right in the central hall, crystal glass columns catched my eye balls.
Through it was December 31, I could see the giant Santa in Galaxy Macau Hotel.
From the Galaxy Macau, I took the free shuttle bus to the other famous street in Macau - Rua do Cunha. What's the attracting points of this street? You can find the answer from the following article. >> One Day in Rua Do Cunha, Macau
