Retrace Macau's Christian heritage at Ruins of St. Paul's, one of the region's landmark attractions. Built by the Portuguese in the 17th century, the church was originally one of the largest Christian shrines in Asia. A 19th-century fire destroyed much of the original complex, but the ornate southern facade still stands as a reminder of the building's former grandeur. A steel stairway provides visitors with access to the top, while the onsite museum houses artifacts providing insight into the history and art of Christian faith in the Far East.

Iconic landmark for Macau. It is avery popular tourist place, so literally you still find groups of tourist all day round. Tips for taking a good picture without many tourist: wake up early and go there before 7.30am.

Nice place. Near a vibrant market. Don't miss out on the adjoining fort, temple and interesting narrow lanes

Lots of food from the kind helpful vendors to try. View is great when the stairs aren't full of tourists. Fantastic ambience during the evening
