📍 Second Stop: Ruins of St. Paul’s
A trip to Macau isn’t complete without visiting its landmark. It’s about a 20-minute walk from New Lisboa. Though it’s a popular tourist spot, try to position yourself on the right staircase or at the less crowded Love Lane and Little Cannon Hill for great photo ops. 📸 Don’t skip the nearby street food stalls where you can indulge in delicious pork jerky and ice cream from Maiko. 🍦
