"Anyone who really wants to understand the mix of Chinese and Portuguese influences in Macau should start with a trip to Senado Square and St. Paul’s Cathedral. From the wavy monochrome tiles to the colorful pastel colonial buildings, this is a quintessential Macanese experience. Browse the temples and museums that hug the square before navigating a barrage of kitschy shops before landing at the doorstep of famous churches, including the Macau Cathedral, St. Domingo’s Church, and postcard darling Ruins of St. Paul’s. This famous facade is all that remains of a 17th-century Jesuit church, which was devastated by a fire in 1835." - Kate Springer
