More of our DIY cultural tour of Macau.

While not as busy as Senado Square, St. Dominic's Square is still pretty busy since it is like the center from which smaller streets branch off to notable destinations (one branch leads to Senado Square, another leads to the Cathedral, and another leads to Sao Paulo).

The busy shopping district is also home to St. Dominic's Church, an 18th century building that is said to be one of Macau's best preserved colonial baroque structures.

Located at Rua da Felicidade, Fat Siu Lau is said to be the oldest existing restaurant in Macau featuring Portuguese-style cuisine. Fat Siu Lau was established by Mr. Wong Man Sing and is now run by the 3rd and 4th generations of Wong Man Sing’s family.

More of our DIY cultural tour of Macau.



Translated, Rua da Felicidade means "Happiness Street." The street got its queer name from the fact that it was once the heart of Macau's red light district. Now it's an exotic/vintage shopping street with awesome wares and legit Chinese architecture.

Our first out-of-the-country trip together was a trip to Hong Kong and Macau. After spending our first day in Hong Kong, we took a ferry to Macau and had a DIY-cultural tour.

This is the Roman Amphitheatre at the Macau Fisherman's Wharf.
