MACAU TRIP 9 (ZHUHAI-SOUTH CHINA)

Am glad, we make a trip to Zhuhai, South China. It was so easy. We took a free shuttle bus from the front of the hotel and it took us only 15 minutes to reach the Macau/Gongbei Border. We were so excited and although it was the first time we were going to Zhuhai, it looked although we are seasoned traveller there. Everything is going so smoothly for us. We just followed the crowd. (lol)

We just passed the Macau Border and just followed the crowd and walked to Zhuhai Immigration Arrival Hall. Zhuhai is so modern with so many tall buildings coming up.

After going through the zhuhai immigration arrival hall, just step out and wow, the big Gongbei underground shopping mall is right in front of us. There are many restaurants in the underground shopping mall with very reasonable prices and many shops.

I bought so many stuff here...........yipeee.

After spending almost the whole day at the underground shopping centre, we decided to be more adventurous and head out to more department stores. Not sure where to go, the signboard say market turned right and plaza turned left. So we just turned left. Hahaha...we did the right thing.

We just walked out of the underground shopping centre.

We went to Wang Jia Department store. It is an eye opening. The departmental store was huge and I loved to watch the things and food the local bought. Too bad, they dont allow cameras in the departmental store.

Looked how clean the streets are.



Time to head back to the hotel. Walking towards Zhuhai departure hall.

MACAU TRIP 8 (STATUE OF GODDESS OF MERCY AND MACAU OBSERVATION TOWER)

We managed to find the Statue of Goddess of Mercy and Macau Observatory on the last day on our Macau trip. Was about 30 minutes walk from our hotel. Statue of Goddess of Mercy



Closer View of Macau Observatory Tower. It was a cloudy day as well as the bad pollution which explained the misty look of the photo.

That was the bridge that linked Macau Peninsula with Taipa.

MACAU TRIP 7 (RUINS OF ST. PAUL'S CHURCH)

The Ruins of St Pauls. In 1835 a fire erupted and destroyed the church and almost all the complex. Only the front facade was left.
