Day 4: Hong Kong, Macau, Hong Kong
Early morning transfer you to the Macau Ferry Terminal to start today’s tour to the fascinating city of Macau. Like Hong Kong, Macau is a place where East meets West, albeit with a slight twist. On this tour you will be shown the charm of the Chinese and Portuguese heritages embraced in arrays of modernized architecture. Upon arrival in Macau, your tour begins with visits to a number of world heritage sites include the Na Tcha Temple and a section of the Old City Walls. This surviving segment of the City Wall was built in 1569. It is a rem- nant of an early Portuguese tradition of constructing defensive walls
around their port settlements. Next you will visit the Museum of Macau, which exhibits Macau’s history, people and culture. (Note: On Mondays, because the Museum of Macau is closed, it will be replaced by a visit to the Maritime Museum.) After the visit you will have time to explore Mount Fortress. This World heritage site was Macau's principal military defense structure, which was built conjunction with the Jesuits from 1617 to 1626. The fortress covers an area of 2.5 acres and is in the shape of a trapezoid. The tour continues to the landmark of Macau – the Ruins of St. Paul's Roman Catholic Church. This Roman Catholic Church was built in 1602 and burned by fire in 1835. Miraculously, fine art of carvings and statues can be seen on the surviv- ing facade. Stroll through Senado Square, the historic heart of Macau and also the location of one of its municipal markets, surrounded by several blocks of bustling street stalls. In the narrow streets, leading off the main square, a wealth of inexpensively priced goods of all kinds can be found. Next stop at the famous A-Ma Temple -
and historical sites or try to spot Hong Kong's outlying islands. During the tour there will also be a short stop at one of the Casinos in Macau as well as a buffet lunch at Fisherman’s Wharf. Transfer back to hotel for overnight. [B/L]
