It was interesting visit to a historical site. The buildings and architectures are European style as Macao was a colony of Portuguese until recently returned to China.

Thank you for viewing. Have a great day

@djohan,
Portuguese were at my country too! I heard very bad history about them! Anyway their architectures looks so great! Actually I thought this is a new born city! But now I got it wasn't!

Cheers~

thank you theguruasia, yes i think they were in many parts of the world, Macao was returned to China and they left some nice architectures

Surprisingly it does not look crowded. I thought this location would be a very large tourist area?
