The stone façade of a 17th-century Jesuit church, all that's left after a fire in 1835, standing at the top of a grand staircase, the symbol of Macau. It's part of the Historic Centre of Macau, a UNESCO site mixing Portuguese and Chinese heritage.


Walk down to the Senado Square with its wavy black-and-white mosaic paving. Try Portuguese egg tarts and Macanese food. Ferries and the bridge connect Macau with Hong Kong.
