Phespirit goes to China
Macau     March 2003


LARGO DO SENADO - SENATE SQUARE

At the midpoint of the Avenido do Infante D. Henrique / Avenido de Almeida Ribeiro axis is Largo do Senado, the main city square.

The Portugese influence here is ubiquitous.

A-MA TEMPLE - THE TEMPLE OF A-MA

Whilst the entire population of China took it in turns to be photographed at the entrance of the A-Ma Temple, Phespirit waited for an opening in the crowd to get a clear shot.

This was the best he could manage.

Macau, China: A-Ma Temple - The Temple Of A-Ma.

FORTALEZA DO MONTE - MONTE FORT

From the roof of Fortaleza do Monte, this is the view west over the city rooftops towards Guangdong province in China.

These days the Portugese fort is a home to the excellent Museum of Macau; one of the better city museums Phespirit has visited.
