I went to see the ruins of Saint Paul

Good morning, all my wonderful friends here on Hive. I hope that all of you are doing well at the moment.

After eating at a popular restaurant in Macao, it was time to stroll around. It was already around 3 p.m.

Everywhere, the streets were crowded with people.

One of our main goal at this point of time is to visit the ruins of Saint Paul. The remaining main walls of Saint Paul.

One of my favourite places to visit in Macao is Pop Mart. I managed to stumble into one. My wife is a huge Popmart fan, so we went to this shop and checked out their blindboxes.

Some of the blindboxes that are available at the moment. There is the

Huge Skull Panda figure. This is worth a couple of thousand.

After visiting Pop Mart, we were out and about walking. There were a lot of people. Everyone seemed to have that same goal of heading to the ruins of Saint Paul. This is a popular place to take a photo when you visit Macao.

After squeezing into the small gaps with lots of people and moving along with the crowd. Finally, we reached the ruins.

The former wall of the church of Master Dei was built in the 1600s.

I did an AI regeneration from ChatGPT image generator to check out what this place would have looked like since it was once the largest church in Asia.

This is a rough generation of an image. I am usually curious. At times, I want to know what things used to be like or what happened.

After a bit of walking, I was finally in front of the main gate. There is a museum behind this wall. I found this part of the gate to be less crowded with people.

Felt like I was in Europe. The Portuguese influence in Macao can still be felt till today.

Portuguese language on the signs all over Macao.

I got myself a stamp from the temple nearby but I did not bring anything that I could stamp so I dug into my bag and found a receipt that I used to stamp.
