Life Advice! One must definitely capture these 5 spots when in Macau!
As someone who suffers from severe photo-taking embarrassment,
I surprisingly received a lot of compliments from friends on the photos I took in Macau this time!
I've summarized the photo-taking formula for going out as
Natural + Atmospheric + Don't focus on the face!
With a nice filter, taking good photos really becomes easier!
1️⃣ Ruins of St. Paul's
Ruins of St. Paul's Archway
The iconic Ruins of St. Paul's in Macau, to avoid a crowded shot, you must go at night! Find the steps and flowerbeds at the Ruins of St. Paul's, place the camera low and shoot from above, casually play with your phone or enjoy the scenery, the photos will turn out super natural and beautiful.
2️⃣ Grand Lisboa
Grand Lisboa Hotel
If you're staying on Macau Island, don't miss this spot! It's just a little way inside the alley next to the 7-11 opposite the Grand Emperor Hotel, and you can see the Grand Lisboa. Stand by the roadside looking at or away from the camera, the atmosphere is super strong! I took photos here during the day and at night, and personally, I prefer the night shot.
3️⃣ Eiffel Tower at The Parisian
The best spot is in the park next to The Londoner! The green lawn is really beautiful, and if you're like me with not much expressiveness, just walk back and forth in front of the Eiffel Tower and have a friend snap photos, the more exaggerated the live action, the better.
4️⃣ Wynn Palace
I really love the fountain and cable car at Wynn Palace, and they are super easy to photograph, but there are also super many people!!! My photo-taking embarrassment kicked in instantly... You can find a spot that is slightly facing the hotel, wait for a cable car to pass by, and then face slightly towards the camera, it would be even more beautiful with the fountain (which I didn't wait for 😭).
5️⃣ Macau Museum
Macau Museum
Sisters heading to the fort can mark this spot! The white walls of the Macau Museum are really photogenic, and I think it looks better on rainy days than sunny days, the retro vibe of Macau Island and a black umbrella🌂 are a perfect match!
Old, but clean and well maintained church. beautiful view of the city when you go on top of the hill. Must see area with nice street shopping.
Autumn is a fabulous season for visiting Ruin of St. Paul’s. However, there were too many people which made our team find it hard to get many good photos 🤭🤭
Strolling through Macau, the Ruins of Saint Paul's captivated me with its rich history and intricate architecture. As I climbed the steps, the weathered facade revealed tales of the past, creating a surreal atmosphere that transported me to a bygone era. Exploring the nearby streets, the fusion of Portuguese and Chinese influences in the vibrant culture left an indelible mark, making my visit to this UNESCO World Heritage site truly memorable.
The St Paul's Archway in Aomen, formerly known as the St Paul's Church, was built in the Ming Wanli 30 years (1602), and was burned by fire in the Qingdao Light 15 years (1835), only the remaining St Paul's Archway, now one of the signs of Macau, is also one of the eight Macau "Sanba Holy Places".
