Ruins of St. Paul’s cathedralThe historic centre of Macao has just last year been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Our new camera is positioned opposite the famous ruins of St. Paul’s cathedral which is located right in the historic centre. Built in the beginning of the 17th century the church was destroyed by fire three times and rebuilt afterwards. After a last serious fire in the middle of the 19th century only the front wall sustained. Today, this facade with its wonderful statues, portals and engravings, is one of the greatest monuments to christian architecture in Asia. external link: Macau Tourism |

Geographical Features:
Macau's coastline is just over 40 km's and the Chinese border is less than 4 km's - giving you a rough indication of the size of Macau. Transport within the country is clearly not an issue!!! The land is predominantly flat with some rolling hills and lush vegetation.

Now Hong Kong have four pandas. But what about Macau? I think the China Government is right. Macau is too small. Not enough lands to build the panda museum. I hope Macau can have at least one panda or two pandas.
