Macau

Sun Yat Sen Memorial House

• Memorial home to Dr Sun Yat Sen, founder of the modern Chinese Republic. The house, built in Moorish style, was built by his family to house relics of the revolutionary leader who practiced medicine in Macau for some years prior to the overthrow of the Manchu Emperors of the Ching Dynasty on the Mainland in 1940.

Temple of the Goddess A-ma

• The oldest Chinese temple in Macau with inscriptions dating back more than six centuries. The temple is, in fact, a complex of temples; some dedicated to A-ma and others to Kun Yam, the Chinese Queen of Heaven.

The Ruins of St. Paul

• The most famous sight in Macau, St. Paul was designed by an Italian in the early 17th century and built with the assistance of Japanese Christian artisans. The magnificent building overlooks the old walls of the city of Macau. In 1853, the church caught fire and burnt to the ground, leaving only the facade.
