São Francisco Xavier (Coloane) 聖方濟各堂區(路環)Saint Francis Xavier is south of Taipa (氹仔), with Cotai, they form the main island of Macau, China
My bike tour‘s unexpected, joyous and dangerous due to my own inability. A grad student at Uni of Macau who knew the island well takes me for a ride.
First thing first, getting the egg tart and a short hop to lunch at Chan Seng Kei at Largo Eduardo Marques square (next to the yellow chapel St. Francis).

The yellow facade Chapel, baroque style St. Francis is the center of the Coloane (address: Rua do Caetano, Largo Eduardo Marques, Coloane). It’s built in 1928, facing the 1910 monument commemorating the local victory over pirates on Largo Eduardo Marques and the Shisanmen Waterway. The restaurant Chan Seng Kei where we’ve lunch is to the south side of the church and Largo Eduardo Marques square.

Next stop is Kun Iam Temple Coloane (Templo de Kun Iam 路環观音古廟)

Our destination ends up at the Cheoc Van Beach (Bamboo Bay), on the South/East China Sea. It’s smaller and cleaner than the Hac Sa Beach 黑沙海灘 Baía de Hác Sá) on the east.

Macau, China
A water stage production that runs 90 minutes at resort/casino City of Dreams (新濠天地) in Cotai, south of Coloane. I enjoyed it, in spite of a rather sad day: went to two beaches and a water show but didn’t swim! It’s just so inhumane, unthinkable. And a fall from the biking adventure just adds salt to my injury.
The A section tickets cost HK$980 (abt US$126). In the mist of watering, there’s an act of motorcycling: it fits a circus but with a water production?

Macau, China
The SAR (region) consists of (wiki map) Macao penisular and island of islands of Taipa and Coloane (both are now connected by Cotai 路氹城, a land fill – not a landfill).
Needless to say, change is inevitable. As the local would say, since Macao is so tiny, you can’t get lost on the streets BUT you would inside the casinos. I’ll have to agree.

We don’t normally see them do ads in the USA but many would sell out elsewhere. Scarlett Johansson pitches for Huawei phones (in Shanghai) and Bradley Cooper who graduated from Georgetown in 1993 does Haagen Dazs ice cream (in Macau). Chinese market is increasingly important and powerful, commending the top talents. Matt Damon is starring in the Great Wall by Zhang Yimou, coming out Feb 2017. Dr. Strange has Hong Kong and Wang.

The little gamblers’ heaven has become heavenlier since China took back from the Portuguese in 1999 (2 years after Hong Kong) and opened gaming, which used to be monopolized Sir Stanley Ho for 40 years, 1962-2002 (wiki).
