The Garden

After church we had lunch at a restaurant near my apartment, then since we all like walking adventures, we took a taxi, all the way to the end of the second island of Macau, which is Coloane. It is the least built up part of Macau, while there we visited a garden of medicinal plants, a little zoo and a nature center. Then we took a bus up the highest point of Macau, a wooded hill of 560 feet. It is actually quite a steep wooded hill. At the top is a 65' statue of A Ma, a patron goddess of the fisherman. The temple there and the statue were built in 1999 to commemorate the return of Macau to China.
