irtt's always great to ascend the Coloane Peak to behold the statue of the Goddess. Last year was no exception as the marble shone bright like a beacon on a rather dull day. It was an awe-inspiring sight. The Goddess spoke to our better natures

There is an interesting statue at Largo da Companhia de Jesus just in front of the steps leading up to the Ruins of St. Paul's. What you will see is a young Chinese girl passing over a lotus flower to a young Portuguese boy, framed by a tilted loop with a crane flying overhead. The monument is usually surrounded by hedges or holiday decorations. This statue is a symbol of the friendship between China and Portugal and is one of a handful of monuments around the city related to the reunification of Macau from Portugal to China as well as the cordial terms between the two nations. You can take nice pictures of the statue with the Ruins in the background. If you want unobscured pictures, make sure to visit early in the morning before the tourist groups arrive and crowds set in for the day.
