Macau has a large variety of colonial architecture. Here are some examples in the city centre :

Meanwhile, a lot of residentials hover behind and around the colonial buildings :

The alleys around this neighborhood are narrow but bustling with activity.

Here is an example of a rich Chinese man's house back in the colonial era.

Many balconies are caged up, even on the higher floors. I wonder how crooks can climb so high to break into one of these units.

More residential areas - Macau is quite dense even though it doesn't have a lot of tall residential skyscrapers like in Hong Kong.

Even though these buildings don't look very pretty, Macau is currently booming with a lot of construction for casinos.
