You may think China is a long way from Australia, but it is worth it. Leal Senado is a wonderful relaxing enjoyable place. There are many elegant sites and good shops. Go to China/ Macau to be there. It is THE PLACE TO BE!

These luxury properties are members of an elite group of hotels that exhibit an exceptionally high degree of service and hospitality. These properties display an original design, elegant room décor, exceptional dining, and meticulous grounds. The flawless execution of guest services is the staff's prevailing concern

If you take a detour from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong, you will find this a slower pace with a mediterranean feel. The western architecture in a Chinese environment presents an interesting contrast. I forget the name of the shop, but the place with the cow in the sign has a great ginger milk dessert that can be enjoyed hot or cold. It is the consistency of pudding/custard and has a refreshing hint of ginger.
