HONG KONG: The Ruins of Saint Paul s Cathedral, Macau s most famous landmark, are filled with visitors and tour guides holding flags aloft in the run-up to China s golden week holiday.
It is a scene neighbouring Hong Kong has not experienced for more than a year since the Covid-19 pandemic arrived, putting the city into lockdown and keeping travellers away.
Capturing the buzz outside St Paul s in a live broadcast on Tuesday, Hong Kong restaurateur and YouTube celebrity Alex Yeung Kwun-wah spoke to a man surnamed Li from Shunde, in Guangdong province, who is visiting with his wife and son for the five-day holiday starting on May 1, Labour Day.
