East Asia Hotel

Macau


Not much of a hotel perhaps, but what a building! This green structure in a Chinese art-deco style stands out in this modest-looking neighbourhood. Too bad there's not enough space around it to get a good photo of it. Orchid Garden Restaurant inside serves value-for-money old-fashioned dim sum.
