MACAU // All Hail The Grand Lisboa


Last weekend I took my first ever trip to Macau, the ex-Portuguese SAR of China and gambling capital of the East. 

While I didn't enter a single casino on my trip, they still managed to photobomb my snaps of the beautiful old town. Chief culprit was the Grand Lisboa, an architectural monstrosity that looms over Macau like an incoming 90's spaceship on Armageddon Day. 

"Designed" by by Hong Kong architects Dennis Lau and Ng Chun Man, the Grand Lisboa describes itself as an "iconic" building and a "testament to extraordinary elegance".

OK babes.

The Grand Lisboa is one of Macau's main casinos, which combined generate around 70% of the government's revenue; a fact that perhaps explains how they earned permits for such a hideous building.

Agree or disagree? Tweet me, I'd love to hear from you.
