MPU is almost my first impression of Macao. This time here, the renovation of MPU's front gate finally finished, so I decided to place one cache at this ideal place. Hope you enjoy it.
Tips:
From the gate, go across Rua de Luís Gonzaga Gomes, and check the several metal poles nearby... "step on and grab"
