David Beckham demonstrated his soccer skills on a Chinese TV show on Sunday (April 20), but aftewards, he swapped the three lions on his shirt — as in the England soccer uniform he wore during his playing days — for one large stone lion by the pool on April 23. 

The former soccer player posted a topless picture of himself near his hotel's swimming pool and revealed he has been having a fantastic time in the special administrative region of China.

He wrote on Facebook: "Having a great time in Macau at Venetian Macao."

The hotel was clearly pleased with the promotion and posted David's picture on their Facebook page before responding: "Our favourite #selfie! Welcome back David Beckham!"

Unsurprisingly, the post attracted more than 300,000 "likes" in an hour. 

David arrived in China on Saturday (April 19), just one day after celebrating wife Victoria Beckham's 40th birthday in Los Angeles. 

The couple also enjoyed a hike at the Grand Canyon.
