What is it like to travel in Macau (2)? Let’s talk about Macau’s “richness”

Macau is actually a place that does not treat money as money, probably because casinos are the most important economic lifeline of the entire city.

In fact, the cost of gambling is very low for the seller. It only requires a deck of playing cards, as well as some labor costs and water and electricity bills. In exchange for these low costs, there are millions and tens of millions of profits.

When gambling in Macau, for ordinary people, the possibility of winning is actually not high. They usually lose tens of thousands. After losing, some waved goodbye to this place. Just like after traveling to a scenic spot, I will remember: a visit to such and such a place has the same nature.

But some people can't think about it, and then they jump into the sea. It is said that in Macau, three or four people jump into the sea every day. Macau also has a famous sea view tower. Jumping into the sea from that tower costs one or two thousand Hong Kong dollars.

But if you are not over 21 years old, you can't enter the casino. For example, like me...it's actually quite a pity.

The other side of Macau is very prosperous and lively. You can tell from the word casino, just like those movies made by Stephen Chow, it is indeed such a scene. In addition, there is no shortage of power-for-money transactions in casinos.

In a place like Macau, there are many large and small casinos, and most of them are called entertainment cities. Casinos, malls, hotels, shopping malls, etc. are all integrated. There are many famous ones, such as The Venetian, The Parisian, Four Seasons Hotel, City of Dreams, Sands Center, etc.

Most of these entertainment cities are built by wealthy bosses who spend huge sums of money, and they will also add very exquisite decorations to these hotels. For example, indoor fountains, tropical rainforest landscapes, artificial skies, the one-to-one Eiffel Tower, Venetian water bridges, and European-style buildings, etc. You can often see some of the landscapes in the hotel that many people who travel to Macau have. Take photos as a souvenir.

This entertainment city and city center, both in terms of buildings and streets, are in sharp contrast to the slums.

Malls and malls are often connected. It doesn't mean that there is a road between them, but it means that the interior of the mall can be directly connected. This kind of design allows you to complete all your shopping directly in the cool air-conditioned room without being exposed to the scorching sun outside in the summer.

The rents for shops in these malls are also incredibly high. Therefore, those who can afford such expenses and still be profitable in such places are often the world's first-tier brands. You can see many, many top brands in shopping malls such as Macau. LV, Dior, Armani... (forgive me for not knowing much) there are many balabala brands.

In fact, this is true in big cities and economically developed areas. I went to Shanghai some time ago, and the large shopping malls in the city center were like this, and they were all genuine and big-name stores.

Putting aside the price, shopping is a kind of enjoyment. The shopping environment in Macau is very good, but there may be some minor language problems. After all, Mandarin is not the official language there. Maybe you What I heard was "Macau Mandarin".

The decoration of the mall store is exquisite and elegant, and the salespersons all wear uniforms and are very polite. The most important thing is that they are very beautiful. There, you can often see some foreign salesmen from the Middle East, Vietnam and Europe. Most of them are blond and very handsome. They will stand at the door of the store like British gentlemen, with their hands crossed in front of them and their feet together, looking at each other. Look ahead and nod hello to you. Or greeting with a smile like a European lady.
