What should I pay attention to when traveling to Macau alone?

1. I won’t go into details about customs clearance and transportation. Presumably your relatives and friends around you have been here and have a lot of experience.

2. If you want to change money, you can change it at ICBC in the mainland, and it is very cost-effective. The process is like this: When you go to ICBC (from the Mainland), first ask if there are any Hong Kong dollars today. Then if there are any, log into online banking and click on foreign exchange settlement and sale. If you don't understand, ask the lobby manager. Personally, I think you seem to want to go back and forth on the same day, so you don’t need much cash, so just change it to HKD500 in advance. Use your credit card to buy the rest! There are also currency exchange shops in Macau, but the exchange rates are average. If you exchange it for a few hundred yuan, it won't really make any difference. Alas, I just saw the news today that the RMB exchange rate has fallen again.

3. When you have just passed the customs (assuming you are crossing the border from Gongbei), you can go to the supermarket in front to buy a bottle of water or something, and you will have change.

4. Don’t you need coins to take the bus? You don’t have a bus pass yet! It doesn't matter, you are using Quick Pay, which seems to need to be operated at an ATM machine. Ask your card issuer. This requires a bank card with a chip. However, it seems that 99% of current bank cards have chips. Quick Pass is extremely convenient. Now I find that it can be used not only on buses, but also in many small shops such as milk tea shops. So you should open it as soon as possible.

5. The big hotels in Taipa have shuttle buses to some transportation hubs and major attractions. For example, if you want to go to the Macau Tower, I assume you want to bungee jump. Then you can take the bus from City of Dreams to City of Dreams after passing the customs (for example, Gongbei), and then take the bus from City of Dreams to the tourist tower. There are shuttle buses for these big hotels at various transportation hubs.

6. If you can take a taxi, take it. It's really hard to intercept.

7. It is still not recommended that you go back and forth on the same day. Because although Macau is small, there are many places to play. It is recommended that you stay for one or two nights. Even if you stay for two nights, you probably won’t be able to visit all the 28 (or 29) world heritage sites and major hotels in Taipa. Macau also has some cheap hotels. You can come for two nights first, then come back 3 months later and continue playing.

8. In the historical and cultural city area, you can first pick up a tourist map from the tourist bureau at the fountain, and then walk around that area. Because there are many world heritage sites in that area. More concentrated. There are also shuttle buses to COD (City of Dreams) and Galaxy in that area. It has nothing to do with whether Macau is a life of luxury or not, but when you travel, you have to spend money.
