Notes:

Transportation: It is recommended to ride the entire journey The free casino bus is very convenient. The unified bus price is 6 MOP (common in Hong Kong dollars and RMB). The starting price of a taxi is about 15 yuan.

Communication: You can buy communication cards for Hong Kong and Macao, or you can directly buy overseas Internet traffic for about 10 yuan a day. 3G network has unlimited traffic. It is quite cost-effective if the time is short. You can buy it directly with Alipay.

Currency: Hong Kong dollars and Macau Pataca RMB are both accepted in Macau, but they are basically calculated according to the value of Macau pataca. The exchange rate is generally not calculated, so there will be exchange losses when using Hong Kong dollars and RMB. The minimum withdrawal fee at ATMs is HKD 100 and MOP 500. Day 1: Zhuhai to Macau

From Zhuhai to Macau, enter from Gongbei Port and walk to Macau. Now, as long as you hold a Hong Kong and Macao pass and a valid endorsement, you can go through customs by yourself. You need to verify your face and fingerprints once you leave the customs and enter the customs once.

The whole process takes about 20 minutes, so it is most convenient to enter Macau from Zhuhai. Of course, after the opening of the Hong Kong-Macau-Zhuhai Bridge, you can drive directly into Macau. This is definitely a milestone development in the connection between mainland China and Hong Kong and Macau. Travel from mainland China to Hong Kong and Macau will become more and more convenient.

Macau is divided into three major areas: the Macau Peninsula, Taipa Island and Coloane Island. The old town is the Macau Peninsula, dominated by historical attractions such as the Lisboa Hotel and Ruins of St. Paul's. The area where tourists are concentrated, Taipa Island is the main It is a new urban area where Venetians, Parisians, and Wynn Palace luxury hotels and casinos gather. Coloane Island is sparsely populated and is suitable for island vacations.

Guanye Street

Guanye Street is a food street in Taipa. It is also an old street with a long history in Macau. The whole street is only about 100 meters long, and Macau food is sold on both sides. Specialty delicacies, such as egg tarts, pork chop buns, handmade dim sum, Portuguese dishes, all of Macau’s famous specialty snacks can be found here. The streets have become very commercialized and are mostly visited by tourists, but coming to Macau Guanye Street Night Market is a food business card. If it is difficult for you to discover the street food in Macau, visiting Guanye Street is a good choice. You can basically taste all the specialties while strolling down this street.

Address: Carmo Parish, Taipa

Transportation: Get off at Guanye Street, Taipa on Route 33, cost 6 yuan. It is recommended to take the free bus from the casino hotel to the Venetian and Parisian areas.

Alley Food Stalls

If you want to experience authentic Macau food, the Alley Food Stalls on Guanye Street must be recommended, the taste is particularly authentic. I have eaten curry beef brisket noodles in many places during my stay in Macau, but the one in the alley is completely different. It has a super strong curry flavor. The brisket and beef tendons are cooked and soft but not rotten. The fish balls are chewy and the taste is the best among all the ones I have eaten in Macau. . Therefore, I definitely recommend everyone to try this curry beef brisket noodles.

Address: Guanye Street

Puyun Museum

Puyun Residential Museum is adjacent to Guanye Street , are five small Portuguese-style villas built in Portugal. The fresh color of macaron green makes this place one of the eight scenic spots in Macau. It not only records the interweaving and integration of Chinese and Portuguese culture and life, but also has a unique style. A place where internet celebrities check in. The furniture and photos displayed inside the residence all come from the real living conditions of these high-ranking Portuguese officials 100 years ago. They have a strong European style in Portugal, but they also have traces of traditional Chinese living habits. When you come here, you can immerse yourself in what Macau looked like in that special era. Walking through it feels like stepping back in time, but the architecture is still full of fashion today.

I have been to the Venetian before in Macau, but I couldn’t help but come here this time. After all, the replica of the Venetian river in the Grand Canal Mall is so realistic. Even if it is cloudy outside, the sky is always blue inside. White clouds. The Grand Canal Mall is a very inclusive shopping area. It has a complete range of brands with prices ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands, suitable for tourists of all consumption levels. Therefore, there is an endless stream of tourists coming here to shop. Compared with other hotels, there is no This is a real shopping area with famous brand stores that everyone is interested in. If you are lucky, you can see the models on the catwalk and walk directly through the small bridges and flowing water of Venice.

Hotel

In terms of overall cost-effectiveness in Macau, Hao_Hotel is already very cost-effective. It is difficult to stay in such a comfortable hotel in Macau at such a price. The price of the superior twin room I stayed in this time is about 700 yuan, and about 1,000 yuan on holidays. The overall environment is comfortable and the service is good. The only problem is that it is far from the city and there are not many dining options around. There are two buses but there are The attractions are almost useless. The hotel provides a free shuttle bus from 9:00 to 21:00, which can go to the city and the Sea Cube transfer station. It leaves every hour. Therefore, the problem of the hotel's remote location is basically solved.

Location:

The hotel is located on Gao Kening Gentleman Street, about a 20-minute walk from the city center. Shopping and dining around are inconvenient, which is also the main reason for the hotel’s pricing. In fact, it is impossible to get this price in the central area. But the advantage of being remote is that it is very quiet, facing the Macau Tower, and the night view is great.

Transportation Guide:

Roads 9 and 16 can go to the city center and close the gate, and the cost is 6 yuan. The free shuttle bus provided by the hotel makes it easier to get out. When you come back, you basically have to walk or take a taxi.

Facilities and environment:

It is located on the mountainside, with great scenery and quiet surroundings. The guest rooms have been renovated in a relatively simple Chinese-European style. The bathroom is equipped with a bathtub, but there is some odor in the toilet. It should be a problem during the design and installation. Disposable toiletries, slippers, drinking water, etc. are provided and cleaned every day. There are windows but they can't be opened, so ventilation in the room is a problem.

Service experience:

The service is very attentive and thoughtful. You can store your luggage. Check-in is at 15:00 and check-out is at 11:00 every day. Although it is a bit confusing, it is the same time in Macau. So it’s still different from mainland China.

Travel summary:

Overall, if you consider cost-effectiveness, this is a good choice, and the living environment is relatively comfortable. The transportation is really not convenient. The accommodation environment is directly proportional to the price. The next day: Fisherman's Wharf

Fisherman's Wharf is a large shopping and entertainment mall imitating European architecture. It is close to the Hong Kong and Macau piers and has moved European Greek temples, ancient Roman Colosseum and other buildings together. Most of the shops are closed and deserted, and there are not many tourists. The scenery is great and perfect for taking pictures, but the weather still depends on your character.

Water Palace

A Portuguese restaurant located in Fisherman’s Wharf. It has a beautiful Mediterranean blue decoration style and offers Portuguese dishes and Macau specialties. Originally, it was just because it was dinner time. I randomly entered a store, but it gave me a full surprise. Ma Jiexiuqiu gave full marks to the pork chop and rice. The sauce and texture were just right. There was a difference between 1 point and 100 points compared to the rice for dinner.

So when you come to Fisherman's Wharf, you must try this Portuguese cuisine, the price is very affordable.

Address: Fisherman's Wharf Per capita: NT$80

Wynn Palace

Wynn Palace is also one of the most luxurious resort hotels in Macau, and the interior is really built like a palace Generally glittering, there is an item that you must experience when you come to Wynn Palace, which is the water cable car. You can enter Wynn Palace through the free water cable car.

Wait for the staff arrangement in front of the cable car. In order to maintain privacy, passengers you do not know will not be seated together. You can reach the palace in about two minutes. You still need to take the cable car to get out. It is a good experience project.

Everything is as good as a bag

The dim sum shop in Wynn Palace has a more affordable price than this one in all the streets in Macau. Milk tea starts at 16 yuan, and bread is more than 10 yuan. You can try the Hong Kong-style milk cap here, which is very rich in flavor, and the freshly baked egg tarts are also a good choice.

The Parisian

The essence of the Parisian Hotel is the gorgeous "Eiffel Tower" at night. The gorgeous light show is even more brilliant than that in Paris. The lights turn on at 6 o'clock every night, 15 Then the music started and the light show started.

Ferris Wheel

The Figure 8 Ferris Wheel in Studio City, the figure 8 shining at night, is not only a landscape, you can also ride the Ferris wheel to overlook the night view of Macau.

Bamboo Bay Beach is located in the south of Coloane Island in Macau, half an hour’s drive from the main city of Ruins of St. Paul’s. It is also the farthest attraction in Macau. The sea water here is relatively turbid. , but here you can see a completely different scene from the urban area of ??Macau, a quiet small fishing village. Although every household there is an exquisite villa, and few pedestrians are seen on the road. A 20-minute walk eastward along Bamboo Bay Beach will bring you to Macau’s Black Veil Beach.

Address: Coloane Island

Bus: 21A26A6 yuan ticket: free

Wynn Money Tree

The money tree performance at Wynn Hotel is really impressive People expect that ten minutes before the show starts, the outside of the performance venue will be crowded with people, so if you want to watch it up close, you either have to get up early or go to reserve a seat in advance. Enter from the main entrance of the Wynn Hotel lobby, follow the passage on the left, and reach the Money Tree performance hall at the end. This performance worth hundreds of millions is being anticipated by unknown tourists.

The performance venue is just a circular area of ??a few square meters, with golden carvings of the twelve zodiac animals on top, echoing the circular golden dome below. The lights dimmed at the beginning of the performance, the majestic music sounded, and the twelve zodiac signs above the head rotated like a Bagua array, like the passage of time in the universe and the continuous reincarnation of the twelve zodiac signs. Brilliant lights appear, and the giant round crystal chandelier slowly descends. At the same time, the golden dome below blooms, and the golden tree breaks out of the ground, with a bright and joyful light, and slowly rises up accompanied by the cheers of tourists.

Performance location: Macau Peninsula Wynn Hotel Phase 2

Performance time: every half hour from 10:00 to 22:00, the 8-minute performance is free

Ruins of St. Paul's

One of the eight scenic spots in Macau, it is the current Ruins of St. Paul's in Macau. Although it is called an archway, it is actually just a wall of a church. The church was built in 1835. It burned down, but the main wall, which cost 30,000 taels of silver, still stands today. The Ruins of St. Paul's area is concentrated in gourmet souvenirs, restaurants, drugstores and cosmetics shopping, and the prices are naturally relatively high. Because I have been there before and have visited all the attractions in the Ruins of St. Paul's, including the Fortress and Our Lady of the Rosary Church (for the route, you can see the Tuniu method I wrote before), so this time I casually visited Ruins of St. Paul's to end the trip. .

Macau-Zhuhai

It is equally convenient to go back to Zhuhai from Macau. You can take free buses from various casinos and hotels to the border gate. The next two steps are self-service clearance.

Summary

Macau is really not just a casino. The clean streets, natural island scenery, and delicious food are all reasons for my nostalgia. If you study carefully You will find that the free bus from the hotel is more convenient than public transportation. You get on the bus at a fixed area and there are buses to major landmarks.

Macau itself is not big, and the tourist attractions are concentrated. You can connect the tourist attractions by taking a bus every day. Most large consumer places in Macau have now opened WeChat and Alipay services, but some places only accept cash.

So it is very necessary to prepare some Macau patacas. If you want to take public transportation, it is recommended to apply for the Macau Pass, otherwise you will have to change change every time. You must know that a bottle of water in Macau costs 8 patacas, which is too difficult to exchange for change.
