What should I pay attention to when I go to Macau for the first time?

Macau is a casino-based tourism industry and one of the four largest casinos in the world. It is prosperous and splendid here, and some Portuguese-style buildings are still preserved. The common language is Cantonese, and pedestrians on the road are not only locals, but also tourists and workers from all over the world.

Climate Macao is divided into three regions: Macao Peninsula,

Aberdeen Island and Coloane Island. It covers an area of 23.5 square kilometers and has a population density of 25,000 people per square kilometer. Macao's climate belongs to subtropical monsoon climate, characterized by warm winter and hot summer, and concentrated rainfall, which is mainly concentrated in summer, followed by winter. The climate in Macau is changeable in summer, so check the weather before going out.

Currency Macao currency is called Macao currency, and there are two kinds of coins and paper money. Coins are 0. 1, 0.5, 1, 5, and banknotes are 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000. You can exchange some Macao dollars at the Bank of China in advance, and there are also places to exchange money at the gates and scenic spots in Macau. The exchange rate fluctuates from time to time. Generally, the ratio of RMB to MOP is about 1:0.8. Hong Kong dollars and RMB can be used directly in Macao, but most of them are charged at 1: 1, which will be a bit of a loss. Alipay and WeChat payment have been popularized in most scenic spots.

Macau is a gambling city, so it's best to carry a manuscript pass with you when entering and leaving the casino, which is convenient for the entrance personnel to check. The casino has raised the age limit to 2 1 year, which means that friends under 2 1 year can't enter the casino!

Remember to bring your passport when you get the visa. Macao endorsement must be included within the validity period. Oh, I won't tell you. A friend of mine went to Macau by boat from Hong Kong with the endorsement of Hong Kong. He was questioned in the "little black room" and then sent back to Hong Kong! If your Hong Kong and Macao Pass visa is an L visa (group visa), you need to come to Macau from Zhuhai, Shenzhen or the airport. Remember to buy a group visa from Taobao. If the decision is too sudden, you can go directly to the tourist counter near the port, and the price is around 40 yuan. If you pass through Hong Kong, you generally don't need a group visa. You can also prepare one just in case.

When queuing for customs clearance, someone may come and ask you to bring cigarettes. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, try not to pay attention to it.

The transportation in Macao is mainly taxis, buses and casino shuttle buses. Generally, airports, ports and docks are equipped with free shuttle buses from major casino hotels, including Venetian, Galaxy, Jinsha and New Portugal. These free shuttle buses generally have special routes to the urban area. The streets of Macao are very narrow, most of them are one-way streets, and they are in the opposite direction to the mainland. Everyone should pay attention to safety when walking or crossing the road.

Taxis are cheap, starting at 9 Australian dollars per 1500 meters, and then adding 1 Australian dollars per 220 meters, and charging 1 Australian dollars per minute. If you have luggage, you will be charged 3 Australian dollars per piece. From Macau Peninsula to Coloane Island, in addition to the fare, an additional 5 Australian dollars will be charged, and

Children will receive 2 Australian dollars when they arrive at the road ring. There is also a telephone taxi service in Macao, and people with international driver's licenses can also rent a car, with an average of about 350 Australian dollars per day and 380 Australian dollars on weekends.

Network: I almost forgot to introduce the most important network! China Mobile can open unlimited traffic packages in Macau, but the network speed is slightly slower, which is 3G; If you stay longer, you can buy a local CTM or digital communication card in Macau.
