Hi! New immigrants, listen to me give you a "Portuguese" road strategy
As a newcomer to a foreign land, have you ever been troubled by an unfamiliar environment? Are you looking for someone to guide you through the maze and help you get acquainted with the city as quickly as possible? Today, let me take you into Macau, the capital of Eastern and Western cultures, and appreciate its unique charm!
Get ready for the amazing journey! Remember to bring proof of identity with you and make sure you have enough data on your phone. While free WiFi can be found on the streets of Macau, it's recommended that you bring your own internet access for security reasons. As for the exchange of money, whether it is MOP or HKD, it can be used at the casino. However, for the convenience of dining and shopping, you may want to have some RMB, after all, mobile payments are so popular.
When it comes to clothing, lightweight sports gear is undoubtedly the way to go. You'll probably have to walk tens of thousands of steps in a day, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes. Don't underestimate the size of the city, its cultural connotation is enough to make you want to linger!
Gambling is perhaps Macau's best-known label, but it's also dotted with Portuguese colonial architectural heritage. Let's start with the highly regarded Grand Lisboa Hotel! Walk through the magnificent main entrance and you'll be amazed by its sumptuous décor. While you're spending a lot of money here, you might as well catch a glimpse of Grand Lisboa's unique "dominance" vibe.
Leaving the Grand Lisboa, a few hundred meters away is the world-famous Ruins of St. Paul's. Once upon a time, it was the tallest building in Macau, and today it remains one of the must-see landmarks for visitors. You can choose the staircase on the right to take a photo or find a great view from Love Alley and Little Fortress Slope to let your creativity go unleashed.
Leaving St. Paul's, you can take a 6 yuan bus to Fisherman's Wharf. Once a hub for local fishermen, it's now synonymous with nostalgia. The smell of the sea fills the air, and you can occasionally see fresh seafood that has just been salvaged. The wharf is surrounded by well-preserved old-style houses, and the balconies are covered with clothes to dry, which is a portrait of urban life. Stop for a moment and soak up the bustling scene of a former fishing village.
After viewing Fisherman's Wharf, we drove to the next check-in spot, the Venetian Hotel. Step inside and you'll be blown away by what you see. A meandering river runs through the hotel, flanked by towering European buildings, huge gondolas on the river's surface, and the singing of street performers. You can't believe it's an inland attraction! When night falls, the night sky inside the hotel will present a unique view, and the blue and purple dream zenith will undoubtedly become the best backdrop for your photo shoot today.
After leaving The Venetian, you'll arrive at the Hotel Parisian in no time. A half-scale Eiffel Tower stands in the atrium, extending the atmosphere of French romance infinitely. You can choose to take a break on the lawn under the tower, or find interesting shooting spots around the corner. However, it is advisable to look at the large glass bell tower in the middle of the garden and freeze a commemorative family portrait there.
Not far from Parisians, stands another iconic building, the ancient and solemn Big Ben. Once the most iconic example of British architecture, it is now the centerpiece of The Londoner Hotel. You can't miss the chance to take a photo here, dressed in a gentleman's outfit or an elegant lady's outfit that will make your photo stand out. In addition, the vicinity of this building is also an Internet celebrity check-in place, and a casual shot is enough to make a film.
