Which scenic spots in Macau must be visited
Now that Macau has resumed tourism, my friends, you can plan to travel to Macau, but you haven't traveled for a long time. Do you know where it will be more interesting now? The following small series will introduce the attractions that must be visited in Macau.
Crazy Hall Inclined Lane
Surrounded by the bustling Macau Peninsula, it is hidden in the crazy hall inclined lane in Costco, but it is another quiet and peaceful scene different from the downtown area: low houses inside and outside, surrounded by green roses; Various art exhibition posters are posted on the mottled concrete wall. The crazy hall inclined lane has a history of more than 511 years. Stones from Portugal are paved with streets, buildings in southern Europe painted with cherry blossom powder, mint green and goose yellow, and kapok with towering trunks and blooming flowers are all worth visiting.
The street name of "Crazy Tang Xiexiang" can be traced back to 1569. It is said that at that time, there were many leprosy patients in Macao. Gianni Lao, the first bishop of Macao Catholicism, could not bear their displacement, and invested to build a leprosy hospital. Later, a small church was built next to the hospital. Because the church was dedicated to praying for leprosy patients, it was also called the "crazy hall".
At the end of the inclined lane of Crazy Hall, there is the "Kindness Hall Pozai House", which was built over a hundred years ago. On the first floor of the museum, in addition to regular exhibitions of works by different artists, there is also a souvenir shop where you can buy Macao graffiti postcards and special goods.
Fulong New Street
Talking about the places worth visiting in Macau Peninsula, you can't leave the "Fulong New Street".
This street used to be the most prosperous commercial street in Macao, and it was also one of the birthplaces of Macao's gambling industry. Fulong New Street is divided into upper and lower sections. In the upper section, there are brothels and teahouses. At the peak, there were more than 61, but now there is nowhere to be found. In the lower part of the street, there are smoking rooms and restaurants. It was not until the end of World War II that the Australian and Portuguese governments began to ban smoking and prostitution, and the grand occasion of staying in the scene and singing every night on Fulong New Street gradually disappeared.
As night falls, red lanterns are hung on Fulong New Street, and restaurants, restaurants, snack stalls and sugar water shops are lined up. The wooden door panels and door bolts are very chronological, which not only attracts gourmets to enjoy food here, but also is a sacred place for many directors. Isabella, starring Liang Luoshi, 2146, starring Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Faye Wong, and Butterfly, starring the gambling king's daughter He Chaoyi, have also been here for filming.
Walk along Fulong Street in the direction of Shiliupu. The buildings and signs in traditional Chinese characters on both sides are full of historical sense. Walking on the arcade shopping street, the past grand scene of busy people is like a lifetime ago.
Love Lane
There is a folk legend in Macau. Anyone who walks through Love Lane will soon meet his beloved one.
The love alley, with a total length of about 51 meters, has a history of more than 81 years. The neoclassical buildings on both sides are full of European customs, walking in the alley, as if stepping on a European path.
The newly opened Nordic-style cafe in the alley attracts many young people. In Japanese-style ice cream shops, the signature matcha-flavored cone is popular and always sold out early. Casually taking pictures in love lane is also a beautiful photo of amazing friends circle.
Maybe everyone has such a place in their heart, where many beautiful things in the past are sealed. Every time they are opened, colorful memories jump into their mouths like chocolate beans and melt in their hearts.
Fisherman's Wharf
Macau is a magical city. Once upon a time, it was a frontier place, and the wheel of history rolled forward, carrying it on the road of trade intermediary, ushered in glorious years, and then the rise of gambling and tourism brought huge profits to Macao. All things happen, for Macao, honor and disgrace and ups and downs are all caught off guard, just like gambling king Eric _, who went to Macao alone when he was young, and never thought he would have such a legendary life.
If you want to follow the footsteps of a generation of gambling kings, you can go to the Fisherman's Wharf in addition to the old and new Portuguese entertainment venues.
Fisherman's Wharf in Macau covers an area of more than 1 million square meters
. Many parts of it are reclaimed from the sea. It was built with the investment of MOP 1.85 billion by gambling king Eric _ and ZhouJinHui. It was unveiled and put into trial operation on February 31, 2115 by then Macau Chief Executive He Houhua and Fisherman's Wharf Chairman Eric _.
In addition to gathering buildings with southern European style, it is also the center of looking around Macao: the sea facing the blue waves in the east and the Friendship Bridge with post-modern design concept. On the other three sides, there are the Hong Kong-Macao Wharf, the new 811-companion department store with complete goods, the palace-style gambling boat "Macau Palace", the five-star hotel Mandarin Oriental Hotel, the majestic Macao Cultural Center and Lotus Square.
Dragon Ring and Portuguese Rhyme
People who have lived in Macao for a long time will think of Dragon Ring and Portuguese Rhyme for a walk in their leisure time. Looking up from afar, the sparkling end is the extremely luxurious Galaxy Casino, as well as the newly-built Melco Cinema and Parisians in recent two years. History and modernity overlap in the same time and space, like a beautiful flower separated by a cloud, with an indescribable charm.
"Dragon Ring" is the old name of Macau _ Zi, while "Portuguese Rhyme" refers to the Portuguese architectural style here. Five green villas, completed in 1921, were once the official residences of senior officials of the Macao government, and now they have been converted into museums, exhibition halls and guesthouses respectively.
The unique Portuguese-rhyme villa, romantic silhouette and unattainable luxury fantasy have attracted many prospective couples in Macao to take wedding photos here.
Luhuan
Unlike casinos, it is full of luxury and danger. The life of the small fishing village here in Luhuan is quiet and leisurely, and "simplicity and simplicity" is its deepest feeling for tourists. It's like accidentally straying into a peach blossom garden filled with the smell of cream and seawater. The sea breeze is slight, the waves sound, the chairs in front of the library are lazily basking in the sun, and the neighbors are sitting on the stone benches under the trees drinking tea, which is quiet and leisurely.
At the roundabout, you can also find
"The Best Egg Tart Shop in Macau"-Andrew's Bakery. From early morning to evening, there are endless diners who patronize this time-honored brand that has been in operation for 2119, and it is by no means a minority to buy dozens of Portuguese tarts and take them home. Each egg tart with crispy skin has a strong egg flavor, and the surface is raised with black broken spots because of caramel.
Macao is like this, with a romantic and simple side. Stroll through the streets of the fishing village on a random morning, occasionally stop to find an unknown shop, have a cup of milk coffee or toast, and slowly finish a simple day of literature and art.

This place in Macau is actually very interesting, but the limelight in Hong Kong has overshadowed it, so this small series will tell you what interesting places there are in Macau and what delicious things there are.
A detailed guide to eating, drinking and having fun in Macau 2118
Before I came to Macau, I thought it would take a long bridge to go from Zhuhai to Macau. When I arrived, I found that the two places were connected, with only a small barrier between them. After crossing this gate, I entered a new world.
Here, the currency in circulation is MOP, and the common language is Cantonese. Besides locals, pedestrians on the road are more tourists and laborers from all over the world.
In the first year of work, I will also go sightseeing with my friends in various tourist areas in Macau, follow the online food guide and send home a large number of meat shops and almond cakes.
It is slowly discovered that these online sites are marked with "must-see attractions" and "must-eat foods", which are places that most locals will not go to, and there will not be too many surprises except crowds and crowds.
As a Cantonese, after comparison, I feel that all kinds of old shops in Macau, such as preserved meat, porridge and noodles, and double-skin milk, are not as delicious as those in Guangdong.
However, the arrival of the Portuguese left a lot of western architecture in Macao, and the combination of Chinese and western cultures made Macao a unique city. It has many fresh scenic spots and exotic foods, which are worth seeing and tasting.
Today, I'll put together a travel guide for Macau, and give myself a weekend. Come and play!
1. Travel Tips
1. Transportation:
The transportation in Macau is very convenient, and there are free shuttle buses between scenic spots, commonly known as "rich cars", which are available at customs, docks and airports;
Bus * * *: Without a conductor, you can buy a bus card Macau Pass at 7-11 convenience store, or you can coin it. At present, the fare is 6mop/ person. You need to ring the stop bell before getting off, and there are usually stops in Cantonese and Portuguese.
Taxis: 17mop for the first 1611 meters, then 2mop for every 261 meters, waiting for 2mop for every minute, and 3mop for each piece of heavy luggage. The streets in Macau are narrow and congested, and many of them are one-way streets, which makes drivers in Macau have a bad temper and attitude.
2. Currency:
Macau uses Australia.
RMB and Hong Kong dollars can be used here, but most of them are charged at 1:1, which will be a bit of a loss. Alipay and WeChat payment have been widely used in most scenic spots.
3. Accommodation:
Hotel: Macau has an inch of land and gold. You can book various hotels in Ctrip at a price ranging from 511- 1,111 yuan, and you can book rooms according to your personal economic ability;
B&B: You can find B&B in Zhuhai and Macau when you book a room on Arbnb. Although the B&B in Macau is small, it is close to the scenic spots. Generally, it is in the living area, so you can experience the local characteristics better and the price is cheaper than the hotel.
4. Weather: Macau's climate belongs to subtropical monsoon climate, which is characterized by warm winter and hot summer, with concentrated rainfall, and its precipitation is mainly concentrated in summer, followed by winter. The climate in Macau is changeable in summer, so check the weather before you go out.
5. Network: I almost forgot to introduce the most important network! China Mobile can open an uncapped traffic package in Macau, but the network speed is slightly slower, which is 3G; If you stay a little longer, you can buy a local CTM or digital communication card in Macau.
2. A fresh place for the minority
1. Classic route: If you come to Macau for two days and take two classic tourist routes, you can finish most of the landmarks.
Macau Peninsula: St. Paul's Archway-Big Fort-Macau Museum-Notre Dame de Rose-the place in front of the Pavilion-Fisherman's Wharf-Mage Temple
_ Zi: Coloane Island-Xin Hao Ying Hui-Venetian Resort-San Francesco Church-Rua do Cunha-Longhuan Portuguese Rhyme Residential Museum
2. Freshness of the minority: if you are free to travel, you don't need to arrange your trip urgently.
Love Lane: It is a pink-and-yellow alley just to the right of the archway facing the St. Paul's.
According to folklore, anyone who walks through the love alley will soon meet with love, and lovers who walk through the love alley hand in hand will have a sweet love. Many couples come here. A few days ago, I also specially brought my boyfriend to punch in.
Crazy Hall Inclined Lane: I was shocked when I first walked here near the bus. It's a short alley, but it's very exotic. There are many southern European buildings with baroque columns, and the ground is paved with Portuguese-style gravel tiles.
On weekends, there will be a creative market in Crazy Hall Alley, and lanterns will be hung on Mid-Autumn trees. Day and night are two different feelings.
Tashi Square: It's just next to the crazy alley, one of the four major squares in Macau. There will be activities here from time to time. In the evening, I saw foreigners doing aerobics here, which is a bit like the square dance in China.
Fifth Street in October: It is a small road. It is said that the cover of the poster "Moonlight on the Fifth Day of October" shot by Chilam and Charmaine Sheh was shot here. There are some old houses on the street. It's not fresh here, but it's authentic.
Wynn Entertainment Center: In the lobby, from 11: 11 a.m. to 11: 11 p.m., there will be a fortune tree or dragon rising every half hour, yes! I was surprised when I saw it for the first time, and there will be many people around. This performance is free. If you are interested, you can go and have a look.
There will be a music fountain outside at night.
roundabout: I'd like to focus on it. It's relatively remote, with few tourists, but it has a sense of comfort away from the noise.
The Korean drama "Palace" in the urban library is filmed here. The colorful houses located everywhere are the biggest feature here, and the sea is a good place to take pictures.
3. Special food
There are many special snacks in Macao, but eating in scenic spots is expensive and tastes mediocre. I recommend several delicious places for everyone:
1. Dessert:
Macau Portuguese tart: Margaret and Andrew egg tart are must-eat desserts when coming to Macao. I will take them to eat when my friends come. Margaret is in Xinma Road, and there are many people waiting in line every time. Andrew is in the road ring, there are relatively few people, and the taste is similar.
Mo Yiji: Maoshanwang durian ice cream. Those who like durian are recommended to eat! Real material, full of durian, Mo Yi Ji is an old dessert shop in Macau, which is found in San Paoba and Rua do Cunha. You can also try other cakes.
tea before the imperial court: it's near the crazy hall inclined lane, and it's matcha tofu two-color ice cream! It's the first time I've tasted tofu, and it's sweet but not greasy when paired with thick matcha ~
MrLady: The most delicious air in Macau, Shufulei, is rarely visited by tourists, but often visited by locals, with long queues, which is enjoyed by adults and children.
This shop is next door to Peizheng Middle School. Most people don't go to this place when they travel to Macau, but Gaoshide is where many Macao locals live. It's only 1.5 minutes by taxi from Xinma Road, and you can go to Gaoshide on the 25th, 25th and 22nd by bus!
Italy comes to pig bag: There are both buses and Rua do Cunha. The most classic is pineapple pig bag, with soft bread and delicious pork chops.
2. Staple food: The brain has been occupied by all kinds of sweets. Now let's introduce some staple food restaurants. When you come to Macau, you must of course eat Portuguese food.
after years of precipitation, although most of them have become Australian-style Portuguese dishes, they taste good. Portuguese chicken, Portuguese-style seafood and Ma Jiexiu ball are more distinctive dishes.
Yali Curry House: Portuguese restaurant, near Macau Tower in Xiwan, with quiet and comfortable environment, moderate price, elegance and characteristics.
boathouse: Portuguese restaurant, next door to Mage Temple, with a nice environment. Maybe make a reservation in advance.
Dumbo: Portuguese restaurant, located in Rua do Cunha, is very famous in the local area. It is an authentic Portuguese restaurant. Dumbo's signboard is very pleasing, and the decoration is artistic. The price is on the high side, and 11% service charge is required.
In addition, Japanese food in Macau is also good, because there are many kinds of migrants, and there are Italian, Thai, Myanmar, Vietnamese and other restaurants, so you can try them.

RMB for MOP to spend in Macau, which is equivalent to a 21% discount. In order to benefit the majority of female compatriots, the last part is specially set aside to write shopping routes.
1. New Yaohan: The only and largest department store in Macau, with 9 floors, is full of cosmetics, clothes, electrical appliances and delicious food. The cosmetics here are cheaper than those in the mainland. Every year in June and October, there will be a VIP
