*** 4 days and 3 nights a day, but because there are other things to do and the time is not easy to control, the actual tour time is about 2 days, and some routes are of low reference value, so it is a little dry goods plus personal records.
Macao is divided into Macau Peninsula, two outlying islands (Taipa and Luhuan) and Luchuan City located between the two outlying islands.
San Paolo, Mazu Pavilion, New Lisboa, macau tower and New Yaohan are all located in Macau Peninsula. There are three bridges connecting the peninsula and the outlying islands, and the Governor Jialebi Bridge in the middle is the only one that can be crossed on foot.
The area filled between the two outlying islands, Taitsai and Luhuan, is the Luchuan City, which is the location of major emerging entertainment venues. Taitsai, north of Lubao, is also a popular area for tourists, for example, the Longhuan Puyun Residential Museum, Rua do Cunha, etc., and the Macau International Airport is also here. On the south side of the road, there is a relatively primitive roundabout. You can go straight to the black beach by bus, and then you can have a simple tour and lunch in the downtown area of the road.
Currency: Although there are Macao patacas, Hong Kong dollars seem to be more popular, and it is more convenient to exchange them on the mainland. There is little difference in exchange rate. The difference between RMB 111 and the above two is around 1 yuan, and some banks need to make an appointment to exchange Hong Kong dollars.
cash payment: many stores will charge "HK$: MOP = 1: 1", that is, if you pay HK$, you will also get change in MOP, regardless of the exchange rate difference. Individual stores will also pay RMB at 1: 1: 1. Please read carefully and ask in advance, and I will inform the stores I meet voluntarily.
mobile payment: it is not completely covered, and it is basically not supported by bus, taxi and 7-11. However, some small shops support WeChat or Alipay to scan the code and automatically convert it into RMB, which is very convenient, and many shops can also receive coupons. Same as above, before scanning the code, it is suggested to ask whether it is calculated according to the exchange rate, otherwise it will not be cost-effective to pay according to the same amount of MOP.
credit card: large shopping malls and shops are acceptable, but not all the small shops frequented by local residents are supported.
If you buy a ticket in 6 yuan in cash, you can't change your own coin, and the driver will not drive until the amount is correct;
you can get a discount by swiping Macau Pass, and it is more cost-effective to buy Macau Pass for more than 1 days. You can buy it at a certain treasure and take it with you. Although I had written an email to Macau Transportation Bureau asking about it before, I learned that I could use UnionPay QuickPay, but my cards were not successful, and the driver also said that I could not use it.
There are many stations, and the routes in urban areas usually run every 5-11 minutes. Qiang Lie recommends the official APP：DSAT Traffic Consulting Station, which can check the location of each car in real time, and how many stops to arrive after work. The bus stop sign also has the departure interval and the first and last time of each line, which is very convenient.
Personally, it's very expensive. It's more cost-effective for four people to fight for one car, and the luggage fee is extra. We only take cash, accept Hong Kong dollars, RMB and MOP, and usually use MOP to give change.
All major casinos and hotels provide free shuttle buses to and from the airport, Macau Peninsula, major scenic spots and other hotels owned by them. However, some hotels have fewer flights, and some need to provide shopping vouchers.
Local calling card: I bought it from a treasure and brought it directly. On average, it doesn't reach 8 yuan every day, and the speed is 4G. I can buy it at Macau airport, but I didn't pay attention to the price.
opening overseas traffic: sometimes it costs about RMB 11 a day to catch up with the promotion, and the original price is about RMB 21, but it may be 3G network speed, and friends' feedback speed is not very stable, so you can open one if there is not much demand. Anyway, hotels have Wifi.
The monetary unit involved in this article is MOP.
Consumption level: People who often live in the mainland say it is very high. Eating breakfast in small shops frequented by local people costs about 21 yuan per person, starting from 11 yuan for bread, 12 yuan for coffee/milk tea, 18 yuan for noodle soup and 21 yuan for pig bag (about 35 in places with many tourists). Although it seems that the unit price is not high, it is not as cheap as soybean milk fritters in the mainland. Curious about the price of the barber shop: 81 for washing and blowing, 111 for cutting hair.
Supermarkets are relatively cheap. Lailai, Xinmiao and Chengchang are all common on the street. They often buy bottled mineral water (2 yuan), mainly to exchange coins for cars. I wanted to go to 7-11, but I bought a single bottle of Yakult (4 yuan) with bottled water in 7.2 yuan. The clerk was very considerate and asked if 21 coins were enough.
Buffet: Before I checked the Raiders, I saw that everyone said that the buffet in Macau was cheap, so I went to the public to comment on the price and thought it was almost the same as that in the mainland. After the discount, it was more than 111 yuan. I feel really cost-effective when I arrive, because it is not cheap to eat anything else: 61 Portuguese chicken noodles in Jinsha food city and 51+ McDonald's set meal in Melville.
In this place where gambling (often called casino locally) is legal, you should go for a walk anyway. Such a turn has really changed the previous impression of casinos.
I mainly visited several major casinos in Luchao New Town:
I went to all the regular large casinos this time, so I didn't find the legendary cheating plots. There are countless cameras on the roof, and some gambling tables have two.
You can enter the casino at will when you are over 21 years old. You don't need tickets and certificates, but you need security check. It is forbidden to take photos, so there are no photos here. Shooting at the door has also been stopped, and some people have been asked by the staff to delete photos on the spot.
The staff have their own duties, and the venue is orderly and isolated, which is difficult for us working-class people to integrate into. Of course, it is still possible to gamble a few times for entertainment.
The most concerned worker is probably "He Guan". He Guan is the staff responsible for dealing cards and exchanging chips at the gambling table. There is one person at each table, and there are two or four people at each table for large games. He wears uniform and serious uniforms, usually deadpan and rarely talks. Everything depends on clean gestures, calm and calm, and hundreds or even tens of millions of chips on the table have nothing to do with it, more like a robot. However, when you leave after losing hundreds of thousands of dollars, some lotus officials will politely say: I'm sorry ~
By the way, water, tea, milk tea and coffee are also provided free of charge in the entertainment venue, and you only have a drink in the venue we have consumed, otherwise you will feel that you are taking advantage, haha.
Day 1: Arrive at noon for business, go to the peninsula after 19:11
Day 2: 19: 11 for sightseeing, and visit the amusement park at night
Day 3: All-day sightseeing, including the road ring, the peninsula and the road purlin
Day 4: Piaozai, Take off at 19:11
Near the bus → Sai Van Lake Fireworks Show → Back to the hotel
Time: 3 hours
Cost: bus 12 yuan/person, mineral water 2 yuan
Originally, I planned to watch only a fireworks show, but I was afraid I wouldn't have time to come the next day, so I stopped by to see the archway of the bus, and around the back of the archway, I could see the signs of damage.
If you want to take pictures of the international fireworks display at 9 pm, you must go early. The least crowded place is probably the Governor's Bridge in Jialebi, with excellent view, but you should pay attention to safety. I can't get the cool effect from my mobile phone. Let's take a picture of official website:
Melville Cinema → Parisian → Venetian
When I arrive in Macau, I have to make a small gamble and see what the major casinos are like, so after 19:11 in the evening, I'll take a stroll from the west side of Luantong Highway. On the third day, I visited the east side.
① Melville Cinema
is famous for its 8-character Ferris wheel, with hotels and famous shopping centers inside, and the entertainment venue is located in the center of the first floor.
② Parisians
③ Venetians
Black Beach → downtown area around the road → Macau Peninsula → major entertainment venues around the road (Jinsha Square, city of dreams, MGM, Wynn Palace, Moppers. When you go in and find your own seat, the waiter will come to the dining table to order food, take the menu and pay at the door, and automatically convert it into RMB with Alipay payment.
Coffee and milk tea are completely sugar-free. You can add sugar and honey on the table by yourself. Milk tea is black tea with milk, which tastes without any additives. It is real and bitter without sugar. The egg tart was baked on the same day, while it was sold out. Personally, the taste was not amazing, but it was not bad. 8 yuan was the only one.
In ordinary pig bag, there are only pork chops, which seems to be 21 pieces, and the price with vegetables will be higher. The meat is very solid, and each piece is attached to the bone.
After breakfast, I took the bus to the Black Beach in Luhuan, and got off at the No.25 Black Beach Station. The bus runs every 21-31 minutes, but there were few people on the bus. It takes half an hour to get to the black beach without traffic jams.
It is found that the overpasses in Macau are all "complicated", almost all of them are equipped with elevators and awnings. There is also a photo taken in Macao Peninsula, with flowers on both sides.
If you don't swim, there isn't much to play on the black sand beach. Just look at a few black sands. There are only a few tourists on weekdays, and occasionally there are workers to clean up. There is a small area in the middle for swimming and lifeguards. The seaside is very clean, so it's good to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and bask in the sun.
In order to avoid the rapid loss of black sand, yellow sand was used to supplement it.
It's just noon after visiting the black beach. Take the bus to go around the city, and then go to Andrew's coffee shop for lunch.
Some TV plays have been filmed here.
Andrew's bakery is located in the downtown area around the road. In order to find a place to sit down, I went to Andrew's coffee shop, ordered two ordinary egg tarts, added the seasonal special pumpkin tart recommended by the clerk, and had a Bailey Sweet Caffe latte, so I didn't have to have lunch at all. I've been very satisfied with the egg tart these two days.
There are flowers on both sides ~
There are only two floors in the hotel, which should be a big hotel at that time, and films such as Isabella, 2146 and Butterfly were shot here.
The entrance of the building is in the corridor on the left side of the Rose Hall, which seems to be a ***4-6 floor. I can't remember it clearly. I buy one kind of food on each floor: vegetables, meat, fish, bean products, etc., which should be the vegetable market of nearby residents.
ban
The streets in the old city of Macau Peninsula are very narrow, and some of them have steep slopes, so many motorcyclists can hardly see bicycles.
I saw the Raiders before, and I walked for a long time before I found it in an obscure building. There are very few tourists in this place, which can be said to be a local canteen, much like the low-grade version of the food court in the shopping center. The price is much lower than the scenic spot, a bowl of green vegetable noodles is 17, and the outside is more than 21. Inside is the dining area, and outside is the children's casino.
here is chezai noodles, which tastes good and has no special taste.
Of the three dipping materials, the chili one is delicious.
This building is similar to the one near the Rose Hall, with an extra layer of dining.
It was only after 6 o'clock after dinner, and I went back to Luchuan to visit the major entertainment venues.
The bus goes directly to city of dreams and Jinsha Square, and you are attracted to the newly opened Apple Store at the end of June this year, which is the first apple store with bamboo forest in the world. It's quiet and the clerks are very enthusiastic.
city of dreams is in the north of Jinsha. Before taking photos, go straight to MGM, the beauty lion in the east.
It's a pity that taking pictures is still prohibited in casinos. Passing through the casino to the lobby, the lobby at night is empty and shocking, with the waterfall in the electronic display screen, which is more imposing, but unfortunately it can't be reflected in taking pictures.
video screenshot, can you vaguely see the big lion walking past?
The Wynn Palace is just across the road from MGM. There is a large fountain in front of Wynn. Above the fountain is a sightseeing cable car. You can take a tour for free. There is a fountain performance every 21 minutes in the afternoon and evening. The music is Broadway-style. After visiting several casinos and watching a performance, you have a feeling of being intoxicated (laughs).
every hotel and casino is worth visiting or taking a small gamble.
Xinnanxin Coffee Cuisine → Yinhe Resort → Rua do Cunha and its surroundings → Wynn Palace → Walking to the airport
I came to Xinnanxin again in the morning and had something different to eat. I wanted to see what kind of bread Francis had. When I served it, I only saw full calories (dumbfounding): the bread was wrapped in eggs and fried, with a piece of butter (melted) on it, and the syrup in the pot was sprinkled once when I ate it. This is directed by a local enthusiastic aunt across the street. Well, it's really delicious, but I'm afraid it will gain a lot of meat if I eat it often, so it's suitable for several friends to share a bite.
After eating and drinking enough, I continued to visit the casino. I haven't been to the nearest Galaxy Resort, but I found it really big when I went in. The bottom floors of the three buildings are connected, so the casino inside can't be seen at all. It's impossible to take a panoramic view by aerial photography. Look at the sand table model:
The fountain special effects performance in the diamond lobby is held once on the hour and once at half past one. Few people went in the morning, and the tour group was full in the afternoon, but another dubbing was added: every time there was an unexpected effect, the audience would invariably say, "Wow! "1.
After watching the performance, I went to Broadway next to it, but the focus here is on watching the performance, and the casino and lobby are not so gorgeous.
At noon, walk from Yinhe to the vicinity of Longhuan Puyun and Rua do Cunha, get something to eat and get ready to go to the airport.
The beef offal is very tender and delicious, and the broccoli next to it is a single dish, similar to mala Tang.
After lunch, I still had enough time, so I went straight to Wynn Palace by bus, and then it occurred to me that since Wynn is only 2 kilometers away from the airport, I might as well walk there! Maybe I won't have a few chances to walk to the airport in my life, hahaha.
I saw that there was no queue on the cable car, so I took a lap. It was stable when I got on and off the cable car, and it was really operated by the casino.
I walked around and went to the airport, passing through Macau University of Science and Technology.
Macau Airport is very small. There are tourist maps, small and fresh cultural and creative maps and museum maps available at the tourist information desk, which are exquisite in workmanship.
At last, I exchanged the unused patacas for RMB at the airport, and ended the trip. I recorded some videos and haven't put them up yet. Let's update them later.
There are still a few places I haven't been to this time: the restaurant of Macau Tourism Institute, the cable car of Erlonghou Park, Mage Temple and Bishop Hill. I will make up for them when I come again.
I finally wrote my first travel note after a long delay. I'm going to Chengdu and Chongqing in a few days, so I have to start writing that evening. T_T
