Macao is one of China's special administrative regions, with a very long cultural history. It is the best place for the integration of eastern and western cultures, and all kinds of distinctive cultural elements will be displayed to people. Here are some detailed strategies to share with you.
endorsement processing:
apply for the Hong Kong and Macao Pass, plus a Macao endorsement. Note that except for the first-tier big cities, residents in general cities are given group visas, so they can't fly directly. They can only enter Zhuhai-Macao customs clearance from Zhuhai Customs:
With the Hong Kong-Macao Pass and valid endorsement, they can get to Macao through self-help customs clearance. (Zhuhai is the Gongbei port, and it will be closed in Macau after entry, so it will take about 15-2 minutes to get to Macau by self-service customs clearance)
Itinerary:
Day one: Zhuhai-Macau-Rua do Cunha-Xiangzi Food Stall-Portuguese Rhyme Museum-Venetian-Accommodation
Day two: Fisherman's Wharf-Water Palace-Wynn Palace-as pearls as a bag. The unified bus price is MOP 6 (HK$ and RMB), and the starting price for taxis is about 15 yuan.
Communication: You can buy a communication card from Hong Kong and Macao, or you can buy it directly. The overseas Internet traffic is almost one day in 1 yuan, and the 3g network has unlimited traffic. If the time is short, it is quite cost-effective. Alipay can buy it directly.
currency: both hong kong dollars and Macao pataca RMB are common in Macao, but they are basically calculated according to the value of Macao pataca, and generally do not count as exchange rates, so there will be exchange losses when using hong kong dollars and RMB. At the ATM, the withdrawal starts at HK$ 1 and starts at MOP 5. Day 1: Zhuhai to Macau
From Zhuhai to Macau, enter from Gongbei Port and walk to Macau. Now, as long as you have a Hong Kong and Macao Pass and a valid endorsement, you can self-service customs clearance. You need to verify your face and fingerprints once you go out and enter the customs.
the whole process takes about 2 minutes, so it's the most convenient to go to Macao from Zhuhai. Of course, after the opening of the Hong Kong-Macao-Zhuhai Bridge, you can drive directly into Macao, which is definitely a milestone in the connection between the mainland and Hong Kong and Macao, and it will be more and more convenient for the mainland to travel to Hong Kong and Macao.
Macao is divided into three regions, namely, Macau Peninsula, Taipa Island and Coloane Island. The old city is the Macau Peninsula, which is dominated by historical attractions such as the Lisboa Hotel and the Grand Sanba, and tourists are concentrated. Taipa Island is a new city where Venetians, Parisians and Wynn Palace luxury hotels and casinos gather. The Coloane Island is sparsely populated and suitable for island holidays.
Rua do Cunha
Rua do Cunha is a food street located in Taipa, and an old street with a long history in Macau. The whole street is only about 1 meters long. On both sides, Macao specialty foods, such as egg tarts, pig bag, handmade snacks and Portuguese dishes, are sold. All famous Macao specialty snacks can always be found here. The street has been very commercialized, and basically it is visited by tourists, but when you come to Rua do Cunha Night Market in Macau, you will get a gourmet business card. If it's hard for you to find the street food in Macau, it's a good choice to come to Rua do Cunha. You can basically taste all the features when you stroll down a street.
Address: Jiamotang District, Taipa
Transportation: Get off at No.33 Taipa Rua do Cunha at 6 yuan. It is suggested that you can take a free bus at the casino hotel to reach Venetian and Parisian.
Xiangzi food stall
If you want to experience authentic Macau delicacies, you must recommend the Xiangzi food stall in Rua do Cunha, which is particularly delicious. During my stay in Macao, I ate many curry beef brisket noodles, but the ones in Xiangzi were completely different. The curry flavor was super rich, the beef brisket and beef tendon were soft but not rotten, and the fish balls were Q-bomb, which was the best taste I had eaten in Macao. Therefore, this curry beef brisket noodle must be recommended for everyone to try.
Per capita: 8
Address: Rua do Cunha
Portuguese Rhyme Museum
The Portuguese Rhyme Residence Museum is adjacent to Rua do Cunha, and it is five villas in Portuguese style that were once built in Portugal. The small and fresh color of macaroon green makes it one of the eight scenic spots in Macau, and it is also a unique punching place in online celebrity without recording the interweaving of Chinese and Portuguese culture and life. The furniture and photos displayed in the house come from the real life of these senior Portuguese officials 1 years ago, with a strong European style in Portugal, but at the same time there are traces of traditional living habits in China. Coming here, you can feel the appearance of Macao in that special era. Walking through it seems to go back in time, but the architecture is still full of fashion sense today.
I've been to the Venetian before when I came to Macau, but I couldn't help coming this time. After all, the replica of the Venice River in the Grand Canal Shopping Mall is so realistic, even if it's cloudy outside, there will always be blue sky and white clouds inside. Grand Canal Shopping Mall is a very inclusive shopping area, with various brands ranging in price from several hundred to tens of thousands, which is suitable for tourists of all consumption levels. Therefore, tourists who come here to shop are also in an endless stream. Compared with the big-name famous shops that are neglected by other hotels, this is the real shopping area. If you are lucky, you can also see the model catwalk on the spot and walk directly through the small bridges and flowing water in Venice.
Hotel
In terms of the overall cost performance of Macao, Hao _ Hotel is already a high cost performance, so it is difficult to stay in such a comfortable hotel in Macao at such a price. The price of this superior twin room is around 7 yuan and around 1 yuan on holidays. The overall environment is comfortable and the service is good. The only problem is that it is far from the urban area, and there are no rich dining options around. There are two buses, but it is almost unnecessary to go to the scenic spots. The hotel provides a free shuttle bus from 9: to 21: , which can go to the downtown area and the Sea Cube transfer station, every hour. So it basically solved the problem of remote hotel location.
Location:
The hotel is located in Gentleman Street, Gao Kening, about 2 minutes' walk from the city center, and the surrounding shopping and dining are inconvenient, which is also the main reason for the hotel's pricing. If it is really in the center, it can't be this price. But the advantage of being remote is that it is very quiet, facing the Macau Tower, and the night view is excellent at night.
traffic guide:
No.9 and No.16 can go to the city center, and the gate is closed, which costs 6 yuan. The free shuttle bus provided by the hotel is easier to go out, and basically you can only walk or take a taxi when you come back.
Facilities and environment:
Located on the mountainside, the scenery is very good and it is quiet around. The guest room has been decorated, and it is relatively simple in the style of combining China and Europe. The bathroom is equipped with a bathtub, but the toilet has some odor, which should be a problem during design and installation. Provide disposable toiletries, slippers, drinking water, etc., and clean them every day. There are windows but they can't be opened, so the ventilation of the room is a problem.
Service experience:
The service is very thoughtful, and you can store your luggage. You can check in at 15: and check out at 11: every day. Although it's a bit pitted, Macau is always like this, so it's still different from the mainland.
Tourism summary:
On the whole, if the cost performance is considered, it is a good choice and the living environment is more comfortable. The traffic is really inconvenient. Accommodation environment is directly proportional to the price. The next day: Fisherman's Wharf
Fisherman's Wharf is a large shopping and entertainment mall that imitates European architecture. It is adjacent to Hong Kong and Macao Wharf, and has moved European Greek temples, the Colosseum and other buildings together. Most shops are closed, and there are not many tourists. The scenery is good and it is especially suitable for taking pictures, but the weather still needs to look at the character.
Water Palace
A Portuguese restaurant located in Fisherman's Wharf, with beautiful Mediterranean blue decoration style, provides Portuguese food and Macao special cuisine. It was originally just a casual shop because of the arrival of the meal, but it gave a full surprise. Pork chop _ rice, Ma Jiexiu ball are all given full marks, and the sauce and taste are just right, which is simply a difference of 1 point and 1 points from dinner. So when you come to Fisherman's Wharf, you must try this Portuguese food, and the price is very close to the people.
Address: Fisherman's Wharf Per capita: 8 yuan
Wynn Palace
Wynn Palace is also one of the most luxurious resort hotels in Macau. Its interior is really as glittering as a palace. When you come to Wynn Palace, you must experience one project, that is, the water cable car. You can enter Wynn Palace through the free water cable car.
waiting for the staff to arrange in front of the cable car, in order to maintain privacy, we will not let unknown passengers sit together, and we can reach the palace in about two minutes. We still need to take the cable car when we get out, which is a good experience project.
As pearls are like a bag
The civilian dim sum shop in Wynn Palace has no more affordable price than here. Milk tea starts in 16 yuan and there are more than 1 pieces of bread. You can try the Hong Kong-style milk cover here, and the freshly baked egg tart is also a good choice.
Parisians
The essence of Parisian Hotel is the gorgeous "Eiffel Tower" at night. The gorgeous light show is even brighter than that in Paris. At 6 o'clock every night, the lights are on, and at 15 o'clock, the music starts and the light show is staged.
Ferris wheel
The 8-character Ferris wheel in the City of Melville, which shines at night, is not only a landscape, but also a ride on the Ferris wheel overlooking the night view of Macao.
Opening hours: Monday-Friday 12:-2:
Holidays 11:-21:
Tickets: adult ticket for 1 yuan, online purchase for 1 people. Day 3: Zhuwan Beach
Zhuwan Beach is located in the south of Macau's roundabout, which is half an hour's drive from the main city of St. Paul's. It is also the farthest scenic spot in Macau. The sea water here is muddy, but here you can see a completely different scene from the downtown area of Macau, like a quiet small fishing village. Although every household in the area is an exquisite villa, there are few pedestrians on the road. Walk eastward along Zhuwan Beach for 2 minutes and you will arrive at the black gauze beach in Macau.
Address: roundabout
Bus: 21A26A6 yuan Tickets: Free
Wynn Fortune Tree
The Fortune Tree performance at Wynn Hotel is really exciting. Ten minutes before the performance, the periphery of the performance venue will be packed, so if you want to watch it at close range, you can either get up early or take a seat in advance. Entering from the main entrance of the lobby of Wynn Hotel, along the left passage, it is the performance hall of Fortune Tree. This performance worth hundreds of millions is being expected by unknown tourists.
The performance venue is just a circular area of several square meters, with a golden carving pattern of the zodiac above, which echoes the circular golden dome below. At the beginning of the performance, the lights dimmed, the magnificent music sounded, and the Chinese zodiac animals on the top of the head rotated like a gossip array, like the passage of cosmic time and the constant reincarnation of the Chinese zodiac animals. Gorgeous lights appear, the sleek giant crystal chandelier slowly descends, while the jinding below blooms, and Huang Jinshu breaks through the ground, with bright and joyful light, slowly ascending with the cheers of tourists.
venue: Wynn Hotel Macau Peninsula Phase II
Performance time: every half hour from 1: to 22:, and the performance time is free for 8 minutes.
Buss
It is one of the eight scenic spots in Macau. Although it is called the memorial archway, it is actually just a wall of a church, which was burned down in 1835. The food, food, medicine and cosmetics shopping concentrated in the Sanba area are naturally more expensive. Because I have been there before, I have visited all the scenic spots in the area of the bus, such as the big battery and the Notre Dame de Rose (the route can be seen in the way of playing cattle I wrote before), so I visited the bus at will to end this trip.
Macau-Zhuhai
It's equally convenient to return to Zhuhai from Macau. You can take a free bus from all casino hotels to the gate, and the next two are self-service customs clearance.
Summary
Macau is really more than just a casino. The clean streets, natural island scenery and delicious food here are all reasons for my nostalgia. If you carefully study the free buses in major hotels, you will find that it is more convenient than the bus. You can get on the bus in a fixed area and have cars to major landmarks.
Macao itself is small, with concentrated scenic spots, and the scenic spots can be connected in series by bus every day. WeChat and Alipay services have been opened in most major consumer places in Macao, but some places only accept cash.
so it is necessary to prepare some patacas. If you want to take the bus, it is recommended to apply for Macau Express, otherwise you have to change money every time. You know that a bottle of water in Macau costs 8 MOP, which is too difficult to change money.
