(including group travel, individual travel endorsement)
Macao,
Long time no see, I miss you very much.
After resuming free travel in Guangdong,
Yuzi can't wait to go to Macau,
I personally experienced the customs clearance experience in a special period,
Everything went very well.
Presumably you will have a lot of concerns,
take it easy
Yuzi has prepared a strategy for everyone!
When it comes to tourism in Macau, these two representative buildings in Macau are definitely indispensable: one is the 56-storey Macau Tower, a representative building of the new generation, and the other is the Ruins of St. Paul, a representative building of cultural heritage. Both of these representative buildings are located on the Macau Peninsula.
However, when you walk in the historic center of Macau, you can always inadvertently find this magnificent "Golden Lotus" building, which is the Grand Lisboa Hotel in Macau. The "Best of Grand Lisboa" that everyone can most easily see is the shining spherical display outside the hotel. It consists of 1.2 million LED displays and is the largest display in the world.
The Grand Lisboa Hotel in Macau is located on Lisboa Road. When you go out, turn right and walk along the road to reach the famous meeting hall square.
Recently, it should be the most comfortable time to visit Macau. There are not many people. Walking through the long Souvenir Street, I was stunned by the empty scene in front of the Ruins of St. Paul’s. I hurriedly took pictures and clocked in to record the moment.
Macao, an international city with a small land and dense population, is a city very suitable for self-help travel. Whether it is geographical location, scenic spot arrangement, transportation planning, etc., it is simpler and more convenient than other metropolises. In addition, there is no language barrier, so it is naturally an excellent choice for the first-time experience of free travel.
The Yamalaqiandi bus hub opposite the Grand Lisboa Hotel in Macau covers almost all the bus routes to every corner of Macau, and it is very convenient to go anywhere.
How much do you know about Grand Lisboa? It has been regarded as a topic by countless people and talked about countless times. It is more popular than "souvenirs", and it never jumps out of your sight. Perhaps this is the biggest charm of "Grand Lisboa". So, staying at the Grand Lisboa Hotel in Macau, what is the different experience, the following Yuzi will tell you one by one:
01 Looking at the Ruins of St. Paul's for breakfast
Grand Lisboa Hotel Macau has more than 400 luxurious guest rooms and suites, all of which are equipped with first-class facilities. Due to the unique exterior design of the Grand Lisboa Hotel, the design of the rooms on each floor of the hotel is different, so every time you stay in the Grand Lisboa, you will have a different feeling. This time I lived in a high-rise room with a 180-degree panoramic view of Macau. The moment I opened the door, I was overjoyed.
Standing in front of the window, you can overlook the panorama of the Macau Peninsula. From the clear sky in the morning to the beautiful dusk in the evening, you are condescending and unobstructed.
The room is equipped with a steam room, a 60cm-diameter tropical rain shower and a multi-directional jacuzzi.
Room service.
Day and Night Cafe
Chinese, Continental, American
When you wake up in the morning, food can be delivered to your room with just one phone call. The Day and Night Cafe offers 3 breakfast sets, including Chinese, American and Continental.
Sit by the window and have a leisurely breakfast. Among the dense urban buildings, you can also see the Ruins of St. Paul’s. This kind of dining experience is none other than the Grand Lisboa in Macau.
02 Two three-star Michelin restaurants
8 restaurant
Grand Lisboa Hotel is most proud of having two three-star Michelin restaurants. "8 Restaurant" is a very modern Chinese decoration style, with ubiquitous "8" and goldfish decorations, as well as large areas of black and deep red decorative paintings in the restaurant, with spotlights from different angles, noble and elegant.
The restaurant provides a total of 160 seats and has 6 independent boxes, each room can accommodate 10 people, and the largest room can accommodate 24 people. The tableware used in the restaurant is goldfish-themed tableware specially customized by Legle for 8 Restaurant. "8 Restaurant" offers more than 160 dishes, and more than 40 kinds of creative snacks at noon.
This time I tasted new dishes again, and I recommend salt and pepper Long Lizai, fish maw shredded duck and scallop soup, golden garlic and emerald star spot balls, crispy blue angel shrimp with potted chicken, casserole stewed rice with abalone and chicken, etc.
The most outstanding thing about Grand Lisboa is the wine pairing between meals. The wine library has more than 17,000 famous wines from all over the world, most of which have been awarded by the "Wine Advocate" (Wine Advocate) founded by American wine critic Robert Parker. Advocate) magazine gave a high score of 91 points or more. On this huge wine list, you can see more than a dozen or twenty years of the same winery, old German Riesling TBA, BA, old Madeira, 1825 and 1827 vintages, and more It is rare in the world. It is indeed a paradise for wine lovers.

It is one of the top French restaurants in Hong Kong and Macau with a romantic dining atmosphere and French luxury.

The pre-dinner French van, the butter trolley, the wine trolley, and the after-dinner dessert trolley, even the main course roasted beef tenderloin and duck liver with port wine sauce are served by mysterious black The box was opened.

04 Leisure and entertainment integration
The Grand Lisboa Hotel has a unique design. In addition to luxurious rooms, it is equipped with various service facilities such as brand stores, restaurants, spas, banquet halls, etc., and its geographical location is superior. It has always been my best choice for traveling in Macau. The 5-story casino inside the Grand Lisboa Macau's "star" appearance is also the highest casino in Macau.
In Grand Lisboa, your sight will definitely be dazzled by these treasures: in the lobby, there is a bronze sculpture of "Tai Chi Contrast" by Taiwanese sculptor Ju Ming, a gold-plated peacock made by Garrard, the British Royal Jewelry Team, a piece by Dr. He The white jade Maitreya Buddha that I bought back... Walking all the way, it looks like a treasure house.
However, what I like to talk about the most is the two gemstones I saw when I entered the door. A diamond named "Stanley Ho Star" weighs 218 carats and is shaped like a pillow. ; another 210-carat emerald gemstone, which means "gathering the power of ethereal time and space".

Night tour Macau
There are many scenic spots around the hotel. After dinner, take a walk to the famous landmark Chamber Square, which is another scene from the daytime. It’s rare to see an open-air teahouse on the side of the road. On a hot summer night, ordering a cold drink and ordering a snack is a good choice for three or five friends to take a rest in the shade and take pictures. There is also a live jazz band every night from 7:00 to 9:00.
I went to Macau's latest popular online celebrity check-in spot - Guia New Street. After getting out of the Grand Lisboa Hotel, turn right, cross the road and you will see the Army Club, then pass through Nanwan Garden, choose a road on the left that does not go up the slope, and you will find Guia New Street. This is a residential area, and both sides of the road are It's a store, and choosing a good angle can give you another way to visit Grand Lisboa. However, there are cars passing by this road from time to time, so please pay attention to safety when taking pictures.
