[Preface to parent-child tour and mother-in-law tour]
It is said that there is no true love that cannot be tested by a journey. A couple can get to know each other better through traveling and get to know each other better. If they are suitable, they can know if they travel together.
I said that there are no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that cannot be resolved by travel. Regardless of the relationship with your parents-in-law at home, I believe that if you are willing to take them on a trip together, the relationship between them will be more harmonious.
As a good daughter-in-law who not only manages the family thriftly but also handles the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law well, she decided to take her in-laws and foodies to Zhuhai and Macau for two days on weekends.
[Precautions for parent-child travel, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law travel]
※Carrying items
Babies under one year old cannot go out without milk powder, tableware, complementary food, diapers, shoes, clothes, cleaning supplies, toys, medicine, baby carriages, and braces.
The weather is hot these days. When you take your baby out, you must bring a parasol, enough water, and a small rechargeable fan. Because there is an air conditioner when you go indoors, you should also bring your baby's thin coat and silk scarf with you! !
※Diet
Maybe many people will ask your female Hanzhi what to eat along the way? I am ashamed to say it, because my family did not prohibit eating adult meals before one year old according to the parenting experts, so in addition to formula milk powder and rice noodles as the staple food when I go out, I also deliberately order some fish, steamed eggs, tofu, vegetables, etc. , and then wash the salt and oil of the meat or vegetables with hot water and give it to the female Hanzhi to eat. Every time she looks at the curious look of the female Hanzhi to eat something new, it is really funny.
Of course, everyone's family habits are different. You can bring rice noodles, fruit puree, or buy a stewing beaker to make a small porridge. Put the rice and boiled water in the night before, and you can eat stomach-nourishing porridge the next day, but the taste must be worse than freshly cooked porridge, haha.
※Bathing
The IU hotel I stayed in this time is a chain hotel without a bathtub, so I specially brought a small plastic basin for women to take a bath with.
If it is inconvenient to take a plastic basin when traveling, you can also buy a foldable portable basin on Taobao. In terms of shower gel, I specially bought a small bottle of Sanosan shower gel for 10 yuan, which is convenient to carry every time I go out. Therefore, it is good to take the baby out to stay in a star-rated hotel, but there are still other solutions for not living there.
※Working and Resting Time
When it comes to traveling with a baby, what worries me the most is that it will affect the baby's work and rest time.
But in fact, the babies are not as difficult to "serve" as imagined, as long as they are tired, they will still sleep. Therefore, the itinerary for traveling with a baby must be relaxed. When the baby wants to sleep, we stop and find a quiet and comfortable environment (such as a shopping mall) to let them get enough sleep before leaving.
※Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law tour slow down
The route you choose when taking your father-in-law or mother-in-law out is also to be as casual and comfortable as possible. Don’t eat after a while. Take a break every time you walk for a while before continuing to walk. If you are really tired, go back to the hotel to rest.
【Why choose Zhuhai IU Hotel】
As a good wife who is thrifty and manages the family, such a luxury living in Macau will not happen to me. The area of Macau is small, as long as the time is reasonable, a day trip is enough time to play, so living near the Zhuhai Gongbei Port is a good choice. I used to stay in the Express Hotel opposite Zhuhai Station before, but the environment and management of the hotel are not very good. The most important thing is that the car horns downstairs are very loud, which greatly affects sleep!!! After comparing horizontally and vertically , This time the hotel was finalized at the IU Hotel, which is about 8 minutes walk from Gongbei Port.
IU Hotel is owned by Platinum Group, which is the same group as Qitian but higher-end than Qitian.
The IU Hotel in Zhuhai was only opened in February 2016, so the facilities in all aspects are still very new, and the location of the hotel can be regarded as a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle.
Again, as a diligent and thrifty housewife, I pay great attention to the aspect of cost performance. The IU Hotel in Zhuhai is very suitable for my taste, and I can stay for about 200 yuan for one night! Absolutely recommend!

Since the road conditions from Guangzhou to Zhuhai are getting better and better, we arrived at IU Hotel in about 1 hour and 40 minutes.
After arriving at the hotel, the female Hanzhi was immediately attracted by the colorful colors of the hotel. Although the lobby is not big, there are comfortable sofas and modern wallpapers. As a pseudo-literary female youth, I love this kind of tone, okay? !
As soon as I walked to the front desk, the girl at the front desk kindly handed us a cup of hot tea, which really warmed my heart!
The hotel has many interesting elements:
DUANG 1: The TV can be mirrored! ! !
This point is going to blow up the sky, just follow the instructions to connect, and you can cast your mobile phone to the TV~~~ Since my girl likes to see her face so much, let's vote for her narcissism~
DUANG 2: The hotel phone only has one button!
Since female Hanzhi has to take a shower several times a day, I need to call the front desk to get 2 more bath towels~ At this moment, I was surprised to find that the phone of IU Hotel has only one button, so I don’t have to think about whether to press 999 or 808 You can get through to the front desk, it's always good~
DUANG 3: USB socket, so easy to charge your phone!
When my foodie husband saw this design, he immediately praised the ingenious design~ Yes, as a young man, without the Internet and without a mobile phone, he will really die! !
DUANG 4: Purified water, instant coffee, tea bags, and fruits are all free! !
Cough cough, as a wife who is greedy for petty gains, oh no, she is a thrifty housewife, and I like this kind of free items the most~ Maybe because I have experienced too many "traps" that charge fees, my father-in-law asked me 3 times at the beginning (see Come on, he also knows that important things have to be said three times, haha) Do you charge for those coffee and fruits~
DUANG 5: Face towel, soap, you are so handsome, does your mother know?
When I first booked the IU Hotel, I thought it would be similar to Qitian: the hair dryer is outside, the toiletry bag must be brought with you, and the yellow label is still yellow~
But the IU Hotel is indeed much more refined than Qitian. There are all kinds of face towels, toiletries, hair dryers, and towels with covers. Even the shower gel is either Henkel or Lux, which makes people feel very comfortable~
【Nv Hanzhi's First Macau Tour】
Because the IU Hotel is so fun, we postponed our trip to Macau.
After arriving in Macau, as a diligent and thrifty housewife, I can basically go where I want to go by taking the free bus of the five-star hotel in Macau without taking a bus or taking a taxi.
The weather on this day was not very good. Before it rained, the weather was hot and unbearable. After the rain, it was a bit cold~ so we also picked some key places to shop and eat.
【Grand Lisboa Hotel】
After eating, due to the rainy weather, the female Hanzhi was tired again, so she went to the nearby Grand Lisboa Hotel for a walk. The inside of the Grand Lisboa Hotel is like a small museum, with many beautiful decorations, and the women danced happily after seeing it.
【The Ruins of St. Paul's】
In the afternoon, the rain finally stopped~ In order to take pictures of the landmarks in Macau so that I can tell the girl that she has been to Macau in the future, I took her to the Ruins of St. Paul to take some pictures~~~~~~
The Ruins of St. Paul's, the symbol of Macau. Near the archway are pharmacies and souvenirs (pork jerky, egg rolls, macaroons, Shaqima and the like). If you want to save money and eat free things like me, please remember to have a thick skin and try them for free, one by one, one by one! It doesn’t matter whether you buy it or not, anyway, there are many people who are willing to buy it after tasting it, and you are a lot less~ Hehe
【Sedinari Square】
Largo do Senado, commonly known as the fountain, is one of the four major squares in Macau. Senado Square is located opposite the headquarters of the Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau. The entire square of Senado Square is paved with gravel in a wave shape. The nearby roads have been turned into pedestrian-only areas, and there are benches around. People like to gather here to rest. and leisure.
Due to the location and the shade of the trees, the girl fell asleep soon~
【Venice Hotel】
Many people must go to the Venetian Hotel when they go to Macau, because it is equivalent to building a small Venice indoors. The man-made sky dome, Venetian-style buildings, arch bridges, canals and gondolas are all beautifully decorated.
There are all kinds of shops on both sides of the canal. As a short and poor person, the favorite is window shopping. When you are tired from walking, you can eat a McDonald's ice cream and rest.
【Taipa Guanye Street】
Guanye Street is only about 115 meters long and 5 meters wide. It is one of the famous food streets in Macau. There are a lot of old houses near Guanye Street, which are very interesting and easy to take pictures. It can help digestion after eating. Here we ate Mo Yi Kee Durian Ice Cream, Hong Bin Kee Beef Offal, Boba Big Fish Ball, Wood Bran Cake, Cheng Chang Crab Porridge, Da Li Lai Kee Pork Chop Bun and so on.
【Fisherman's Wharf】
In Europe and the United States, there are many famous fisherman's wharfs, such as San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf in the United States, Montreal Fisherman's Wharf in Canada, Liverpool Fisherman's Wharf in the United Kingdom and so on. Macau Fisherman's Wharf skillfully blends the European style with the characteristics of Macau. It can be described as a model of the combination of Chinese and Western cultures and is worth visiting.
Europe sounds far away; Macau is very close to us. Although the two places sound irrelevant, when we strolled along the seaside near Guangzhou in early summer, walked in the quiet town streets, and wandered in the ancient Roman-style streets, we felt a sense of Europe.
【The night view of Macau is so beautiful】
Because my father-in-law and mother-in-law said that I had never seen the night view of Macau, we decided to go shopping in Macau at night and then go back to Zhuhai after dinner.
Maybe because the good-looking people are not too bad luck, when we accidentally walked to the Wynn Hotel, we happened to catch up with its night music fountain~ It is very beautiful, and the female man paper can't even blink!
The night in Macau is intoxicating. When visiting Macau at night, there is always a feeling of walking through an illusion. There are many famous night scenes in cities all over the world, but Macau is definitely worth experiencing in person. When night falls, the neon lights flashing everywhere make this small town charming and graceful, and the unique multicultural and romantic style permeates the night...
During the whole day's trip, I walked out of the house with my father-in-law, mother-in-law and female Hanzhi. My mother-in-law helped me bring the female Hanzhi together, and my mother-in-law also had the opportunity to play with the female Hanzhi. I feel really happy!
