I have always heard that there is an international fireworks display in Macau. As a romantic Pisces girl, I will naturally not miss the romantic scene of fireworks in the sky~ I just found out that the first fireworks are on September 7th, and there will be a total of 6 fireworks every week after that. This time, there were 12 fireworks shows in total, and the gorgeous and colorful fireworks beside the Macau Tower kept flashing in my mind. Choosing a day is worse than hitting the day, so I hurriedly made an appointment with my friends for a trip to Macau.
In fact, it is not the first time for me to come to Macau. I have visited almost all the attractions in Macau, big and small, and because of this, I fell in love with this city rich in history and refreshing.
Decisively chose to stay in the long-awaited Macau Wynn Palace Hotel. I was originally attracted by the cable car in front of here, and saw all kinds of ins-style internet celebrity check-in photos. I felt that I must go to this hotel that dares to be called the Palace.
As soon as the hotel enters the lobby, it is actually a Ferris wheel decorated with flowers. It is luxurious and elegant with a golden dome. The overall service of the hotel is also very good. After registration, I can't wait to check in to the room~
I chose a lake-view room. Sitting by the window, you can enjoy the fountain of the performance lake downstairs. The performance lake has a fountain performance for 30 minutes during the day and 20 minutes at night. The rest of the time is the basic fountain. It is recommended to choose a special time Waiting to watch, the weather is fine and you can see the rainbow. Babies who don't live here can also watch it next to the cable car station or by cable car. The cable car is actually free. Personally recommend coming from other places to take the cable car to enter the Wynn Palace, which is convenient and can clearly watch the performance of the performance lake.
I arrived in Macau a day earlier than my little sisters in the same company. It is not perfect to lie comfortably in the hotel for a day. Finally, when my friend came, our theme this time was to watch the fireworks. After eating with her, we dropped off our luggage at the hotel and headed straight to the fireworks that I was thinking about. This time we watched the first show between Malaysia and the Philippines. , The first set off time is 9:00 and the second set is at 9:40, everyone must go to reserve a seat in advance, there are too many people who come to Macau to watch the fireworks, this is a famous international event.
The fireworks are set off near the Macau Tower. The place we chose is the Yawen Lake. In fact, there are many recommended viewing spots on the Internet, but I personally think that the grass Yawen Lake is not the best viewing spot. I recommend a few more suitable ones. Fireworks viewing spots, on the Macau Tower, Bishop Hill Observation Deck, No. 1 Lakeside, and other friends who took photos on the cruise ship later are also very good.
Fireworks bloom instantly in the sky, lighting up the calm night sky, fleeting like a shooting star, quietly making a small wish in my heart~ By the way, the Macao International Fireworks Display Contest is held on September 7, 13, 21, and 28 And on October 1st and October 5th, there are two shows every day. You can choose to arrange your favorite time to watch a romantic fireworks with your favorite people.
On the third day in Macau, I chose to bring my friends to experience a different kind of Macau. First go to the Museum of Macao’s Handover Commemorative Gifts, next to the Macao Museum of Art, friends who have time can visit together. The Macao Handover Gifts Exhibition Hall is free and open. It displays the gifts from Macao’s return to the motherland and from various provinces and municipalities. Each province has sent gifts with local characteristics. You can also guess which gift is which province or city with your friends. Gift.
It is very close to Fisherman's Wharf, about a 10-minute walk. In fact, I have heard of Fisherman's Wharf for a long time, but I have been missing it for various reasons. I accidentally planted willows and willows, and finally I can see the mystery of Fisherman's Wharf. I thought it was just a simple pier, but I didn’t expect that when I entered, I thought I had traveled to Europe. The antique buildings are an excellent photo spot. I feel like I am on the streets of Rome. I recommend wearing European-style modern ones. Dresses with sunglasses and big-brimmed hats are absolutely perfect, and I saw a lot of people who came here to take wedding photos.
In the afternoon, I decided to go shopping near the Ruins of St. Paul’s. If I still have time to check my watch, I would rather go and see the Fortune Tree and Wynn Dragon in the urban area of Wynn. The Fortune Tree rises every half hour, and the golden light is lifelike. Occasionally, one or two small gold coins will be dropped. fall. A golden dragon rises from the clouds and mist at every punctual point, just like a soaring dragon and a fog. If you want to take a photo, you have to take a seat early.
For lunch, I decided to try a fried pork rice with egg. I accidentally saw the name of Huagusi Ice Room. It is located directly opposite Guanyintang. , You can order takeaway if you live nearby, but it’s okay to go to eat specially. It’s just a small fast food restaurant. It’s about 800 meters away from the Ruins of St. Paul’s, but you have to climb a hill.
The time to arrive at the Ruins of St. Paul's in the afternoon is just right. After shopping, you can wait for the sunset at the Fortress. The Ruins of St. Paul's, the Macau Museum, and the Fortress are together. It is recommended that everyone can go shopping. It may take at least 2 hours to finish walking together.
The Ruins of St. Paul's is a combination of European Renaissance and Oriental architectural styles. It is the site of the front wall of the Church of the Mother of God (that is, St. Paul's Church). The church has experienced three fires, and it has been burned repeatedly until October 26, 1835. The last fire burned it down and only the church remained. The front wall of the main entrance is named "Sanba Arch" because it resembles a traditional Chinese archway. After visiting the archway, you can walk into the Catholic Art Museum inside the archway.
The Macau Museum is next to the Dasanba. The museum is mainly divided into three floors. The first floor shows the early history of Macau, the second floor shows the folk art and traditions of Macau, the third floor shows the objects of contemporary Macau, and now there is a "Ancient Memories of the Silk Road - Special Exhibition of Xixia Cultural Relics", babies who like Xixia civilization must not miss it. Visiting the museum can see the changes and development of Macau along the way, from a small fishing village to what it is now.
Going all the way up the museum is the Big Fort, which is one of the oldest surviving Western-style fort complexes in China. In addition to the fort that can be seen, this is also an excellent place to appreciate the cityscape of Macau. If you look far away at sunset, the whole city is covered with golden sand, and you can have a panoramic view of the scenery.
Walking down from the Fortress, you can stroll to the location of the Ruins of St. Paul’s, and walk slowly to the front of the meeting hall. In fact, there are many small streets and alleys with special charm near the St. Paul’s. It’s a pity that the sunset is already gone. It's getting dark, otherwise you must do more shopping nearby.
Before going to the front of the meeting hall, you will see a rose hall, which is famous for enshrining the Virgin of the Rosary. Because it was only built of wooden boards at first, it was called "Ban Zhang Hall" by the Chinese. The rose hall has been closed at night. If you want to visit the inside Remember to go before 6 o'clock.
Senado Square is located opposite the headquarters of the Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau. In 2005, it was included in the World Cultural Heritage List as part of the Historic City of Macau. When I went there, it coincided with the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day. Lanterns and lights were placed on the square early. Yutu, celebrating the birthday of the motherland.
For dinner, I chose to go to the Dumbo Portuguese restaurant recommended by the taxi driver. The driver I met in Macau was very enthusiastic and recommended this Portuguese restaurant that he thought was good. It's already 8 o'clock when I went there, and there is no need to queue up in the store. Order the must-eat Portuguese chicken to taste the craftsmanship. It is paired with a spaghetti and a broccoli. The store will also give away a meal bag for each person. It’s perfect, but I personally think that the Portuguese chicken is not as delicious as the one I ate on the Fifth Street in October. If you go to the Fifth Street in October, you can check out the one on the left hand side of the church. I don’t remember the name. The environment is average but the taste is really good~ Listen It is said that the puppet next to it and this one used to be the same shop. Because of the separation of the owners, there are now two shops, but the overall taste is similar. If you have eaten, you can tell me if this is the case.
In fact, the restaurant is next to Guanye Street. Most of the restaurants and souvenir shops on Guanye Street are closed at night. I only saw a Mid-Autumn Festival lantern in the distance, reminding me that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.
How can I be willing to end my trip to Macau like this, watching the evening flight, and revisiting my favorite Guanye Street in the morning. Guanye Street is named after the 81st Governor of Macau. It is one of the important streets in Taipa Old Town.
There are many delicious foods in Guanye Street, such as beef offal, Andrew’s egg tarts, dried meat, almond cakes, coffee, milk tea, and Internet celebrity Changzhou glutinous rice cakes are all in this area. Many souvenirs can be bought back for relatives and friends. You can taste it before you buy it. My personal favorite is Andrew's Egg Tart. I must buy a box every time to share with my friends. Remember not to just take the vertical line of Guanye Street, there are good movies and hidden delicacies waiting to be discovered in the nearby alleys.
Going straight from Guanye Street for about a few hundred meters is Longhuan Puyun. It is a museum based on five Portuguese-style houses on the seaside road. Although there were few tourists this time, it was unfortunate that it was closed on Monday. Museum, I have to wait for the next time to continue to visit.
Back to the hotel for lunch, and pack your luggage by the way. By the way, I chose the super internet-famous Tiffany blue for my room. It is recommended to order breakfast in the room. The service is very good. You can choose from Chinese, Western, and Japanese breakfasts, and you can also take pictures in the concave shape of the room. Large, elegant and noble, ladies and sisters must eat my wave of grass ~
The bathroom in the room is relatively large, with golden combs, golden toothbrushes, and golden razors, all of which fit the name "Imperial Palace". My room comes with a massage room. Sisters who like spa may know that the spa here has won the five-star honor awarded by Forbes Travel Guide. If you are lazy to go downstairs to experience it, you can also book a massage room like me. Comfortable room, experience a comfortable spa in the room.
Wynn Palace is a comprehensive resort hotel. There are many types of food and beverage options and price levels. There are cost-effective set menus of about 100 yuan, and there are also characteristic boutique Cantonese restaurants and American steakhouses. Below are some recommended ones that I went to. Restaurants I have eaten at:
The Palace Cafe mainly serves Thai food. When I checked in, I was given a 100 discount coupon. I ordered a set meal downstairs plus a service fee of 107.5 MOP. The taste is also very authentic. A set meal is just enough for one person. If you don’t like it, you can also order it separately. The price-performance ratio is super recommended!
Wing Lei Palace has nothing to say about the environment and taste. You can enjoy the fountain show when you eat. This is "Asia's 50 Best Restaurants", a standard Cantonese restaurant. In fact, there are many authentic and delicious Cantonese restaurants in Macau. Macau is not the only one with Portuguese cuisine~ I am very lucky to have the dishes cooked by Chef Tan himself. Every dish is exquisite like a handicraft, which is a bit strange I have the heart to eat it. By the way, men need to wear long trousers, sleeved tops and closed shoes when dining, and sports caps are not allowed. Girls' dress is a little less strict, so it's better to be big and convenient.
Little Italy Italy, as the name suggests, is Italian food. Pizza is baked directly, and the price is very affordable. The average person is about 100 yuan. I personally like Italian food very much, so when my friend asked me what to eat when it was difficult to choose, I immediately decided Come eat this~ I recommend Magritte pizza, the mellow cheese and the salty aroma of ham are just like the taste of Italian streets.
After dinner, take a walk in the hotel. If you like to visit luxury stores, I still recommend coming here. The first floor of the hotel is a square corridor, so you don’t have to worry about getting lost and finding your room. There is also a giant flower sculpture in Ximen, which is said to be replaced regularly. No wonder the sculpture I did my homework in advance is different from the one I saw in front of me. In addition, there is a priceless art treasure in the hotel, a set of four rare Chinese Qing dynasty ceramic vases - Duke Buckler Vases, which is in the middle of the corridor connecting the south gate to the north gate, you can enjoy it if you have time.
There is also an art exhibition "Wynn Art Appreciation - Paradise on Earth" in the hotel, which is an exhibition under the theme of "Art Macao", a large-scale international cultural and art event launched in Macau in 2019, from June to October At the end, if you have time, you must go and enjoy it. I like this melted memory the most. Through the combination of technology and art, the painting is displayed in front of our eyes. I can't help but want to take a look and let myself fall into endless memories. This work of Macao Flow is a painting created by collecting the sea level activities in Macao within 30 days. Many young ladies will also take silhouettes here~
Macau seems to have a special magic power, which made me look forward to the next trip to Macau before I set foot on the journey home.
Well, this trip to Macau is over here, have you started your preparations yet?
