Macau Travel Blogs


Colonized by the Portuguese in the 16th century, Macau was the first European settlement in the Far East. Pursuant to an agreement signed by China and Portugal on 13 April 1987, Macau became the Macau Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China on 20 December 1999. China has promised that, under its "one country, two systems" formula, China's socialist economic system will not be practiced in Macau, and that Macau will enjoy a high degree of autonomy in all matters except foreign and defense affairs for the next 50 years.To be updated

During a brief April holiday my friends and I decided it was finally time to check out Macau. It was only a short ferry ride from Shenzhen and, after finding all the affordable accommodations taken, took a day trip instead of spending the whole weekend there. Best decision ever. Macau was meh. To be fair, we really didn’t plan anything. We boarded the ferry sometime around eight in the morning. The ride was pleasant enough until a baby in the dreaded crotchless pants took a runny dump two rows in front of us. The smell was horrendous and only made worse [View Full Entry]

Day 4 The circular fountain was centered in the plaza that lay at the end of a cobblestone street, lined on both sides by colorful buildings that once housed various Portugese businesses but today are occupied by shops like Haagen Dazs and the Body Shop. Macau has a distinctly old world, European feel at its core and for the day, I felt like I'd left Asia and could have been roaming the streets of 18th century Lisbon. We tried to spend our time seeing the old town rather than the glitz of the casinos and Gucci windows that greet you when [View Full Entry]

Dear friends, This morning we leave our hotel in Hong Kong for a 3 days and 2 nights escape in the Venetian Casino and Resort Hotel Macau. We read about the Venetian Hotel in the weekly travelpart of the Algemeen Dagblad (a Dutch newspaper). The hotel is open since 2007 and is the largest casino and resort hotel in Macau - Taipa Island. Bear booked this escape as a farewell UMCG present for Monkey. It is here really great. The suite is fantastic, the service is great and there are also five swimmingpools with private cabanas (including airconditioning and a huge [View Full Entry]

Pre-MacauEvents Just another "we will miss the flight!" scare; feels like crying just the thought of it(a.k.a huhuhu, i don't want to waste PHP9,000++)! Of course we still made it to the Airport ;) we were the last ones to board. Just to be informed that our flight will be delayed for 30 minutes. Our plane finally took off at around 8:30ish. It was just a small plane, just as small as the ones used in the domestic flights. More than an hour after taking off, we were informed that our plane was having technical difficulties and that we were going [View Full Entry]

uma fuga do fim de semana Asia » Macau
With only a few months left, Liz and I made a list of things to see and do both in Shenzhen and in all of China. Last weekend's destination: MACAU, a former Portuagese colony (the first and last European colony of China) often dubbed "the Las Vegas of China." Friday was cool and rainy, and Kiki called me to meet her at the 4 kuai dumpling shop to eat some ban mian (noodles in in peanut sauce with chives) before heading to Shekou to catch the ferry to Macau. I saw her ahead of me on the sidewalk, and ran to [View Full Entry]

June 16-18, 2007 Found my way from the Guangzhou train station to the shuttle bus that takes you to Macau. It was suppose to be at this big hotel but because of renovations they moved it across the street at some exhibition place. I had trouble finding where to buy the tickets cause it was tucked away in the parking lot. The ride was about 1h30mins if I remember correctly. Got off at customs and while waiting in line met this Mexican dude who was visiting a friend. We took a taxi together into town. He was pretty cool, works for [View Full Entry]

We took the Macau ferry from Hong Kong to spend the day. Our first stop was the Macau Tower, which provided great views of the surrounding area, even though it wasn't a very clear day. It was fun to watch the people bunji jumping from the top of tower. There is also a skywalk thing they have, where you can walk outside along the ledge surrounding the tower (secured in, of course.) It's a pretty neat idea, even if that ledge did get in the way of some of my pictures. We stopped at a random restaurant for lunch, and the [View Full Entry]

“There is a problem with the engine” said the Captain not long after we had passed the half way point aboard our ferry from Hong Kong to Macau. Quite a commotion followed; the hosties weren’t quite sure what to make of the alarm or the reaction of the people on board, namely Chinese people who were terrified the ferry was going to sink. Lots of life jackets were donned and photos taken. A few people became quite irate when there was another pipe made “We are sorry for inconvenience but we will now be arriving three hours later than expected”. This [View Full Entry]

It's been a great few days in Hong Kong, though I'm a tad hungover today after a late night out in Macau yesterday. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me give you a quick rundown of our stay here before I go pack my suitcase and allow Neil and Yuko to enjoy the privacy of their home once again. We showed up on Sunday afternoon after the full day train ride and, like I've mentioned, immediately enjoyed the sunny weather. We spent Monday on Kowloon shopping for cheap electronics and being tempted by all the other cheap goodies in the [View Full Entry]

Everybody visited the same places today but at different times. Some of the highlights were the Ruins of St. Paul which is an icon for Macao, next to it is the Monte Fortress with great views of the city. Also visited was Fisherman's Wharf which is a complex of areas featuring different architecture, restaurants and shops such Portugal, New Orleans, Old Macao. Took to the bus to Cotai between th islands of Taipa and Coloane and visited the Venetian. They had great shopping and food arcade. We found a great new casino game, video roulette. A covered roulette wheel is surrounded [View Full Entry]
