Wondering about the City
Macau has earned the title of the Oriental Las Vegas as it is a gamblers' paradise, however, it is also a beautiful city with clear streets, gardens and picturesque hilly landscapes. A wander around the city is a fantastic experience especially with Lio!
I stayed at Taipa and Coloane (Cotai Strip) at Lio's place for 3 days, 1 day at Venetian and 1 day at Rocks Hotel - all his treat, lucky ME though I have to pay for all i shopped for. I took public bus of 33 to and from Cotai (3.30MOP per person) to tour by myself whenever he's at work.
The inner city area of Macau is ideally suited for exploration on foot and there is much to discover in the many winding streets to be found close to the main square, Largo do Senado in the downtown or along the waterfront avenues in the southern part of the city near Nam Van or Outer Harbor. I was not disappointed when he toured me there.
These streets close to Largo do Senado, are home to numerous restaurants, bars and cafes and clothing shops. You will find elegant Baroque style buildings from the old days and surprising local delicacies. Walking in a southerly direction along Avenida da Praia Grande will bring the visitor to the area near Nam Van.
Macau Grand Prix
Karting is favored by the many car racing lovers who are fascinated in the Macau Grand Prix, a well-known international formula 3 game held in the city. It is much easier to drive and participants are not necessarily required for licenses.
Enthralling Nightlife
Macau by day gives an impression of a graceful and tranquil city with old Euro-style buildings set against the blue sky, where people wander at leisure along the narrow and winding streets. However, as night falls a new world of enchantment opens up to the sparkling nightlife of the Macanese. The many entertainment venues and restaurants are open until late and welcome all who come to enjoy the festive atmosphere that pervades the night.
My very favorite: Hotel Lisboa in a large bird-cage building is the king among these venues. The façade entrance is designed like the big mouth of a tiger and on the lobby dome there is a heart with numerous prickles to symbolize the punishment of gamblers' greed. However, such warnings are formalities and are heeded by many with the same degree of nonchalance as the
Night Walking
For those who are seeking a money-saving choice of nightly entertainment, a stroll around those parts of the city that are very busy by day can leave you with unique impressions. The popular destinations include the main square, Largo do Senado, Ruins of St. Paul's, Clube Militar de Macau and Macau Houses Museum.
Fishman's Wharf
A prime amusement attraction in Macau is called Fishman's Wharf. It is an entertainment complex boasts new experience with buildings in a variety of exotic western and oriental architectural styles. It combines entertainment, shopping, restaurants, hotels, docks and convention facilities in one place with driveways and parking.
Amazing Venetian: The Venetian® Macao-Resort-Hotel plays a crucial role in making Macau one of Asia's most exciting entertainment destinations and preeminent convention and exhibition venues. Large enough to hold ninety Boeing 747 jumbo jets, nowhere else in Asia will you find such a rare combination of facilities, attractions and amenities than at this 3,000 suite flagship property. In the Grand Canal Shoppes, there are more than 350 shops of unmatched premium retail experience set in elegant streetscapes reminiscent of Venice .
Place is so romantic gladly spent with Lio, so weet remembrance.
