Note ！！！！！！ It is recommended that before you go to play in Macau, please refer to the following three suggestions, you will be in the middle of the tour to achieve unexpected results and gains.
One, before you go to Macau, it is best to change the amount of yuan you want to use into Hong Kong dollars. Because the vast majority of Macau only recognize Hong Kong dollars and Portuguese dollars, and Hong Kong dollars and Portuguese dollars equivalent, it is best not to change the Portuguese currency, the Portuguese currency is not common in Hong Kong. And remember to change some change to take the bus **** bus, the bus **** bus is unmanned ticket, usually ￥ 2.5 yuan / person. To go to Macau can bring DV, camera, etc., cell phone to be able to inquire about the freedom, go to open the international roaming on it.
Two, such as the weekend to go, and to live on a night, it is best to find a local or Zhuhai travel agency to help you book a room in the hotel in Macau, otherwise the temporary booking is generally more expensive and not. Of course, if you have more money nowhere to spend, this clause automatically does not stand. Generally the price of temporarily booking a standard room ranges from 700-1000 yuan, while booking through a travel agent is usually not more than 300, sometimes lower.
Three, only three languages are generally spoken in Macau: English, Portuguese, and Cantonese (Cantonese). In order not to appear for the first time into Macau, the first stop is recommended to go to Avenida de Almeida Nueva (Municipal Plaza), the most famous with small stones paved with beige and black wavy patterned road, has been extending into the distance, there is a fountain in the middle of the place, in the upper-left corner of the Tourist Office to get free maps and a variety of attractions and other information (I heard that not long to the move place, to the casual ask a person to know). You take a copy of each kind of information, it will help a lot in the next tour and arrangement. The main thing is that with the map you can walk around the major attractions in Macau.
Well, here's the guide to this two-day trip to Macau. In fact, you don't need any guide to play in Macau, all most of the attractions are on a line, and you can walk to them, as long as you have a map, what guide is superfluous. I am writing this article to thank everyone who has helped me and my friends who need to go to Macau. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to do it, and I'm sure I'm going to be able to do it.
1, Departure:
September 13, 8:00 am in front of the Fuhua Hotel in Zhongshan to concentrate on a look at the time is still early, not far from the side of the "fast and beautiful" ate a breakfast, pork sausage noodles taste good. A line of three people ate while talking and laughing, the results missed the 8:30 to Gongbei car. We had to wait for the next one at 9:00am from Zhongshan Fuhua Hotel, passing through Wu Gui Shan, San Xiang, and finally arriving at the square of Gongbei Port. It took about 1 hour. To Zhuhai when to pass through a checkpoint, there is a handsome up to check, the results of the rush down a few people, needless to say is not to do the border pass, but all can do to go to Hong Kong and Macao tour, this border pass can be eliminated without having to do it, just Hong Kong and Macao Travel Permit in front of the handsome shaking a little bit on the OK la. You think ah, Hong Kong and Macao you can enter and exit, but also do not let you go into Shenzhen and Zhuhai.
Costs: (1) Tickets: Zhongshan Fuhua Hotel - Zhuhai Gongbei Port ￥ 15 yuan / person. (If you buy a round-trip ticket is only ￥ 25 yuan / person, valid for three days, we bought this trip is a round-trip ticket, save 5 yuan / person. (This car at half-time and punctual bus, get on the bus to buy tickets) (2) Breakfast: ￥ 5 yuan / person (3) lunch in Macao: ￥ 10 yuan / person (in Zhuhai or the departure place to buy good, what ham, bread, mineral water, snacks and so on)
One of the car on the Zhuhai seaside city to feel the unique flavor, the opposite side of the look over to Macao, which is our destination. I can see the car traveling in Macao from afar. Because Zhuhai is not the destination of our trip, so we did not make any stops, and went straight to the Gongbei Port Border Inspection Station.
2, into the customs:
One into the border station gate, black pressure, all the people, look at my eyes dizzy, originally Zhongshan is the first batch of July 28 this year, the earliest people can do a Hong Kong and Macao tours of one of the cities, I was also in this time to do well, but delayed again and again, to go to Macao in early September, Figure what, not just want to figure out how few people ah. Border control entrances and exits are divided into three categories of entry and exit, the queue to the door of the individual Hong Kong and Macao Exit Permit holders (mainland residents channel), **** there are four channels it, and look at the frame try to increase the number of people are still increasing, because the queue has been fast into the curved shape la. The second category is to hold a Macao Resident Identity Card, needless to say the queue is also long, even if there is no one, we can not enjoy this treatment. The third category is with the tour group, the number of people is not small, but compared to the mainland residents channel is considered less. At this time you will see the door to the left, that is, next to the WC, there are a few tables surrounded by a lot of people, a inquire, the original can spend 10 yuan RMB to do a temporary individual tour group, you can go to the travel channel of large cleaner, I think the money is worth it, if the queue is less than an hour it. In short, a word cool, I heard that you can also come back without queuing yo, then you will know the mystery of it. Of course, this is for all the channels are not queuing up the case is not necessary to spend the 10 dollars. But the generalization that you can have such an opportunity in the middle of the day is O ah.
Once out of the Gongbei border checkpoint, across the street is Macau, of course, you can just see, not really stepped into this originally belongs to China's territory. You still have to walk through the nine curves and eighteen bays, fill out a health declaration form from the Health Bureau of the Macau Special Administrative Region Government, and pass through the border checkpoints of Macau before you can really enter this tiny place - Macau.
One out of the Macau checkpoint, across the road all the cars are changed to the left, cabs look a little like watching American police movies in the police car, and most of them are Toyota cars to come, high-grade extreme la. Go out to the right and walk about 50 meters or so, next to a new stadium will pass, you can see the Guanzha bus terminal.
3, the first stop: Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro (Municipal Plaza, Fountain, Ruins of St. Paul's, Fortress, Macao Museum, Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau, Post Office, Macau Government Tourist Office, Our Lady of the Rosary, shopping areas, etc.)
Why the first stop to go to Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro, you see my list later, you will know why it is so much more than just the attractions in the line, and can be walked to, the whole of Macao at once, you will be able to see the whole of Macao in a few minutes. In a moment, the whole of Macau's probably you know one or two, the main thing is to go to the tourist office to get all the free information about Macau. This will help you organize your trip to Macau.
From the Guanzha bus terminal, you can take the 3A, 10 and other buses in the "Avenida de Almeida Nueva (city center)" this station, all buses in Macao are unmanned, in the island of Macao are Macao patacas (also known as the Portuguese currency) ￥ 2.5 yuan / person. The best way to get there is to take the No. 10 bus, which is faster. In fact, what kind of car is the same, Macau is very small, just for the first time into this piece of land, need some time to get used to it. Because all the cars are traveling on the left, so the people who get on the bus are also on the left, along the bus line you can relax a little bit all the mood slowly enjoy this extremely strong Portuguese flavor of the city.
As soon as you get off the bus to Avenida Nueva Mar, walk a few dozen meters to the Plaza Municipal, where there is a fountain. On weekends, there are local students and organizations that hold charity performances. I went there just in time for a program organized by the Macau branch of the World Red Cross. As you walk in, you can see the Rosary Church, the Ruins of St. Paul's, the Fortress, the Macau Museum, etc. In the shopping area, there is also the Hong Kong S.A.R.T. Museum. In the shopping area, there is also a Hong Kong SASA Macau branch, specializing in cosmetics for girls. Behind the Ruins of St. Paul's, there are stairs up to the second floor, where you can see some pigeons resting on the top, among which you can see a lot of little girls throwing coins of 10 cents and 50 cents. Behind the Ruins of St. Paul's go in a dozen meters there is a Western Cemetery, there is nothing scary inside, at the entrance there is usually a GG, a MM guard, but free access. Interested can go in to see. There is a camp street on the right, some Macao residents inside the residence, but also some local specialties of snacks for sale. Inside is relatively large, you can shop for a long time. Next to the Ruins of St. Paul's, there are signs that point up the hill to the Fortress and the Macao Museum, of which the Macao Museum has an entrance fee.
4, the second stop: Lisboa (Taipa Bridge, Lotus, racing, wine museum, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Macao, Hong Kong and Macao Ferry Terminal, back to the casino, the new Yaohan, etc.)
I think that when you go to Macao, there is no reason not to go to the Lisboa, regardless of whether you love to gamble or not, to see a large-scale casino that can only be seen in Hong Kong movies, but also value for money ah. From the Ruins of St. Paul's out back to the original Municipal Services Plaza, along Avenida Infante Yin Huangzi walked to the Lisboa but ten minutes it, along the road you can see a lot of the mainland is not common beautiful car. Lisboa appearance in the daytime to see nothing special place, the night was particularly beautiful light a light, and you can see the roof of the 10,000 arrows through the heart.
Once inside there is a very gentlemanly GG want you to go to the hands of the bag and camera and other things to deposit, because this inside security is particularly tight. In addition to the money basically nothing can bring to go into. Haha. MM's personalized small bag except. After the check off, inside is not divided into day and night ah, the first floor is mainly blackjack, slot machines, gambling, big and small points, etc., and 90% of the mainlanders, which is about 70% of the women yo. It seems that girls gambling up is not worse than boys. Downstairs, the negative floor and upstairs are all casinos. I didn't go in, I heard that we can't get in upstairs. After experiencing the legal casino, I came out, next to the large and small pawnshops, so I don't need to say I know what's going on. The casino can only be used with Hong Kong dollars and Portuguese dollars, you want to gamble a little bit, you have to change the money before you go in.
The Lisboa can be seen from the sea, and the racing car and wine museum can be seen on the way up. We didn't go in. Several other attractions are nearby and within walking distance. One of the casinos is the Jai-Alai Casino, which is also a casino, and you can tell just by the name. We went in and had to get our personal Hong Kong and Macau passes checked before we were allowed in. The Taipa Bridge is directly across the street from the Lisboa Hotel. It is a two-lane bridge that connects Taipa and Taipa. The Lotus in Bloom is Macau's district flower, and next to it is an exhibition hall with items symbolizing the local characteristics of each province given to celebrate the return of Macau, with Hong Kong being the most disgusting. The most disgusting ones are from Hong Kong. You'll know when you see them. Let you do not dare to imagine that this is the Hong Kong compatriots to send. Here do not say more, have time to go and see to know.
5, the third stop: A-Ma Temple (A-Ma Temple, Maritime Museum, Macau Tower, etc.)
After lunch, we intended to take a taxi to the A-Ma Temple, and then thought for a moment, originally Macao is small, but also want to walk very casually, gave up the idea, agreed to walk over. In the end, you will cheer for their wise choice, because along the city square to go to the Lisboa driving in the opposite direction, to the crossroads, casually ask the passer-by A, or passer-by B, there will be someone to tell you how to go. Then walk up the side of the sea, about fifteen minutes, you can see a short hill, written on it three words "A-Ma Temple", it means you have arrived. There is no need to doubt yourself, just walk in, you can see some dilapidated buildings, some crowded men and women of faith, holding incense and bowing to worship.
There is a Maritime Museum next to the Makgol Temple, which has an entrance fee. We didn't go in to see it, we just took a picture of the place. Along the way up a small road, walk not far, you can see far away from the Macau Tower, then in the sea there are people in the dragon boat race it, but there is no mood to see. The new Yaohan is a large shopping center. The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money to buy a new car, and then you'll have to pay for it.
6, fourth stop: off the island: Taipa (University of Macau, Macau International Airport, Macau University of Science and Technology, Macau Racecourse, etc.)
This stop is just a ride to the Coloane, so I did not stop to play, leave it to the next time to go. I heard that Macau's racecourse is also quite famous.
7, the fifth stop: the outlying islands: Coloane (Hac Sa Park, Hac Sa Beach, etc.)
To go to Coloane is that night in the M in the dinner, want to go to see, because we turned to the new road ah, so from the new road to take the 26, 26A, etc. can be reached (remember yo: Macau's bus station stops can be rotated with the hands of the stop sign). To and from Hac Sa Beach, it's AUD 5 per person. That's $10 for a round trip. But once you're on the bus you'll know it's worth the $5, because this road loop is really far, and there's not much scenery next to it. Only when you get to the destination, which is the terminal, that is, to the black sand park, black sand beach. Only then will feel that there is no white, in the black sand beach can enjoy listening to the sound of the sea, you can barbecue in the park, walk, etc., it is best to couples to yo. This is romantic enough.
The round trip along the way through the University of Macau, Macau International Airport, the Macau University of Science and Technology, these attractions we did not stop, interested in their own get off to see. It's about 9:00 pm back to Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro. Then go to find a place to live, where we found no booking through the room is how troublesome, a question are several hundreds of ocean ah, can not afford to live in such a high-grade, just casually live a 250 yuan, but also the Hong Kong dollar. In the evening and then go to the town square, the lights scene is very beautiful, and you can sit on the side of the chair looking at the crowd, once again full of Portuguese style of the small town.
