Macao is divided into Macao Peninsula, two outlying islands (Taipa Island and Luchuan Island) and Luchuan City between the two outlying islands.
38. Mazu Pavilion, New Lisboa, Macau Tower and New Yaohan are all located in the Macau Peninsula. There are three bridges connecting the peninsula and outlying islands, and the Governor Caribbean Bridge in the middle is the only one that can be crossed on foot.
The area between the two outlying islands, Taizi and Luhuan, is Luchuan City, where the main emerging entertainment venues are located. Taizai, north of Lubao, is also a popular area for tourists, for example, Longhuan Puyun Residential Museum, Rua do Cunha and so on. Macau International Airport is also here. On the south side of the road, there is a relatively primitive roundabout. You can go directly to the Black Beach by car, and then have a simple tour and lunch in the downtown area.
Currency: Although there are Macao patacas, it seems that Hong Kong dollars are more popular and easier to exchange in the Mainland. There is little difference in exchange rates. The difference between RMB 100 yuan and the above two is about 1 yuan. Some banks need to make an appointment to exchange Hong Kong dollars.
Cash payment: Many stores will charge "HKD: MOP = 1: 1", that is to say, if you pay HKD, you will get MOP change, regardless of the exchange rate difference. Individual stores will also pay RMB according to 1: 1 Please read it carefully and ask in advance. I met.
Mobile payment: not fully covered. Bus, taxi, 7- 1 1 are basically not supported, but some small shops support WeChat or Alipay scan code to automatically convert into RMB, which is very convenient. Many stores can also get coupons. Same as above, before scanning the code, it is suggested to ask whether it is calculated according to the exchange rate, otherwise it is not cost-effective to pay in the same amount of MOP.
Credit card: large shopping malls and shops are acceptable, but not all small shops frequented by local residents support it.
Use 6 yuan cash to buy tickets, and don't change your own coins. The driver will drive after seeing the correct amount;
You can get a discount by swiping the Macau Pass. /kloc-It is more cost-effective to buy a Macau Pass for more than 0/day. You can buy it at a treasure and carry it with you. Although I wrote an email to the Macau Transportation Bureau asking about this matter before, I learned that I could use UnionPay QuickPay, but the cards were unsuccessful and the driver said that they could not be used.
There are many stations, and the lines in urban areas usually run every 5- 10 minutes. The official APP:DSAT Traffic Consultation Station is highly recommended, which can check the location of each car in real time, and there are still several stops to arrive after work. The bus stop sign also has the departure interval and the first and last time of each line, which is very convenient.
Personally, I think it is very expensive. It is more cost-effective for four people to take a car, and the baggage fee is extra. We only accept cash, and accept Hong Kong dollars, RMB and Macao dollars. Generally, change is made in Macao dollars.
All major casinos and hotels provide free shuttle buses to and from the airport, Macao Peninsula, major scenic spots and their own hotels. However, some hotels have fewer flights and some need to provide shopping vouchers.
Local calling card: I bought it from a treasure and brought it directly. On average, you can get less than 8 yuan a day, and you can buy it at the speed of 4G at Macau Airport. I didn't pay attention to the price.
Open overseas traffic: sometimes it takes about 10 to catch up with the promotion, and the original price is 20 yuan, but it may be 3G network speed, and the feedback speed of friends is not very stable. If there is not much demand, you can open one. Anyway, hotels have Wifi.
The monetary unit involved in this paper is Macao currency.
Consumption level: People who often live in Chinese mainland say it is very high. Breakfast in local shops is about one person in 20 yuan, starting from bread 10 yuan, coffee/milk tea 12, noodle soup 18, and 20 pork buns (about 35 in places with many tourists). Although it seems that the unit price is not high, it is not as cheap as soybean milk fritters in Chinese mainland. Curious barber shop price: washing and blowing 80, shearing 1 10.
Supermarkets are relatively cheaper. Lailai, Miao Xin and Chang Cheng are very common in the street. They often buy bottled mineral water (2 yuan), mainly for changing coins and taking buses. I wanted to go to 7- 1 1, but I bought a single bottle of Yakult (4 yuan) bottled water in 7.2 yuan. The clerk was considerate and asked if 20 coins were enough.
Buffet: Before I checked the Raiders, I saw that everyone was saying that the buffet in Macau was cheap, so I went to the public to comment on the price and felt that it was similar to the mainland. After the discount, it is 100 yuan. It's really cost-effective to arrive, because nothing else is cheap: Portuguese chicken noodles in Jinsha Food City 60, McDonald's set meal in Melville 50+.
In this place where gambling (often called casino locally) is legal, you should go for a walk anyway. This turning point has really changed my previous impression of casinos.
Mainly visited several major casinos in Luchuan New Town:
I went to all the regular large casinos this time, and I didn't find the legendary cheating plot. There are countless cameras on the roof, and some gambling tables have two.
2 1 year-old can enter the casino at will. You don't need tickets and certificates, but you need security. It is forbidden to take photos, so there are no photos here. Shooting at the door was also stopped, and some people were asked by the staff to delete photos on the spot.
The staff perform their duties, the venue is orderly and isolated, and it is difficult for us working-class people to integrate. Of course, for entertainment, it is still possible to gamble a few times.
The most concerned staff is probably "He Guan". He Guan is the staff in charge of licensing and chip exchange at the gambling table. There is one person at each table for small games and two or four people at each table for big games. He wears a uniform and serious uniform, and he is usually expressionless and rarely talks. Everything depends on clean gestures, calm and calm, and hundreds or even tens of millions of chips on the table have nothing to do with it, more like a robot. However, some lotus officials will euphemistically say: I'm sorry when you leave after losing hundreds of thousands ~
By the way, entertainment places also provide water, tea, milk tea and coffee for free, and only drink one cup in the places we have consumed, otherwise we will feel that it is cheap, haha.
1 day: arrive at noon, go on a business trip, 19:00 and go to the peninsula.
Visit after 2: 0019: 00 during the day and visit the casino at night.
Day 3: Full-day tour, road ring, peninsula and road ao.
Day 4: Taizai, 19:00 takes off.
Near the bus → Sai Van Lake Fireworks Show → Back to the hotel.
Time: 3 hours
Cost: bus 12 yuan/person, mineral water 2 yuan.
At first, I planned to watch only the fireworks show. I was afraid I wouldn't have time to come the next day, so I took a look at St. Paul's archway. I can see the damage marks behind the arch. From the other side behind, I can see the new capital of Portugal in the distance, which gives me a panoramic view of ancient and modern China and foreign countries.
If you want to shoot the international fireworks show at 9 pm, you must go early. The least crowded place is probably the Governor's House Bridge in Garleby. The scenery is good, but you should pay attention to safety. My mobile phone can't shoot cool results. Come to a map of official website:
Hao Xin Yinghui → Parisian → Venetian
When you arrive in Macau, you should take a little gamble and see what the major casinos are like, so you can stroll from the west side of the road after 19:00 in the evening. On the third day, I visited the East District.
(1) Xin Hao Ying Hui
It is famous for its 8-character Ferris wheel, which contains hotels and famous shopping centers. The casino is located in the center of the first floor.
② Parisians
③ Venetians
Black Beach → Luhuancheng → Macau Peninsula → major entertainment places in Luchuan (Jinsha Square, city of dreams, MGM, Wynn Palace, Moppers).
For breakfast, I went to the nearby New South New Coffee and delicious food, all of which were eaten by local people, and there were many people. When you go in and find your seat, the waiter will come to the table to order food, pay at the door with the menu, and automatically convert it into RMB with Alipay.
Coffee and milk tea are completely sugar-free You can add sugar and honey to the table. Milk tea is black tea with milk. It tastes without any additives. It is really bitter without sugar. The egg tart was baked on the same day, although it was sold out. Personally, I think the taste is not amazing, but it is not bad. Only 8 yuan.
Ordinary pork buns, only pork chops, seem to be 20 yuan, and the price of vegetables will be higher. The meat is very strong, and every piece is attached to the bone.
After breakfast, take a detour to Black Beach, get off at No.25 Black Beach Station and get on the bus every 20-30 minutes. There are actually few people on the bus. If there is no traffic jam, we can get to the black beach in half an hour.
It is found that the overpasses in Macao are all "complicated", and almost all of them are equipped with elevators and awnings. There is also a photo taken in Macau Peninsula, with flowers on both sides.
If you don't swim, there is nothing to play on the black sand beach. Just look at a few black sands. There are few tourists on weekdays, and occasionally workers come to clean them. There is a small area in the middle for swimming and lifeguards. The seaside is very clean, so you can stay away from the noise of the city and bask in the sun.
In order to avoid excessive loss of black sand, yellow sand was added.
It's just noon after visiting the black beach, take the bus to the city, and then go to Andrew's coffee shop for lunch.
Some TV plays have been filmed here.
Andrew's bakery is located around the road in the city center. In order to find a place to sit down, I went to Andrew's coffee shop, ordered two ordinary egg tarts, added the seasonal specialty "pumpkin tart" recommended by the clerk, and ordered a Bailey Sweet Caffe latte, so that I didn't have to have lunch at all. I am very satisfied with the egg tart these two days.
There are flowers on both sides ~
The hotel has only two floors, which should be a grand hotel at that time. Films such as Isabella, 2046 and Butterfly were shot here.
The entrance of the building is in the building on the left aisle of the Rose Hall, which seems to have 4-6 floors in total. I can't remember clearly. I buy one kind of food on each floor: vegetables, meat, fish, bean products, etc. It should be the vegetable market of nearby residents.

The streets in the old city of Macau Peninsula are very narrow, and some of them are steep, so many motorcyclists can hardly see bicycles.
I've seen the Raiders before, and it took me a long time to find them in an obscure building. There are few tourists in this place, which can be said to be a local canteen, much like a low-level food street in a shopping mall. The price is much lower than the scenic spot, a bowl of green vegetable noodles 17, more than 20 outside. There is a dining area inside and a children's casino outside.
The following is chezai noodles, which tastes good and has no special taste.
Among the three dipping materials, Chili is delicious.
This building is similar to the one near the Rose Hall, with an extra layer of dining.
It was only after 6 o'clock after dinner, and I went back to Luchuan to visit major casinos.
The bus goes directly to city of dreams and Jinsha Square. What attracts you is the newly opened apple store at the end of June this year, which is the first Apple Store with bamboo forests in the world. It's quiet and the clerk is very enthusiastic.
To the north of Jinsha is the city of dreams. Before taking pictures, go straight to Oriental MGM.
Unfortunately, the casino still forbids taking pictures. Through the casino to the lobby, the lobby at night is empty and shocking, and the waterfall in the electronic display screen is more imposing, but unfortunately it can't be reflected by taking pictures.
Video screenshot, can you vaguely see the big lion passing by?
Wynn Palace is just across the street from MGM. There is a big fountain in front of Wynn. Above the fountain is a sightseeing cable car. You can visit for free. There is a fountain performance every 20 minutes in the afternoon and evening. The music is Broadway style. After visiting several casinos and watching a performance, I felt intoxicated (laughs).
Every hotel and casino is worth a visit or a small gamble.
Xinnanxin Coffee Cuisine → Yinhe Resort → Rua do Cunha and its surroundings → Yongli Palace → Walk to the airport.
In the morning, I came to Xinnanxin to eat something different and wanted to see what bread Francis had. When I served it, I only saw full calories (dumbfounding): the bread was fried with eggs and there was a piece of butter on it (melted), and the syrup in the pot was spilled once when I ate it. This was directed by an enthusiastic local aunt across the street. Well, it's really delicious, but I'm afraid I'll gain a lot of meat if I eat it often, so it's suitable for several friends to share a bite.
After eating and drinking, continue to visit the casino. I haven't been to the nearest galaxy resort, but I found it really big when I went in. The bottom floors of the three buildings are connected, and there is no casino inside. Can't take a panoramic view, look at the sand table model:
Fountain special effects performance in Diamond Hall, once every hour and once every half hour. Few people went in the morning, and the tour group was full in the afternoon, but a voice was added: every time there was an unexpected effect, the audience would invariably say, "Wow!" 1.
After watching the show, I went to Broadway nearby, but the focus here is on watching the show, and the casino and lobby are not so gorgeous.
At noon, I walked from the Milky Way to the vicinity of Longhuan Puyun and Rua do Cunha, ate something and prepared to go to the airport.
The beef offal is tender and delicious, and the broccoli next to it is a single point, similar to mala Tang.
After lunch, there was still plenty of time, so I went straight to Wynn Palace by car. Then it suddenly occurred to me that since Wynn is only 2 kilometers away from the airport, it is better to walk! Maybe I won't have several chances to walk to the airport in my life, hahaha.
Seeing that the cable car didn't line up, I ran around and got on and off steadily. This is a casino operation.
I walked around, walked to the airport and passed by Macau University of Science and Technology.
Macau airport is very small, and the tourist information desk has tourist maps, small fresh cultural and creative maps and museum maps to choose from, with exquisite workmanship.
Finally, I changed the unused Macao dollars into RMB at the airport, ending the trip. I recorded some videos, but I haven't put them on yet. Come and update it later.
There are still several places I didn't make it this time: the restaurant of Macau Tourism College, the cable car of Erlong Throat Park, the Master Temple and Bishop Hill. I will make it up to them when I come again.
After a long delay, I finally wrote my first travel note. I will go to Chengdu and Chongqing in a few days, and I will start writing that evening. time
