The Beauty of Macau


Pinoy in Macau




If your planning to visit Macau.
Then you better go via Hongkong so at least you can visit two country at the same time. and basically Airfare from Manila to Hong Kong is quite cheaper compare to airfare from Manila direct to Macau so thats what we did.
China Ferry Terminal is in Tsim Sha Tsui. Price: 132 to 172 HKD (single trip, economy class). It is about a kilometer north of the Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry. You could walk to it through Harbour City Mall, or just take a taxi to 33 Canton Road.
Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal is near the IFC Towers in the Shun Tak Center on Hong Kong Island. Price: 132 to 172 HKD (single trip, economy class). It is near the Star Ferry, the IFC Mall, and the Sheung Wan MTR station.
Sky Pier at the Hong Kong International Airport is for transiting tourists only. Price:159 to 172 HKD during the day.
Macau Terminals

Macau Maritime Ferry Terminal is the main northern terminal closest to San Ma Lo, architectural attractions, and about 23 mainly smaller casinos. You can take Bus 3 from San Ma Lo to the Macau Ferry Terminal in about 10 minutes for 2.5 HKD.
Cotai Terminal is to the south, closest to the Cotai Strip area with the biggest casinos such as the Venetian, the City of Dreams across the street, and the Macau International Airport. To go to Cotai Terminal, take the Cotai Jet from any of the three Hong Kong terminals. There are late night returns (after 12 midnight) from the Cotai Terminal to the Hong Kong Macau Terminal.
Reminder: With about 245 seats, it takes about one hour by TurboJET to Macau. Its’ speed at 35-50 knots, If you are easy to get seasick, please take some medicine or use seasick band.
Macau Local Transportation
Getting around in Macau is easy.Free casino buses line up at both terminals, and pretty
women representing their hotels and casinos stand and hand out coupons and information. Just get on the bus yo u want for free.
Casinos

You can easily get lost in the biggest casinos eating, shopping, and seeing the shows. You could spend the whole day in just one casino, but why not see old Macau before you go back? You might find the casinos overwhelming and want a break.
The Historic Attractions
To get a quick view of the best sites, Monte Fortress and San Ma Lo are the best places to go.
Monte Fortress was built in 1627. The fortress and the Macau Museum in it is probably the best place to go to learn about Macau’s history and culture. Museum tickets cost 15 HKD. While there, you might also want to see the ruins of St. Paul’s Cathedral close by.
San Ma Lo: You can take a short free bus ride from the biggest casinos and hotels, such as the Venetian and go to this historic square. They leave about every 15 minutes.
Until 1999 Macau was a Portuguese colony. San Ma Lo is the old Portuguese square. Old pastel colored buildings line the sides, and a church is at the back. It and about 20 other old buildings and forts are listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites.If you enjoy Chinese herbs, there are good traditional herb shops around it such as on Da Jie street.
So Enjoy your stay in macau.
We are only there for few days then back to Hongkong on our onward journey back to manila but macau is quite small island so your few days is enough to see most of the sight.
