Who knew a Macau day trip could be this smooth!

Walked 20,000 steps without soreness ▪️ CMLink mobile data card for seamless navigation and video streaming 🗺️ 360° Adventure (With Hidden Gems) ❶ Cross Gongbei border before 9 AM, take a bus straight to Ruins of St. Paul's Snack on almond cookies and jerky along the street until full, then climb Mount Fortress for a panoramic view of the old city ❷ Snap a few pics at Lover's Lane, then head to Uniqlo next door for a surprise A shirt priced at 199 RMB on the mainland costs 199 MOP here—grab it without hesitation ❸ Walk to Grand Lisboa and enjoy a bowl of wonton noodles on the way Even if you don't gamble, the lobby is worth a visit, and the vintage vibe at Casino Lisboa's entrance is perfect for photos ❹ Catch the Prosperity Tree show at Wynn Macau (open during Labor Day—super friendly!) The milk tea and dim sum at MGM Macau next door are legendary—must-try ❺ Take the free shuttle to MGM Cotai Immerse yourself in the crystal lobby—even the handsome doorman got compliments from aunties in our group ❻ Pair the Wynn Palace cable car with the musical fountain Ride at dusk to see the sunset glow on the fountain ❼ Stroll through The Londoner → The Parisian → The Venetian The hotel complex is stunning from every angle—every shot is wallpaper-worthy ❽ Take the free shuttle back from The Venetian before dark Only 5 minutes in line to board, ending the trip perfectly We tried snacks at 4 places and drank 2 cups of milk tea—even my parents didn’t complain about being tired!
