In recent years, Macau hotels have become increasingly beautiful, with interior and exterior design becoming increasingly more impressive! Next time, the most attractive Macau hotels I'd like to stay at would definitely be the Grand Lisboa or The Londoner ✔️ Although we only had a three-day, two-night itinerary with an early morning departure and a late evening return, we didn't miss out on the all-you-can-eat lunch at The Grand Buffet at Grand Lisboa and the local snacks on Guanye Street. 😋 Booking in advance happened to coincide with a 18% discount for two people, making it cheaper than buying in person. We recommend booking buffets in advance using the app to get a discounted price! ️ We two foodies ate from 12:00 PM to around 3:00 PM and were incredibly satisfied 🤣 The most surprising thing was that after our meal, we went to the outdoor Grand Lisboa Gardens, the "Greenery Garden," to walk around and take photos. It was truly stunning. The garden is huge, and the theme this time was Alice. The playing card seats and standees were so cute and creative, perfect for photos. In the center, there's a giant dome and a fountain, creating a truly romantic garden atmosphere. The Baroque architecture made it feel like we were transported to Europe! My husband's birthday is in May, so we even made a homemade cake together 🩷 romantic💕 My husband, who loves seafood, of course devoured all sorts of seafood – it was well worth the price of admission 👍 📍Address: Rua do Shoten, Cotai, Macau 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: A true five-star resort. Besides the delicious food at The Grand Buffet, the lush gardens are incredibly photogenic, perfect for Instagram and Facebook posts. 💕And best of all, it's close to the airport, with a free shuttle bus for super convenient access. It's one of Macau's top choices for luxury accommodations, entertainment, shopping, and shopping! #GrandLisboaHotel #GrandLisboaBuffetHill #Macau #Macau #buffet #foodblogger #travel #travelholic #100WaysToTravel

#September Good Places 2025 In the Grand Canal Shopping Center of the Venetian Macau, Lord Stow’s Bakery brings the “freshly baked” sense of time to the counter: the outer layer of mille-feuille pastry clicks, the inner core is a slightly trembling milk and egg pudding, holding the box of goose yellow cardboard in hand, shopping seems to have more destination. Background Story and Development History | How a Portuguese egg tart became a business card for Macau’s taste In 1989, British baker Andrew Stow opened Lord Stow’s Bakery in Coloane. He tweaked the concept of Portuguese Pastéis de Nata into a version closer to Chinese tastes—crispier pastry, smoother milk and egg filling, and toasted caramel spots on the surface. From the Rowan main shop all the way to the peninsula, Cotai, there is the Venetian shop such as "travelers easiest to buy by the way" branch. This little dim sum was accidentally written into the city's love history: Andrew's early cooperation and separation allowed Macau to have another "Margaret"-based egg tart branch at the same time. Both factions have their supporters, but "eat freshly grilled and eaten hot" is the consensus of everyone. ⸻ Actual Interview Route | The 20 minutes I bought egg tarts at the Venetian 1. Find a shop: Follow the directions to the Grand Canal Shopping Center to the San Marco Square area, where you will see a small wall of goose yellow cardboard boxes stacked in the distance, a shelf oven behind glass. 2. Order: I usually directly say "six original flavors", plus one while walking to eat; if the day has custard, butterfly pastry to pick two pieces. 3. Time out of the oven: Whole point or half point is often the peak of a new plate; the shopkeeper will remind you to be careful of scalding. The entrance is most charming when the heat is 90 minutes. 4. Eat while walking: the first bite first listen to the sound - the pastry "click" of crispness, then the milk and caramel aroma spread upward; walk to the arcade to see the "sky canopy", feel like a tourist and like people in the album. ⸻ Palate notes • Original egg tart: surface burnt spots are evenly distributed, the center slightly shakes; the outer ring of mille-feuille is a dry flaky pastry, not oily soft type; the filling milk-egg ratio is not too sweet, most like pudding when warm. • Custard/Butterfly Pastry: The custard is layered, the crust is slightly crispy; • Packaging: Yellow box carton has ventilation holes, within 2–3 hours the flavor is still good; ⸻ 5 Q&As you may be curious about Q1. How long does it take to queue? 45-60 minutes is not unusual on weekends/even holidays;5–10 minutes during non-dining hours on weekdays. Q2.Can I bring it on board? Purchase on the day of departure is the safest; don't squeeze your handbag, go home and bake again. Q3.Are there any different flavors? The mainstay is original; the store occasionally sees other western pastries, but the egg tart is the main stage. Q4.When is the best time to buy? Whole point, half o'clock easily encountered out of the oven; before nine o'clock in the evening there will be a wave. Q5.Will it be too sweet? The sweetness of Andrew's is medium to low, with caramel aroma arriving first and sweetness collected cleanly. ⸻ Reason for recommendation 1. The sense of time of fresh baking: you can see the oven, hear the pastry peeling. 2. Super convenient location: In the Venetian shopping center, it is convenient to stroll, watch the show, and go back to the room. 3. Classic taste: crispy outside and smooth inside, burnt spots fragrant but not bitter, hot eat invincible. 4. Packaging is easy to carry: yellow box is highly recognizable, suitable for gift giving; there are 6/12 into the choice. 5. Friendly price: a single tens of MOP, stable CP value. 6. Rainy day preparation: all indoor shopping mall, bad weather can also be arranged. ⸻ Practical Information (Slack Guide) •Address: Golden Light Avenue Connecting Highway, Cotai, Macau | Venetian Macau Resort / Grand Canal Shopping Center (near St. Mark’s Square) • Transportation: Take the hotel’s free shuttle bus to the Venetian and walk for 3–8 minutes according to the mall guide directions. •Operation: Subject to mall;high frequency of roasting in the afternoon to evening. •Price: around MOP$13–15 per tablet;6-pack/12-pack boxed (subject to on-site marking). • Payments: Swipe/mobile payments and cash can be used in parallel; •Reserve fresh: 6–8 hours at room temperature, best eaten on the day;rebake please use oven or air fry. ⸻ Surroundings/Accommodation (Turn your sense of taste into an itinerary) • Venetian Canal & Artificial “Blue Sky”: Find a chair by the arcade with an egg tart and watch the boatman sing while you eat. • The Parisian/Cinema City Macau: Accessible by footbridge; • Accommodation: Staying in a Venetian or Parisian, returning to your room at night to bake is the highest perk for egg tart fans. ⸻ Review content (with address) • Store name: Lord Stow’s Bakery—The Venetian Macau •Address: Venetian Macao Grand Canal Shopping Centre, Golden Light Avenue Connecting Highway, Cotai, Macau (near St. Mark’s Square area) • Order: Original Egg Tart 6pcs + Crocus/Butterfly Pastry. • Comments: The outer layer is crisp, fragrant and not greasy; ⸻ Take photos (mobile phone can post videos)📸 1. 45° depression angle to shoot the "triangular composition" of three egg tarts, the most beautiful focal spots. 2. Natural light against the window makes the pudding layer shine; placemat or yellow box as the foreground. 3. Oven perspective: Put the oven plate and yellow box in the same frame, "just baked" story sense full. 4. Hold in hand: Focus up close to the pastry layer, revealing a little trademark as well. Real advice (pit avoidance/takeaway/baked back)💡 • Avoid pits: do not shoot for a long time in front of the counter during peak hours, buy first and shoot later; • Take-out back to hotel: Place the box on the upper level of your luggage to avoid squeezing and return to your room to warm up in the oven or air frying; • Weather: The pastry drops quickly when the humidity is high;1–2 pieces are recommended to be eaten within 30 minutes. • Sharing ratio: 6 pieces for 2 people is just right; 12 pieces for 4 people can eat "hot + re-roasted" two tastes. • Insurance stomach: If you are not sweet, taking black coffee/sugar-free tea will push the caramel aroma cleaner. • Children: Fresh from the oven very hot, please be careful of the filling; Andrew's Egg Tart Venetian | Venetian Macau | Grand Canal Shopping Centre | Parisian Macau | Studio City #MacauFood #AndrewEggTart #LordStows #Venetian #GrandCanalShoppingCenter #MacauDessert #MacauEats #EggTartConnoisseur #CotaiCity #MacauTravel 🥧🛶

Starting from Senado Square and following the crowd, stone steps unfold beneath your feet, and the sky resembles a sail opened by the sea breeze. As you look up, the solitary stone wall stands amidst the shadows of clouds and green trees—this is Macau's most iconic landmark: the Ruins of St. Paul's. Its presence is as striking as an open, thick book, with a cover scorched by fire, yet still compelling enough to make you want to read on. The Ruins of St. Paul's is actually part of the remains of the "Church of St. Paul." The original church, named "Mater Dei" (Mother of God), was part of the Jesuit architectural complex along with the adjacent St. Paul's College, built between 1602 and 1640. The college was established earlier, in 1594, by Jesuit missionary Alessandro Valignano. Together with the nearby Mount Fortress, the church and college formed the visual center of Macau's "citadel," witnessing the early spread of religion and knowledge in this port city. This architectural ensemble faced numerous challenges: it endured fires in the 17th century, with the most devastating being the fire during a typhoon night in 1835, which consumed the entire church, leaving only the façade and the long stone steps we see today. From the square below, there are 68 granite steps leading up; each step feels like walking through a history interrupted by flames. Up close, the façade stands 25.5 meters tall and about 23 meters wide, designed in a Baroque-Mannerist style and divided into five levels. The lower level is supported by columns and arches, the middle level features niches and statues of saints, and the upper levels gradually taper off. The stone surface is rich in details: the Jesuit emblem "IHS," Portuguese ships, chrysanthemums and lotuses, mythological and biblical scenes, and Chinese-style stone lions on both sides—Eastern and Western imagery intertwine on the same granite, resembling a 17th-century globalized puzzle. Many visitors look for a "unique sight" in the center of the third level: a relief of the Virgin Mary stepping on a seven-headed dragon (or "seven-headed serpent"), accompanied by Chinese inscriptions symbolizing "Our Lady trampling the dragon." This fusion of imagery from the Book of Revelation with Eastern cultural elements is said to be influenced by Japanese Christian craftsmen and local artisans involved in the carving, making the visual language of the Ruins of St. Paul's particularly inclusive. Broadening your perspective, the Ruins of St. Paul's is not an isolated attraction. It is part of the "Historic Center of Macau," which includes over twenty historical buildings and was collectively listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005. UNESCO's rationale is clear: this area fully demonstrates the long-term encounter, interaction, and coexistence of Chinese and Portuguese cultures. In other words, the Ruins of St. Paul's is not just a beautiful wall; it is a convergence point of city memory, trade routes, religion, science, and linguistic exchange. Behind the façade lies the "Museum of Sacred Art and Crypt," developed during restoration efforts in the 1990s. Archaeological and reinforcement work from 1990 to 1995 organized and displayed the underground foundations, crypt, and unearthed artifacts. In the cool crypt, you can see the religious orders and believers once sheltered by this church, making history tangible enough to converse with. For travelers who enjoy contrasts, don't miss the nearby Na Tcha Temple (built in 1888). On one side is the Portuguese church ruins, and on the other is a small Chinese temple, standing close together as if splitting "Macau" into two halves and reuniting them, telling two stories within the same line of sight. If you continue upward to Mount Fortress, overlooking the city rooftops and the sea, you'll better understand why religion, military, and trade were intertwined here. I particularly enjoy visiting in the early morning, when there are fewer tourists, allowing time to slowly study the carvings. The sea breeze pushes the clouds low, and light and shadow move across the stone surface like turning pages. Start from the lower level: the central arch is inscribed with "MATER DEI," flanked by the IHS emblem. Look up to see the figures of St. Ignatius and St. Francis Xavier, imagining their disciples crossing the seas to this city, learning Chinese, translating scriptures, and using this "visual catechism" to communicate with local communities. Then wander freely among the lions, chrysanthemums, and ships—you'll find that this wall is a microcosm of the Jesuits' missionary strategy: speaking in a language that can be understood. If you consider the Ruins of St. Paul's as a "stone book," it tells more than just religious stories. The college was one of East Asia's earliest Western-style higher education institutions, nurturing talents in fields ranging from linguistics to astronomy and geography. After the Jesuits were expelled by Portuguese authorities (1762), the college closed, and the fire reduced the building to the "pages" of the façade. Fortunately, the protection of world heritage and the city's awareness have kept this page from being closed. Practical tips: For photography, choose early morning or dusk, when the backlighting makes the stone carvings more three-dimensional. Don't just take photos from the front; move to the grassy slope on the left or the alley on the right for a more beautiful perspective of the façade. After viewing, you can visit Love Lane and Lou Kau Mansion before returning to Senado Square. To extend the historical narrative, include Mount Fortress and the museum in your itinerary to form a clearer outline of the "citadel" in your mind. If traveling with elders, the steps are not steep but still recommend resting a few times at the bottom before ascending; on rainy days, the steps can be slippery, so wear shoes with non-slip soles. As you leave and look back, the façade alternates between light and shadow behind the clouds. I often think of replacing the name "Ruins of St. Paul's" with a more humanized term: it is a gate that accommodates differences, allowing the distant to come in and the local to go out. Perhaps this is the true reason it has become a symbol of Macau—not just because it is beautiful, but because it reminds us that this city was born from encounters.

#September Good Places 2025 Macau, a city where China and the West meet, is famous for its bustling entertainment architecture in addition to its thick historical monuments. On the Golden Avenue in Cotai, **The Parisian Macao** stands in the sky with a replica of the Eiffel Tower, injecting romance and splendor into the land and becoming a landmark in the eyes of travelers. Stunning under the Eiffel Tower When new to Paris, the most eye-catching thing is the proportionally reduced Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower is spectacular during the day through the blue sky and white clouds, and after nightfall, it lights up the night sky with brilliant lights, complementing the surrounding Venetian and New Casino. Standing under the tower and looking up, you feel like you are in the streets of Paris across time and space in an instant. Visitors can climb the tower and overlook the bustling Golden Avenue and the sea view of the road. A reproduction of French style Walk into the lobby of the Parisian Hotel and you will be greeted by a dome and sculpture inspired by the Palace of Versailles. The splendid chandeliers, painted ceilings, and arcade shops create the splendor of a French court. The shopping avenue, which mimics the layout of the Champs-Élysées in Paris, is lined with boutiques and cafes, allowing people to immerse themselves in a European style while strolling. Here, you can not only enjoy the pleasure of shopping and entertainment, but also experience an imagination of "Paris of the East" through the architecture and atmosphere. The intertwining of entertainment and leisure As an integrated resort, Parisian Macao not only offers casino entertainment, but also a large theater, theme park and water world. During the day you can feel relaxed by the pool, while at night you can enjoy performances or participate in entertainment activities. This place satisfies the curiosity of tourists and brings a variety of experiences for family travel. Conclusion Parisian Macau, is a romantic fantasy. It is not the real Paris, but it creates the possibility of another kind of time and space through imitation and reproduction. When I gazed at the shining Eiffel Tower in the night, what loomed in my mind was not the distance between Paris and Macau, but the fantastic atmosphere where the two cities met here. Parisians embellish the bustling with romance, adding to the exotic atmosphere of Macau, the "Las Vegas of the East". It reminds travelers: Travel is not only about arriving in a distant place, but also about experiencing a different kind of landscape in imitation and fantasy.

#September2025 If the Ruins of St. Paul's is the symbol of Macau, then the Macao Museum (Museu de Macau), nestled atop the Mount Fortress, is a window into the city's soul. More than a mere display of artifacts, it weaves over 400 years of Macau's history, culture, and life into a vivid tapestry through images, artifacts, and space. Amidst the Ancient Fortress, the Beginning of the Museum The Macao Museum is built atop the Mount Fortress. Originally a 17th-century military fortress, the Fortress served to protect St. Paul's Church and the entire city of Macau. Walking along the stone paths, ancient cannons still stand, and from the ramparts, one can gaze upon the dazzling golden lights of the Grand Lisboa Hotel. The interweaving of past and present echoes the museum's spirit: the coexistence of history and modernity. Exhibition Hall Tour: A Symphony of Eastern and Western Cultures The exhibition is divided into three sections: • The first section showcases Macau's early history. From fishing village utensils to scenes of initial interaction between China and Portugal, it illustrates the city's rise from a small port to the global stage. • The second section showcases the interplay of Chinese and Western cultures. From Portuguese blue-flowered porcelain fragments to Chinese ritual vessels and church icons, all demonstrate Macau's uniqueness as a cultural crossroads. • The third section focuses on modern society. Newspapers, vintage photographs, the evolution of the entertainment industry, and even the legacy of handicrafts all offer a glimpse into a truly multifaceted Macau. Here, history isn't an abstract era but a tangible memory: a wood carving, a barcarolle, an old map, all transport visitors back in time. Quiet Contemplation and Reflection Compared to the bustling Ruins of St. Paul's, the Macau Museum is remarkably tranquil. Wandering through the exhibition halls feels like conversing with an elderly man, listening to his stories. As we ascend to the rooftop garden, gazing out over the panoramic view of Macau, a profound feeling arises: the city's prosperity and contradictions, its East and West, are all reflected in the landscape before us and the land beneath our feet. Conclusion The Macau Museum is more than just a place for cultural preservation; it serves as a mirror, reflecting Macau's diverse identities and historical memories. When I left, the setting sun was shining on the walls of Macau Fortress, and the golden light and the ancient bricks reflected each other. At that moment, I knew that if I wanted to truly understand Macau, I couldn’t just look at the neon lights and prosperity, but I also needed to walk into this museum and have a dialogue with Macau deep in time.

Macau, a city where Eastern and Western cultures intertwine, is renowned for its dazzling casino lights and ancient cobblestone streets. Yet, beyond the bustling glamour, the **Ruins of St. Paul’s** remain a must-visit landmark for travelers. It is not only a symbol of Macau but also a historical imprint left by the collision of Eastern and Western civilizations. Stone Steps and Majestic Facade As you ascend through narrow alleys, your gaze is gradually drawn to the towering stone wall. Built in the 1620s, the St. Paul’s Church was once grand and imposing but was destroyed by a fire in 1835, leaving only its front facade and some stone steps. The facade is divided into five levels, intricately carved: the Virgin Mary and Child above, grapevines, lotus flowers, and flying dragons below—images blending Eastern and Western elements. Each detail carries profound meaning, symbolizing Catholic faith while incorporating Eastern cultural motifs. Standing on the steps and looking up, one can almost feel the grandeur and poignancy of history. A Testament to East-West Interactions The Ruins of St. Paul’s are not merely remnants of a religious building but a "stone-carved history book." They bear witness to the interactions between Portuguese colonizers and Chinese society in the 17th century, reflecting Macau’s unique role as a "bridge of Eastern and Western cultures." In the reliefs, Western saints coexist with Eastern mythical creatures, symbolizing cultural intersection and fusion. This visual language makes the Ruins of St. Paul’s a representation of coexistence between civilizations, rather than merely a colonial relic. Crowds and Contemplation Today, the Ruins of St. Paul’s are bustling with visitors. During the day, the steps are filled with tourists taking photos; at night, under the illumination, the stone wall appears even more solemn. However, visiting in the early morning or late at night, when the steps return to tranquility and the breeze brushes through the stone crevices, the silence of history emerges. At that moment, standing before the Ruins of St. Paul’s is not just about viewing a relic but engaging in a dialogue with four centuries of time. Conclusion The Ruins of St. Paul’s are not only a tourist icon of Macau but also a parable of civilization. With its weathered walls, it reminds us of the fleeting nature of glory while proving that cultural exchange can leave an eternal mark. As I descended the stone steps and turned back to gaze at the weathered stone wall, I felt not only the sentiment of the journey but also a deep reverence for history. The Ruins of St. Paul’s are not just a landmark of Macau but an everlasting symphony of Eastern and Western civilizations.

#September2025 Macau, often known as the "Las Vegas of the East," often draws visitors with its dazzling casino lights. However, Fisherman's Wharf, located in the newly reclaimed Outer Harbor area, adds a distinct dimension to the city. It's a leisure and entertainment complex, and its rich, exotic architectural style creates a dreamlike travel experience. European Charm and Classical Imagination Entering Fisherman's Wharf is like stepping into a miniature European world. The ancient Roman Colosseum looms before you, its mottled stone walls and arches transporting you back thousands of years to the classical era. On the other side, the Venetian canals and Southern European architecture, set against a blue sky and white clouds, create the illusion of being transported to the Mediterranean coast. This isn't just a replica of architecture; it's a collage of cultures. From ancient Egyptian columns to medieval European streets, Fisherman's Wharf's dramatic spatial layout cleverly interweaves history and fantasy. A Fusion of Entertainment and Recreation Fisherman's Wharf is more than just an architectural showcase; it's a leisure park integrating entertainment, shopping, and dining. Stroll through the antique-style streets and explore the exotic cuisine of cafés and specialty restaurants. At night, the illuminated Roman Colosseum and the waterfront create a vibrant atmosphere of romance. For panoramic sea views, the wooden promenade overlooking the water is the perfect spot. When the crowds are sparse, the only sounds are the crashing of waves and the rustling of footsteps, offering a moment of tranquility amidst the bustling city of Macau. A Blend of History and Modernity Since its opening in 2006, Fisherman's Wharf has undergone a period of decline and subsequent renovations. While it lacks the rich history of the Ruins of St. Paul's or the excitement of a casino, it reflects Macau's unique identity as a crossroads of Eastern and Western cultures through a playful, exotic imagination. For travelers, this is a perfect photo spot; for the city, Fisherman's Wharf symbolizes a modern cultural landscape—neither a purely historical heritage nor a single commercial building, but rather a spatial experiment within the context of a "tourist city." Conclusion As I left Fisherman's Wharf, I looked back at the amphitheater, which seemed to have been transplanted from ancient Rome, and a sense of detachment struck me: this city always manages to construct illusions between reality and imagination. Macau Fisherman's Wharf is not only a place for sightseeing and leisure, but also a microcosm of how modern cities interpret history and collage culture.
