#tripblazers#yearofrabbit #celebratewithtrip #newyearadventure #campingglamping Areia Preta Urban Park is a hard to come by restful space with masses of greenery within the area. The precinct is a long stretch of "V" shape land divided into three sections by the different pathways. There is a pedestrian flyover at the northeastern tip to reach the waterfront leisure zone along Avenida da Amizade and another tip is directly linked to Avenida 1o de Maio. The Park was built on reclaimed land and opened to public in 2003.

BBQ at Portas Do Cerco

What a way to enjoy your holiday is to have some bbq with friends. Glad that finally due to relaxation of Macau rules regarding Covid we can now enjoy with friends over a bbq at one of the best BBQ place in Macau the Portas do Cerco park or also known as boarder gate. Finally after 3 years Macau is now open again for tourists, no more restrictions with who can enter the territory :) people who like to enter will just show a rapid antigen test result within 48 hours or NAT. We are all back to normal. That’s why to celebrate the new rules we decided to have some bbq and just a little fun with my workmates. Indeed it was fun and our tummies got full. Can’t wait to have another bbq session with my friends. #2023travelwish #mytripvlog #tripblazers

Border Gate ( Portas ), Macau

#tripblazers #bucketlistreboot #mytripvlog #campingglamping #summervacation Macau, now a special administrative region of China, still has an official border with Zhuhai in mainland China a few meters behind the old barrier gate. The new Posto Fronteiriço das Portas do Cerco (border gate border building) was opened on 15 January 2004. The first formalised border crossing was built in 1573, which was subsequently repaired and rebuilt several times until the present border gate was erected in 1870.[6] It was the site of the Battle of the Barrier between British and Chinese forces on 19 August 1840.

Macau Day Trip Guide, no turning back

Macau, a small city, if you're short on time, choosing a day trip is also a good option. If you don't want to take the same path back, then you can get this route. Enter from Gongbei and exit through Hengqin, and that's it. In the morning, enter from Gongbei border, make sure to avoid the peak period before 9:30 am, so it won't be crowded, and the customs clearance will be more convenient. After entering, you can take the free 'fortune bus' to Grand Lisboa, where it's great for taking photos. Then walk to the Ruins of St. Paul's, one of Macau's iconic buildings. After taking photos and checking in, you can go to the nearby Love Lane and Macau Museum for a visit. At noon, taste Macau's special cuisine at a restaurant near Grand Lisboa, authentic Portuguese egg tarts, beef brisket rice, pork chop buns, lemon tea, etc., all worth checking out, and the prices are not too expensive. In the afternoon, walk to the Macau Tower to enjoy the night view of Macau. You can choose to dine at the restaurant on the Macau Tower or take a walk in the square below. Then take a bus to The Venetian Macao Resort Hotel, where there are luxurious facilities like an artificial Venetian canal, the world's largest crystal chandelier, and the largest indoor public art installation. In the evening, head to Coloane, where one of Macau's oldest markets, the Coloane Market, is located. You can buy various specialty goods, souvenirs, handicrafts, etc., and of course, some local special cuisine. Finally, exit through Hengqin, casually find a five-star hotel in Taipa, take the free 'fortune bus' to the border gate, and the Macau day trip is over.

Walking in Macau for 9 hours, I'll tell you all the pitfalls and thunder points

【First Chatter】 I went to Macau for a day, and many friends asked me about my feelings: The most impressive feeling that day was the crowding and loneliness. The crowding is a description of the city, feeling that there are 10 people standing in one square meter; loneliness is because there are multiple languages being spoken around you, but none of them you understand, in Macau I felt like I was alone. 【On the Road: Customs Return】 🛻 Customs & Return Enter from Zhuhai Gongbei Port (6 am-1 am), follow the instructions all the way, now you don't need to declare your health status, report separately if there are exceptions. The whole process is to swipe the pass, fingerprint, exit the customs and get the voucher, fingerprint, fast customs clearance. ❗️Lesson from the past: If you have Hong Kong and Macau endorsement information, you can handle the new endorsement by yourself at the endorsement machine, it takes 1 minute. If you have never had any Hong Kong and Macau endorsements (a white card), you must follow the time for handling a new card. ❗️Return: Gongbei Port is called Guanzha in Macau, don't search for the wrong destination when you search. ❗️Shopping, generally you will not be stopped when you return unless you have a lot of things. 【On the Road-Macau Crazy Walk for 9 Hours】 Gongbei Exit-(Take the New Lisboa Fortune Car)-New Lisboa-(Walk)-Legislative Council-(Walk)-Ruins of St. Paul-(Walk)-Fort/Macau Museum-(Walk)-Crazy Church Slope-(Walk)-Dongwangyang New Street-(Walk)-Old Lisboa-(Bus 6 Yuan)-Londoner-(Walk)-Venetian-(Bus/Taxi/Fortune Car)-Old Lisboa-(Bus/Taxi/Fortune Car)-Guanzha 10:00-19:00, 9 hours, the output limit If it weren't for the Venetian who kept walking and felt there was no end, I should be able to visit more places 【Food & Souvenirs】 Macau is expensive, so I didn't eat anything particularly good, but there are some small shops I recommend to everyone (I've eaten) 1⃣️ Jinmei Food 2⃣️ Jinli Food Shop 3⃣️ Paramount 4⃣️ Xingxiangyuan Souvenirs, the most common and most chosen is "Juji Souvenir", and I chose to buy "Andrew Egg Tart" for egg tarts. 【Extra Attention】 1, Expenses: Most shops can Alipay & WeChat, real-time exchange rate, cash can be exchanged for 1000 Macau dollars, Hong Kong dollars can also be, but the exchange rate is different. 2, SIM card: You can buy it at customs or in advance, turn on the phone after customs, and you can receive the Macau signal. 3, Macau taxi: Taxi stand queue or hail (but I didn't see anyone hailing, almost all were queuing) or Macau call app, taxi is a bit expensive, traffic is not easy to move, often over a hundred, and only cash is accepted. 4, Bus: All 6 yuan, prepare the money in advance, no change
