Macau is small, but it's rich in cultural and sightseeing spots, such as world heritage sites, historical buildings, museums, churches, temples, parks, and more. Details of the attractions can be found on the mini-program of the , which is very convenient👏 After organizing the places I want to visit, I found that 90% of them are on the Macau Peninsula. Staying here would offer a great experience. The Sofitel at Ponte 16, located on the banks of the Pearl River, is also one of the nearby high-rise buildings. From the windows of the rooms, you can see the entire Macau Peninsula, and all the stories of Macau are within sight📷 🤓Fugu Bao says, 'The buildings here grow so densely, but the deliciousness is in these 2-meter-wide alleys!' When did you start to understand this... Every year, the eighth day of the fourth lunar month is Macau's Intangible Cultural Heritage Festival , the Drunken Dragon Festival. I wasn't sure if it would be held before coming, so I took my chances. Fortunately, the weather was nice, and I saw the entire event at the Largo do Senado. There were special instruments and a drunken sacrificial dance, different from the traditional dragon dance. Macau's 'Drunken Dragon' only has the dragon head and tail, with the dancers staggering as if drunk, while others accompany them and pour drinks along the way. It looks very interesting. Participants of all ages were involved, and I didn't expect the youth of Macau to be interested in intangible cultural heritage. Largo do Senado is a very central location in the old town, and it's also where many of Macau's must-visit attractions are densely located, such as the Ruins of St. Paul's, the Church of St. Dominic, the Monte Fort, the Macau Museum... And for Fugu Bao, the tech-savvy content is also attractive. The Macau Science Center is a must-visit, and if you're interested in racing, the Grand Prix Museum is also a great place. In June, the midday temperature in Macau is already quite hot, and there's nothing more relaxing than soaking in the hotel pool , having afternoon tea under the shade of trees, playing in the water, and watching the sunset over Macau Island. The hotel's restaurants are also very good, where you can taste romantic French cuisine at Prive or authentic Cantonese dishes at the Chinese restaurant, which is also popular with local residents for dim sum at noon .

Macau is a place you can visit many, many times, but the most common way to play is two days and one night. So, for the first time going to Macau, how should you spend these two days and one night~ D1: Cross the border at Gongbei Port, take the free 'fortune bus' to Grand Lisboa Hotel, then walk to Senado Square, Ruins of St. Paul's, and along the way visit Rua da Felicidade, Rose Church, Monte Forte Park, Love Lane, etc.; in the afternoon, visit Fisherman's Wharf, Wynn Macau, and see the Fortune Tree🌳 D2: On Taipa Island--visit the Taipa Houses-Museum, Venetian Macao, Parisian Macao, etc., and experience the glitz and glamour of Macau. 🔸Buy a Macau mobile data package in advance, or purchase a Macau data card after arriving at the Macau border. 🔸Exchange Macau currency in advance, Hong Kong dollars can also be used directly, but the value is a bit more expensive than Macau currency, not very cost-effective, but the difference is not much so don't worry too much, WeChat and Alipay can also be used, but not everywhere 🔸Make sure to make good use of the free 'fortune buses', if you have to take the bus it's 6 Macau patacas, so always have change ready. 🍽Macau Cuisine: With only two days and one night in Macau, time is tight and the mission is heavy, so pick the important ones to taste~ 🔸Tai Lei Loi Kei Pork Chop Bun It has a bit of a Chinese hamburger feel, with a pork chop sandwiched between two slices of bread, remember to order a drink separately, otherwise, it might be a bit choking. 🔸Margaret's Cafe e Nata The tart crust is thin and flaky, with a rich buttery aroma and silky milk flavor, overall a slightly sweet taste, smooth and delicate. 🔸Lai Kei Ice Cream A homemade ice cream brand with over 80 years of history in Macau, really brings out a nostalgic feeling.
