港澳 Fun 任我行 2

I choose a day and took a boat ride to Macau. It is a 1 hour ride from Hong Kong. I only have about half a day as I need to go back to Hong Kong to meet my friend at about 6pm, so I only went to three places.


1. 大三八牌坊
Ruins of St. Paul is the most iconic place in Macau. The ruin now consists of only the facade and is enlisted as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic Centre of Macau in 2005.


2. 大炮台
Fortaleza do Monte is the historical military centre of the former Portuguese colony of Macau near Ruins of St. Paul. On top of this fort, you get a panoramic view of the mainland area of Macau.


3. 漁人碼頭
Fisherman's Wharf is a theme park in Macau just besides the ferry terminal. It is rather big with 150 stores and restaurants in buildings built in the style of different world seaports such as Cape Town, Amsterdam and Venice, six rides, a slots hall, a 72-room hotel, and a casino and many more. It needs half a day to really explore everything.

Gasp. I went here! A few weeks ago. HK-Macau also. Cool. Haha. (I am Filipino. I'm guessing you're Singaporean.) :)

Now that I think about it. You shoulda gone to The Venetian Hotel. :)
