Macau stands out as one of the most distinctive places I've had the pleasure of exploring. It's fascinating to think that Portugal maintained a colony in China for nearly half a millennium. The preservation of colonial architecture in Macau adds to its authenticity, offering a genuine glimpse into what life may have been like in previous centuries.

The most straightforward method to travel to Macau is via the TurboJET ferry from Hong Kong, costing only $171 HKD (approximately $22 USD) for a one-way ticket. Remember to carry your passport, as you'll need to pass through immigration. Upon arriving in Macau, you can catch a taxi to your hotel or Airbnb (enjoy $47 USD off), but be aware that many taxis in Macau lack seat belts.

Macau is an exceptional destination for capturing unique selfies, with my top spot being the enchanting view from R. Nova a Guia street. Finding this hidden gem took me nearly an hour, but it was worth it for that magical photo opportunity. It's where the modern meets the ancient, reminiscent of a futuristic spaceship landing in a quaint Portuguese village.

The culinary scene in Macau is a delightful blend of Chinese and Portuguese influences, creating the distinctive Macanese cuisine. Signature dishes include African chicken, pork chop buns, pork jerky, and the famous Portuguese egg tarts (Pastel de Nata), alongside a variety of desserts such as durian ice cream and steamed milk pudding from Yee Shun Milk.

While Macau's nightlife scene may be modest, it boasts several excellent spots for an evening out. I highly recommend starting at SKY 21, a stunning rooftop lounge atop the AIA tower with views of the Grand Lisboa and Macau Tower. With a live DJ, ping-pong, and shisha available until 4 am, it promises a memorable night.

The highlight of my Macau adventure was the Macau Bungee, the world's highest urban bungee jump at 233 meters (764 feet), offering a breathtaking 6 or 7-second free fall at speeds of 120km/h. Although the experience comes with a steep price tag of around $400 USD, it's an absolute must for thrill-seekers, along with the Sky Jump, Sky Walk, and Tower Climb.

You can take the casino shuttles to travel between spots in Macau also. And check out pandas at zoo also.

[ucsbchui]

I’m from Macau.. but I haven’t visit or eat a lot of the places you went to, simply because I find everything in Macau expensive. Hey you’re a tourist you gotta spend the money. For a low budget self produced show, this is really good quality.. I enjoyed it. You must Gained like 2 kg after you left Macau. You must be from Germany or Holland ;)

I’m not sure if this is your goal. You can be the next Anthony bourdain :)
