After my year-long stay in Europe, I headed to Hongkong to meet up with my parents. Part of our itinerary was to visit Macau, the Entertainment Capital of Asia. We only stayed in Macau for two days. Here are the highlights of our short trip:
Welcome to Macau: We were welcomed by the grand lobby of the Venetian Macao upon our arrival. The intricately designed ceiling of the hotel caught my eye instantly. After check-in, we immediately had dinner at the food court because we were all so famished.
The Venetian Macao: I snagged a sweet deal from agoda.com that's why we were able to stay at the 5-star Venetian Macao Hotel. The well-carpeted hallways reminded me so much of the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas--both equally classy. We were very pampered in our spacious 70 square meter Royal Suite with canopy-draped king-sized bed and fluffy duvet. This is definitely 1000x better than the cramped hostel rooms I stayed in Europe.
Take Me to Venice: After we freshen up, we leisurely strolled at The Grand Canal Shoppes, which is modeled after the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. Oh how I miss Europe!
A-Ma Temple and Ruins of the Church of St. Paul: The first two sights we visited that rainy day in Macau.
Fisherman's Wharf Convention and Exhibition Center: The 5,260 sq.m convention & exhibition centre is designed with an ancient civilization theme. There was hardly anybody in the venue. We left after we had lunch and took pictures.
Hotel Hopping: Mid-afternoon, we went hotel-hopping in Macau to escape from the scorching heat.
Ice World: This is one of the largest indoor ice exhibits ever created. The famous Harbin artisans personally carved the ice sculptures out from 9,000 ice blocks to create the perfect 1,700 square meter ice wonderland. The temperature was freezing but we enjoyed every moment we spent inside.
Bambu Asian Feast: On our last night in Macau, we had a sumptuous dinner buffet at Bambu. Perfect just perfect.
