Macau
10:00 PM
It's my 2nd day in Hong Kong and our destination would be Macau.
Macau is one of the regions of the People's Republic of China. It's colonized by the Portuguese.
We woke up early and went directly to the Star Ferry Pier.
The Star Ferry Pier is located in Central Hong Kong.
When we arrived there, we bought our ticket. We chose the Macau Dragon Company Limited ferry since they have tickets at the earliest available time. The ticket going to Macau costs $133.00 and that is just for a one-way trip.
When the ferry arrived, we then boarded in the ferry. They have a very spacious ferry and a very comfortable one. Since it would be a one hour travel, we relaxed and slept.
When we arrived in Macau, we have seen one of the famous hotels there, Sands.
Upon arrival, we looked around for a map. Good thing they have an information center where you could get an English version of the Map. When you look at the map, Macau is just a very small place. You can travel to it in one day.
There are a lot of ways that you can roam around Macau, one of it is through a rickshaw, a bus or through a taxi. Since we weren't able to research much on the place, we took a bus and paid for the fare. There are actually buses that are for free which would take you to different hotels and could just stop over on the different tourist spots.
When we took the bus, we were not sure where it would take us. Good thing when we came arrived in the first stop, there is a tourist spot.
First stop is the A-ma Temple. It is one of the oldest and famous Taoist temple in Macau.
The second stop is the Ruins of St. Paul. This is at the back of the ruins.
The St. Paul Cathedral was the largest Catholic church in Asia. It was destroyed by a fire during a typhoon.
This is just the remains of the cathedral. It is now one of the famous spots in Macau.
Macau is just a small island but I had to take a look at the places that we need to go to. Good thing that there is a map for the area that we are in.
There are a lot of free taste in Macau. One of the free taste is the dried meat.
I also purchased this egg tart in Macau since one of the one endorsing it is from the koreanovela 'Boys over Flowers' which is famous in the Philippines at that time.
We then roamed around the Senado Square and was able to see the St. Dominic Church.
You could also see the Santa Casa da Misericórdia.
This is the Senado Square with a lot of people.
While we were travelling to go to the Venetian hotel, we passed by the Macau tower. You can do bungee jumping on this tower.
When we reached our destination, I was so amazed because there were lots of hotels in the area.
After taking pictures on the different hotels in the area, we went inside the Venetian hotel.
There is another part in the Venetian hotel which has a man made river canal.
You can ride the gondola for a fee and there would be a boatman that would sing during the trip.
After visiting the Venetian, we then headed back to the port to go back to Hong Kong.
