Historic Centre of Macau

Reviewed By Connector820047 - New York City, United States

Amazing how the Portuguese and Chinese cultures blended so well. The Portuguese did an amazing job in keeping their identity and respecting the Chinese culture at the same time. Great authentic Portuguese architecture and restaurants, on the other side of the world. Forget the casinos and enjoy a nice walk in the historical center of Macau.

All across the world, many significant places lay all across all continents, and in Macau, there lays the best place in the world of entertainment, dining, and working pleasures. I went to the City Of Dreams, which includes the Vr, which is a place of entertainment with the pleasure of car driving games, virtual roller coasters, and thrilling yet scary drives through a glacial arctic forest. If you wanted to eat something delicious, there has a cafe where you can enjoy called Pearl Dragon, Chinese traditional foods are to eat and desserts of the finest material is made there, too. I recommend you to there, for it had such significant memories.

Enjoyable ride with interesting views of the hotel and surroundings - it would be spectacular at night. Just remember to hold on to something (someone) when the cable car is going round the corners!

A-Ma Temple (Ma Kok Miu)

Reviewed By santhoshi2018 - Kochi (Cochin), India

A-Ma Temple, dedicated to the Chinese sea goddess Mazu located in Sao Lourenco in the Barra Hill. The name “Macao” is believed to derive from the Chinese “A-Ma-Gau” meaning “Bay of A-Ma”, on which A-Ma Temple is located. It consists of the Gate Pavilion, the Memorial Arch, the Prayer Hall, the Hall of Benevolence, the Hall of Guanyin, and Zhengjiao Chanlin (a Buddhist pavilion),each forming a small part of the well-ordered complex which sits in perfect harmony with the natural environment. The variety of pavilions dedicated to the worship of different deities in a single complex make A-Ma Temple an exemplary representation of Chinese culture inspired by Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and multiple folk beliefs.

One of the iconic landmark in Macau with great history. It's highly suggested to walk from the Senado Square via Macau museum where you get the best view / photo of Macau city and Ruins of St Paul's. The museum underneath the Ruin is worth to visit too.

Macau Giant Panda Pavilion

Reviewed By anthonyS8454CP - London, United Kingdom

If you love nature and want to learn more about animals, then visit the Macau Zoo. It is located in the Seac Pai Van Park, where you will find a lot of greenery, picnic areas, and playgrounds. After having a morning picnic, I wandered around the park. It is designed as a giant fan occupying 3,000 m2 and its goal is to coexist with the nature surrounding it. Part of the Macau Zoo is the Giant Panda Pavilion, famous for being the home of giant pandas and red pandas – a species I didn’t know! The pavilion is surrounded by a 600 m2 yard, has 900 m2 of indoor exhibition rooms, and 2 parts of 33m2 for activities, all creating spectacular images never to be forgotten!
