Macau, also spelled Macao, is one of the special administrative regions of China. It lies at the estuary of the Pearl River of Canton Province, directly 70 kilometers west of Hong Kong. Covering an area of 23.5 square kilometers, it consists of Macau peninsula, Isle of Taiga and Isle of Coloane.

Macao is a hot tourist destination in China with many famous tourist attractions, namely :

This village, which comprises a bell tower, drum tower, carve marble altar in the Tian-Hou Palace or A Ma Temple, a dressing hall, museum and shops will attract many A-Ma devotees and interested tourists.

Although the Museum does not possess a collection of a high monetary value, it includes a vast number of objects of a great historical value.

The Ruins of St. Paul's (also known as Sam Ba Sing Tzik) stands adjacent to the famous Mount Fortress and Macau Museum. The front facade and the grand stone stairs are the only remains of the greatest church in Macau.

There you have it, the places are the major tourist spots you can visit in Macau, but I know there are some beautiful spots that only I will uncover.....

According to my research, Macau is economical, as Macau is a free port. Therefore, no sales tax is charged, but bargaining is common for many items. Usually, shopping at the designated shops can get a discount if we want to have our trip to Macau.

Like Hong Kong, Macau is famous for the shopping paradise. It's most popular buys are jewelry, Chinese antiques, porcelain, pottery, electric gadgetry, cameras, watches, beading work, and knitted wear. But jewelry is the first choice of the tourist.

That's why I'd better make my shopping budget into consideration in case of I cannot overcome my temptations....


Until, next ish! Where you can see me in flesh with Macau's beautiful spots in a background... Watch out for it!
