Visit Macau during Your Holiday -"Vegas of China"

As a popular day trip option for vacationers in Hong Kong, travelling to Macau is a must for visitors exploring the tourist hotspots in and around Hong Kong Island.

1. Transport Options
   Those who are hoping to travel from the Hong Kong mainland to Macau must first sort out the means by which they will reach the casino hotspot. The main mode of transport is of course by ferry and there are several options at one's disposal. The China Ferry Terminal at Tsim Sha Tsui is one of the popular options available to visitors as the terminal is located 1km from the Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry. Travellers can reach the terminal by hopping a taxi to 33, Canton Road or by walking across the Harbour City Mall. The Sky Pier is an option available to visitors who are in transit at the Hong Kong International Airport who wish to bypass the mainland and head straight to Macau while the Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal located at the Shun Tak Center close to the IFC Towers is another ferry terminal that carries passengers to Macau. For return trips, visitors should make bookings at the Cotai Terminal or the Macau Maritime Ferry Terminal.

2. Make Reservations
   As in any holiday planning endeavour, learning about Macau and its travel possibilities can help visitors not only get started on the right footing but also give them a sense of the destination they are visiting and make decisions down the line that are much more effortless. Located a mere hour away from the main Hong Kong island, Macau is often called the Monte Carlo of Asia due to a large number of integrated casinos that dot its landscape. A charming playground for adults and an entertainment powerhouse, Macau is Hong Kong's recreational hotspot. Note that you will require your passport to cross over to Macau from Hong Kong so having your travel documents on hand is crucial.

Hop to the globe's ten most expansive casinos and integrated resorts; the choices are endless. Note that gambling and placing high stake bets are not all that's on offer at Macau's prestigious casinos.
