In Macau, you can experience a beautiful blend of Chinese and Western culture. Its churches, streets and casinos are all interesting to explore. The food culture will add a little more magic to your experience in the country. Here are some activities you can try out when you are there.
Macau- the Las Vegas of the East has plenty of casinos, and they are quite famous as perfect gambling spots. Those who spend their holidays visit these casinos at least to see these luxury looking buildings and click some pictures standing in front of them. There are casinos at some of the Macau hotels 5-star, and even if gambling is not your thing, you can do some shopping or watch a great entertainment show.
This architectural complex is one of the oldest and the largest in the world, but it's been well-preserved indeed. You find the A-Ma Temple, the Ruins of St. Paul's, Monte Forte, and Senado Square located very close to each other here. If you are someone spending your vacation at a property the likes of Hotel Okura Macau with your kids, take them to the Historic Centre of Macau since there's a lot about history and culture to be explored.
Will you believe that this small island of Macau has more than 20 museums dedicated to arts, culture, religion, and many other aspects? These museums help its visitors to understand the significance of Macau from different angles, and if you wish to have more knowledge about everything, you can also get a guided tour arranged. The Macau Museum, the Maritime Museum, Macau Wine Museum, and the Grand Prix Museum are some of the best and the most visited ones by travellers.
Cuisine you get to enjoy in Macau is a blend of Chinese and Portuguese food cultures, and this is another interesting aspect to explore when you are in Macau. You will surely fall in love with the baked stuff they have at their restaurants such as cakes, bread, and tarts. Popular places such as Gelatina Mok Yi Kei have some rare and unique food innovations such as duriyan flavoured ice cream and sawdust pudding, which you can't miss during your visit to Macau.
Have you heard of the Black San Beach by any chance? It's located on the south of Coloane, and just as the name suggests, it has smooth black sand. If you want to swim, you can do it here, and if you have a gang with you, you may also have a barbeque session in the evening. This beach is very calm, and you can also go to the Hac Sa Beach in the night just to have some time in peace watching the shining stars in the sky. However, the Macau government has recently filled the beach with some yellow sand to prevent eroding, but its uniqueness is still there to be seen and enjoyed.
