from international airport to Barra station take bus60 to get to macau tower going back to train station Bus 18B
Based on the principle of coming up and taking a look when you are here, you can see the panoramic view of Macau. The online tickets are quite cost-effective, and there are also cultural and creative popsicles. Offline, one popsicle is only 48 Portuguese patacas. It is worth buying this package!

It was super shocking, there was no peeing moment throughout the whole show. I suggest going to the bathroom first 😁😁😁, and then going in to experience the whole show. Moreover, whether it is the storyline, special effects, character performances, or the water stage, they are all beautiful and full of surprises!
It’s definitely worth to visit! The show was around an hour and a half long and I’ve never felt bored or anything! Don’t wanna spoil too much. My mom wanted to go at the first place and I was like not really interested in but I love the performance and everything there :)

It's a very interesting Ferris wheel, in the shape of an "8". The windows of the Ferris wheel are very clean and bright, and you can see the scenery outside very clearly, overlooking the scenery of Macau 🇲🇴, especially the hotel lights, which are dazzling and charming. It is really worth a visit. I recommend everyone to go and see it together.
No need to pick up a ticket, it's very quick from ticket checking to riding the Ferris wheel! My personal suggestion is to watch it at night if time permits, the night view is beautiful! Pay attention to the business hours and don't miss it!

You think that City of Dreams only has a Ferris wheel? Yes and no.
The Ferris wheel is in City of Dreams, while City of Dreams has a dancing water stream (although unfortunately, it is not open for the time being due to the epidemic). It upholds the unique characteristics of Macau complexes and is also a one-stop service for eating, drinking and having fun, and is extremely luxurious.
Here, first-line big brands are arranged in order, and there is no need to queue. There are also many designer brand stores, which are very design-oriented. Even the stores themselves are beautiful. From time to time, a limited luxury car will be parked for you in the atrium of the square to highlight your noble status.
As for eating, the shopping mall is much more friendly. Those stars and pearls are all in the hotel upstairs. The restaurant area on the second floor here, Starbucks, McDonald's, snacks and small snacks occupy a large area. You can come up to rest when you are tired.
Compared with the previous complexes, I personally think that City of Dreams has the strongest sense of design and the best looking.
City of Dreams is located in Taipa, Macau. It is a large-scale comprehensive resort city consisting of 4 five-star hotels and a large high-end shopping mall. The daily large-scale performance of "The House of Dancing Water" is also one of the check-in items.

Очень необычная арт-выставка, особенно понравилась комната с висящими светодиодными лентами и с лазером
TeamLab SuperNature Macao was amazing. I didn’t know what to expect but was excited about an extensive video installation. It turned out to be more interactive than I anticipated. I was very impressed and now I want to visit the teamLab sites in other cities.

The Venetian Macao Resort is a place that makes people linger. It perfectly reproduces the style of Venice, with arch bridges, canals and cobblestone roads full of exotic style. Walking through it, the artificial skylight above simulates the blue sky and white clouds, and the day and night change, just like being in the real streets of Venice. The Grand Canal Shopping Center is full of brands and has an excellent shopping experience. The luxury suites are spacious and comfortable, with all the facilities. There are also wonderful performances, rich food, and exciting entertainment. Take a gondola and listen to the boatman's singing through the canal, and the romantic atmosphere is full. Whether it is a date between lovers, a family trip or a gathering of friends, the Venetian Macao Resort can provide the ultimate holiday enjoyment. It is a dream place that must be checked in when visiting Macau.
到了澳门了，怎么能不到威尼斯人来看一看呢？免费的发财车就可以到，这里室内层高估计有五层楼，天空永远是蓝色，这里有银行的ATM机，一圈都是卖各种品牌的商店，四周充满着金碧辉煌的一种气氛，气温调的不冷不热，池水永远是蓝色，空气中弥漫着酒店特有的香味，只是不知道这里面的水多久换一次。有人花钱买票乘坐里面黑色的的贡多拉游啊游。

Sands Macau, including The Londoner Macau, The Parisian Macau, and The Venetian Macau. It's really big. You'll get lost if you walk around inside. I've tried Crystal Jade Ramen and Xiaolongbao at The Parisian Restaurant. It's pretty good.

[View] Macau St. Paul is one of Macau's most famous landmarks, integrating the essence of East and West architectural art, with the reputation of "three-dimensional Bible". [Fun] The archway is beautifully carved, with Western elements such as saints, statues of the Virgin, angel reliefs, and eastern elements such as stone lions, Chinese characters and Japanese chrysanthemum carvings, which have high cultural relics and artistic value.
**Travels in Macau: A time-space fantasy through the East and the West**
In early summer 2025, I set foot on Macau, the "pearl of the motherland", and started a fantasy journey of culture, food and adventure in the interweaving of historical relics and modern neon lights.
**Historical imprint: Echoes of the years in the old city**
The first stop is the Ruins of St. Paul's. The front wall of this Baroque church, which has experienced vicissitudes of life, has a new look in 2025. When night falls, the light show reproduces the original appearance of the church with holographic projection. The mottled stone carvings dance with digital light and shadow, as if telling the fusion of Portuguese charm and Lingnan culture in the 16th century. Passing through the colorful graffiti wall of Love Lane and entering the holy treasure house of the Rosary Church, more than 300 Catholic relics and the gilded relief of the altar silently interpret the heavy history of the "Oriental Vatican". Climb up the Guia Fortress, where the first modern lighthouse on the Chinese coast and the murals of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Snows complement each other, overlooking the panoramic view of the peninsula, where the skylines of the old and new cities collide.
**A feast for the tongue: a taste carnival of market life and luxury**
The soul of Macau is hidden in the fireworks of the streets. There is a long queue in front of Andrew's Bakery on Guanye Street. The freshly baked Portuguese tarts are crispy on the outside and smooth on the inside, and the caramel aroma hits the taste buds directly; the pork chop buns at Dalilaiji, thick-cut pork chops wrapped in crispy bread, paired with a cup of Hon Kee hand-made coffee, instantly wake up the morning. In the evening, move to the Bay Restaurant, where the salty fragrance of Portuguese baked duck rice and the dense cod balls interpret the localization of Portuguese cuisine to the fullest. If you want to experience luxury, the lake view afternoon tea at Wing Lei Palace interprets the exquisite aesthetics of the "food island" with gold foil shrimp dumplings and black truffle siu mai.
**Entertainment secrets: from high altitude limits to virtual fantasy**
Macau Tower is a paradise for adventurers. Standing on the 338-meter-high glass plank road, overlooking the blue waves of the Pearl River Estuary, my heartbeat resonates with the sea breeze; if it's not exciting enough, the VR bungee jumping device takes me to jump into the virtual cloud, and the superposition of technology and adrenaline makes me dizzy. Going to the Venetian, the gondola driver sings Italian folk songs, and the Baroque domes and duty-free shop windows on both sides of the canal interweave into a paradise of consumerism. After nightfall, the upgraded version of "The House of Dancing Water" at City of Dreams is staged, and the audio-visual feast of water curtain blasting and high-altitude stunts draws a magical end to this day.
**Epilogue: The charm of the Macao River in one city with thousands of faces**
Before leaving, I sat alone on the black sand beach of Coloane Island. The waves gently caressed the fine sand, and the neon lights of the Macau Tower on the opposite bank flickered. The diverse faces of this city - the vicissitudes of history, the fireworks of food, and the cutting edge of technology - quietly merged in the sound of the tide. Just like the symbiosis of the ruins of the Ruins of St. Paul's and VR projection, Macau has always been writing a unique legend of "Oriental Monte Carlo" in the tension between tradition and modernity.
**Practical Tips**:
- Transportation: Make good use of the hotel's "Lucky Car" for free shuttle, and walk through the old town to add more charm.
- Avoid the crowds: Visit the Ruins of St. Paul's at 7 am to enjoy the unmanned secret place; Guanye Street has a peak passenger flow in the afternoon, so it is recommended to find food during off-peak hours.
- Technology experience: The AR guided tour of the Macau Museum and the VR church restoration project of the Ruins of St. Paul's make history "alive".
