The City of Macau:

Macau can be compared to a coin with two facets, heads and tails; two contrasting sides that continuously challenge each other. On one side, you have ancient ruins, churches, fortresses and foods deriving from Macau’s previous colony chief, Portugal. On the other side, you have the booming Las Vegas style hotels and casinos displaying their names in bright lights. This Vegas in Macau feel is very popular in China as it is the only place in the country where casinos are allowed. Macau is a beautiful city, enriched in history and empowered by present technology; the two coming together to create a harmonious and unforgettable encounter for tourists.

Macau’s Highlights:

• A-Ma Temple: This temple dates back to the early sixteenth century. A-Ma Temple is dedicated to Matsu, the goddess of seafarers and fishermen. The temple is enlisted on Unesco World Heritage List.

• Senado Square: This pedestrian highway is at the heart of today’s Macau as it was once at the center of the Portuguese colony of Macau. The Senado Square is paved with a wave pattern of colored mosaic stones.

• Casinos: This gaming haven will charm those feeling lucky as both Chinese and Western style games can be enjoyed at the 28 casinos of the city.

• Lou Lim Iok Garden: The only Suzhou- style garden in Macau boasts elegance and peaceful serenity. Known as Jiangnan in Chinese, this garden is an elaborately decorated feast for the eyes.

• Macau Wine Museum: A wine lover’s delight, this museum holds more than 1115 brands of wine with the oldest being “Martle”, which was produced in 1815. No wine connoisseur will leave here unfulfilled. Visitors can satisfy their palate by tasting both recently brewed wine and samples from carefully selected aged wine.
