Venture into the UNESCO World Heritage Site with
over 20 ancient monuments at the Historic
Centre of Macau, witness a dazzling live performance and heart pounding festivals
across the modernized front of the city, indulge in great diverse range of scrumptious native cuisines across the
streets, there’s just too many reasons why the vibrant city of Macau is
where I fancy for on my next holiday getaway ^^ For more information on
travelling to Macau, simply log-on to http://www.macautourism.gov.mo/
1. Being the first European settlement in the Far East back in the 1500’s,
once colonized by the Portuguese and now became a Special Administrative Region
(SAR) of China, Macau has carved out its own unique identity as a living
testimony to the integration and co-existence of eastern and western cultures. Ruins of St. Paul’s (大三巴牌坊), A-Ma Temple (妈阁庙), Senado Square (议事亭前地), these are among the definite ‘MUST SEE’ places to be jot down on
list ;)

beginning of a dazzling smorgasbord of shows
and evening delights. Head down to a world class visual and staging performance
featuring stellar line-up of international and regional entertainers after a
satisfying dinner is how you should end a day in Macau ^^
