Macau
"Vegas of China"
The Macau Special Administrative Region is indeed a mecca of gambling and food
The sound of canto fills the air on the streets with Portuguese heritage and culture.
Why not stay for a bit of gamble and it might pay out a bit of our tuition fees? (I'm just kidding)
Top 4 must go places
1. RUINS of St. Paul
The most treasured icon in Macau, the towering facade and stairway are all that remain of this early-17th-century Jesuit church.
The church was designed by an Italian Jesuit and completed by early Japanese Christian exiles and Chinese craftsmen in 1602. It was abandoned after the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1762 and a military battalion was stationed here. In 1835 a fire erupted in the kitchen of the barracks, destroying everything, except what you see today
2. Casino Grand Lisboa
Located on the Avenida Doutor Mario Soares, Casino Lisboa is one of the landmarks of Macau. The casino is famous for its variety of gambling games, unique design, exquisite decorations, and sound facilities. It attracts a great number of gamblers and visitors from all over the world
Tips:
1. Visitors under the age of 18 are not allowed in( bring ID )
2. Tourists must accept security check at the entrance
3. Tourists are not allowed to bring cameras and other video devices since taking photos is forbidden in the casino;
4. Ladies can wear skirts, but gentlemen are not allowed to wear slippers or shorts.

3.Venetian Macau
Get Lost in the Biggest Casino in the World
The Venetian Macao is a luxury hotel and casino resort in Macau owned by the American Las Vegas Sands company. The Venetian is a 39-story, casino hotel.
The Venetian Macao has 550,000 square metres of dedicated gaming space. That means more than 800 gaming tables featuring everything from poker to fan-tan and 3,400 slot machines – known locally as hungry tigers
See the Sky
The painted sky that hangs over the Venetian Macao’s canals is truly breathtaking, so much so that many visitors are surprised that it’s not actually real. Yes, of course, you could just go outside and see the actual sky but in here you can enjoy the air conditioning.
Shop Like the Stars
Nowhere in Asia are there more luxury shops crammed into a single space. You’ll want to pack platinum to go shopping, with a red carpet line up that includes COACH, Calvin Klein and Tiffany. If you can it’s best to operate a look but don’t touch policy here; price tags are expensive and there are few bargains.
Rent a Cabana
Don’t settle for a deckchair; the Venetian Macao offers luxury cabanas for a truly swanky poolside experience. In their cabanas, that can host up to four people, you’ll find a mini fridge for your drinks, an AC unit and a cable ready 42 inch TV - allowing you to take a dip in the pool and then repair to watch the game from the comfort of your very own sofa chairs. Prices start at HK$600 for a full day rent.
4. Macau Tower
If you have a chance to visit Macau, do not forget to go to Macau Tower, an important landmark of the city. It was designed by Gordon Moller, a famous architect of New Zealand.
Macau Tower is 338 meters (about 1,108 feet) above the ground. The highest observation level is the Outdoor Observation Deck on Level 61, with a height of 223 meters (about 732 feet). Walking around the Observation Deck, You can have a panoramic view of the Peal River Delta, Macau Peninsula and Taipa, Coloane islands. The Observation Lounge is on Level 58. It is a fascinating place to see the sunrise in the morning or see the spectacular night-view of Macau. Looking down, you can see the East and west Mangyang Hill, Casino Lisboa and even the outlying island of Hong Kong in sunny days.
Bungee Jump - Maybe you have played bungee jump several times, but this is the highest one in the world. Jumping up and down about 223 meters (about 732 feet), you have the chance to renew the Guinness record.
Skywalk X (on Level 61): Walking on the out rim 223 meters (about 732 feet) above the ground, and no handrail is provided. This is another special experience in Macau Tower.
