Macau has impressed again! For the 20th time in Macau


Macau has impressed again! For the 20th time in Macau

Every time i come to Macau, the city opens up in a new way. You will always find out the fresh facets of this unique place!
And so it happened on March 19, 2023.
As usual, I bought an Internet package for a day for 9.9 yuan in the Skytone app. I prepared the QR code in advance in the Wichat mini-application of the Chinese customs.
I have prepared a receipt in advance for entry to China (since I have not issued an E-channel for my passport yet, I will do it in April 2023).
I always get to Macau in different ways. Lately, driving or taking a taxi to Henqing Port.
This time I took a taxi to Guangzhou South Station.
The 12306 railway application has not yet been able to confirm me, so I have to suffer, like all foreigners in China.
I went to the ticket office and stood in line for 45 minutes to buy a ticket to Zhuhai. I bought it, sat down, and was at the Gongbei port border crossing at 12 a.m.
I quickly crossed the border using the APEC Business Travel card and at 12.20 I boarded the Shuttle bus to the Grand Lisboa Hotel. You can go anywhere from here for free!

The route on this day was NOT a classic one (the old wall, the fort with cannons, the Giya lighthouse, the maritime museum, the Ama Temple).
I went to the cozy Lilau square


visited the Mandarin House Museum
I was very surprised by the minimum of information. And also because there was no information about this rich man. But I’ve already studied a lot about him in Guangzhou museums.
Zheng Guanying is an entrepreneur, owner of the Mandarin house in Macau. He was born in Junshan, Guangdong Province. In his early years, he was already involved in business. He then followed Minister Li Hongzhang to Shanghai, where he made himself a successful businessman. He was the General Director of the Shanghai Telegram Bureau, the China Merchant Steamship Company and the Yue-Han Railway Company. As an active reformer, he inspired the future generation. One of his famous works is Shengshi Weiyan.

He also reached the statue of the goddess Kun Iam. There is a museum inside

The last 2 times I was in Macau, I had trouble finding a currency exchange office or at least an ATM. Previously, there were exchangers every 30 meters. Many banks are closed on weekends.
It’s also not easy to catch a taxi or take a taxi in the Macau Taxi app – drivers don’t want to go, they say, look for us yourself. So we walk to a big hotel, and there are always plenty of taxis there. I took a bus from the peninsula to the island. They weren’t allowed on the bus without a mask! I pay as always conveniently – via a MacauPass card or the Mpay app (I top up with 7eleven patacks).
I stopped by Dufy Free and took a bunch of goods to a client from Guangzhou (I have a platinum discount at Dufry).
On this day, my friends jumped from the Macau Tower.
I visited the tower 1 time in 2019, but only watched)
I met Snimy at 5 p.m. at the Venetian Hotel, after which we went to buy waterjet tickets to Hong Kong. I showed my Sands Casino card, and they gave me a 10% discount. The office also sold direct bus tickets to Hong Kong. Departs directly from the Venetian Hotel.

You can also just take a taxi to the bus terminal, where you can take a bus to Hong Kong 24 hours.

Sometimes there are no waterjet tickets!!
After buying the tickets, we went to the French restaurant Brasserie at the Parisian Hotel. Paid 3,500 pathaks.

Then – Water show in front of Wynn Palace.


Next – hotel Morpheus.

The idea was to get drunk in a stylish place.
First, we went to the casino and put 2 chips (2000 HKD) on red on the roulette table. They won (doubled). I wanted to issue a Melco club card, but apparently the staff had already gone home.
We went straight to the nightclub on the second floor to drink rum and Coke.

After sitting at a table for a while, we went back to Parisian to a room with a view of the tower.


In Galaxy about to open ultra luxury hotel – Rafffles Macau.

It was already late, so I took a taxi to Henqing port. I crossed the border and took a taxi to Guangzhou. I was home 2 hours later (at exactly 2 a.m.).
This is what another trip to Macau turned out to be!
