Attention! ! ! ! ! ! Before you suggest going to Macao, please refer to the following three suggestions, and you will get unexpected results and gains in your visit.
First of all, you'd better change the RMB you want to use into Hong Kong dollars before you go to Macau. Because most people in Macao only recognize Hong Kong dollars and Portuguese coins, and Hong Kong dollars and Portuguese coins are equivalent, it is best not to change Portuguese coins, because Portuguese coins are not common in Hong Kong. And remember to change some change for the bus. The bus is driverless, usually 2.5 yuan. You can bring DV, camera and so on. Go to Macau. If you want to check the freedom of your mobile phone, you only need to open international roaming.
2. If you want to go to the weekend and stay for one night, you'd better find a local or Zhuhai travel agency to help you book a hotel in Macau, otherwise it's generally expensive and you can't book it for the time being. Of course, if you spend too much money, this clause will automatically expire. Generally, the price of temporary standard rooms ranges from 700- 1000 yuan, but it will not exceed that of 300 yuan through travel agencies, and sometimes it will be lower.
Generally speaking, only three languages are used in Macao: English, Portuguese and Cantonese. In order not to be completely discredited when I first entered Macao, I suggested going to Xinma Road (Municipal Square) at the first stop. This road is the most famous, and it is paved with beige and black waves with small stones, extending to the distance. Where there is a fountain in the middle, you can get free maps and various scenic spots at the tourism bureau in the upper left corner (I heard that you will move soon, and everyone will know when you arrive). Take a copy of each kind of information, which will be of great help to the next play and arrangement. Most importantly, with the map, you can visit all the major scenic spots in Macao.
Ok, here are the strategies for this two-day tour of Macau. In fact, you don't need any strategy to go to Macao. Most of the scenic spots are on the same line and can be reached on foot. As long as there is a map, any strategy is redundant. Write this article to thank all the people who have helped me and the donkey friends who need to go to Macau. Get to the point, or someone will complain that I am watering, haha.
1, let's go:
On September 13, at 8: 00 am, we will meet at the gate of Zhongshan Hua Fu Hotel. As soon as it was dawn, we went to the "Kuaimeimei" not far away for breakfast. Pork rolls taste good. The three of them ate and laughed and missed the 8: 30 bus to Gongbei. I have to wait here for the next bus. Depart from Zhongshan Hua Fu Hotel at 9: 00 on time, pass through Wuguishan and Sanxiang, and finally arrive at Gongbei Port Square. It takes about 1 hour. When I arrive in Zhuhai, I have to pass a checkpoint. A handsome guy came up to check, and as a result, several people were driven away. Needless to say, they have no border cards. Anyone who can travel to Hong Kong and Macao can keep this border card. Just wave the Hong Kong and Macao Pass in front of the handsome guy. Think about it, Hong Kong and Macao can go in and out, but Shenzhen and Zhuhai are not allowed to go.
Cost: (1) Tickets: Zhongshan Hua Fu Hotel-Zhuhai Gongbei Port RMB15 yuan/person. (If you buy a round-trip ticket, you only need 25 yuan/person, valid for three days. We bought a round-trip ticket on this trip, saving 5 yuan/person. This train leaves at 0: 30 sharp, so get on and buy a ticket. (2) Breakfast: 5 yuan/person. (3) Lunch in Macau: RMB 10 yuan/person (what sausages, bread, mineral water, snacks, etc.).
As soon as we got off the bus, we felt the unique flavor of Zhuhai, a coastal city. Look across the street. That's our destination, Macau. You can see cars driving in Macau from a distance. Because Zhuhai was not the destination of our trip, we didn't make any stop and went directly to the border checkpoint of Gongbei Port.
2. Entry:
As soon as I entered the gate of the border checkpoint, it was all dark and my eyes were dizzy. Originally, Zhongshan was one of the first cities to hold a tour to Hong Kong and Macao on July 28 this year. I also did it at this time, but it was delayed again and again, and the time for going to Macao was set at the beginning of September. What happened? I just want fewer people. There are three types of entry and exit at the border inspection, and the people queuing at the door are all people holding personal Hong Kong and Macao passes (mainland residents' passages). There are four lanes, and the number of people trying this kind of plane is still increasing, because the queue is almost curved. The second category is the holders of Macao resident identity cards. Needless to say, the team is also senior. Even if there is no one, we can't enjoy this treatment. The third category is package tours, which are not small in number, but less than mainland residents. At this time, you will see several tables around many people on the left side of the door, that is, next to WC. Upon inquiry, it turned out that it was possible to set up a temporary individual tour group by spending 10 yuan, which greatly expanded the tourist channels. I think the money is well spent. If you wait in line, it will take at least an hour. Anyway, it's cool. I heard that I don't have to wait in line when I come back, and then I know the secret. Of course, there is no need to spend this 10 yuan when there are no queues in all the lanes. However, in broad daylight, you can have such an opportunity. The outline is O.
As soon as I got out of Gongbei Border Inspection Station, I found Macau opposite. Of course, you can only see it, but you haven't really set foot on this territory that originally belonged to China. You have to go through Jiuqu 18 Bay and fill out a health declaration form of the Health Bureau of the Macao Special Administrative Region Government. Only after crossing the border checkpoint in Macao can we really enter this tiny place-Macao.
As soon as I got out of the Macao checkpoint, the cars on the opposite road changed to drive on the left. Taxis look a bit like police cars in American gangster movies. Most of them are Toyota cars, which are very high-end. Go out and walk about 50 meters to the right. You will pass a newly-built gymnasium next to you, and you will see the bus terminal.
3. First stop: Xinma Road (municipal square, fountain, Sao Paulo archway, battery, Macao Museum, Civil Affairs Department building, post office, tourism bureau, Notre Dame Church, shopping area, etc.). )
Why did the first stop go to Xinma Road? You will know why when you see the list listed behind me. So many scenic spots are on this line that you can reach them on foot. You'll soon know a thing or two about Macao. The most important thing is to go to the Tourism Bureau to get all the free information about Macao. This will help you to arrange your trip to Macau.
Get on the bus from Guanzha Bus Terminal, and take bus 3A at 10, and get off at Xinma Road (downtown). All buses in Macau are sold without tickets, and Macao Island is in MOP (also known as Portuguese currency) ￥2.5 yuan/person. You'd better take the bus 10, which will be faster. Actually, it doesn't matter what car you take. Macao is very small, but it takes some time to get used to it when you just set foot on this land. Because all cars are driving on the left, the people who get on the bus are also on the left. You can relax along the bus lines and enjoy this city with Portuguese characteristics.
Get off the bus and walk to the new road. After a few tens of meters, you will arrive at the municipal square, where there is a fountain. There are usually some local students and groups performing on weekends. When I went there, I happened to meet a program organized by the Macao branch of the World Red Cross. Go straight inside, and you can see the Rose Church, St. Paul's Archway, the Big Fort, the Macau Museum and so on. Among them, there is also a Hong Kong SASA Macau branch in the shopping area, which specializes in girls' cosmetics. Behind the St. Paul archway, there can be stairs leading to the second floor. You can see some pigeons sitting on it, among which you can see many little girls throwing dimes and dimes. There is a western cemetery more than ten meters behind the St. Paul archway. There is nothing to be afraid of. Generally, GG and MM guard the door, but they are free to enter and leave. Those who are interested can go in and have a look. There is a camp street on the right, which contains some houses of Macao residents and some local snacks. It's big inside, so you can go shopping for a long time. There is a sign next to St. Paul's archway. Up the hill, you can see the big battery and the Macao museum, among which the Macao museum has to charge tickets.
4. Second stop: Portugal (Australasia Bridge, Shi Sheng Lotus, Horse Racing, Wine Museum, Australian Foreign Ministry, Macau Ferry Terminal, Warrior Casino, New Yaohan, etc. ).
I want to go to Macau. There is no reason not to go to Portugal. Whether you like gambling or not, it is worth seeing a large casino that can only be seen in Hong Kong movies. Come out of the St. Paul archway and return to the original municipal square. It takes only ten minutes to walk to Portugal along Prince Yin Avenue. You can also see many beautiful cars that are not common in the mainland along the way. There is nothing special about Portugal during the day, but it is particularly beautiful when it is illuminated by lights at night. You can see the arrow on the roof piercing your heart.
As soon as you enter, a gentleman's GG will let you keep your bags, cameras and other things, because the security here is particularly strict. Basically, you can't bring anything in except money. Ha ha. Except for MM's personal bag. After passing the inspection, it is already day and night. The landlord on the first floor should have blackjack, slot machines, gambling, big and small points and so on. And 90% are mainlanders, and about 70% are women. It seems that girls are no worse at gambling than boys. Downstairs, the first floor and upstairs are all casinos. I didn't go in. I heard that most of us can't get upstairs. After feeling the legal casino, I came out, surrounded by large and small pawn shops. Needless to say, I know what happened. You can only use Hong Kong dollars and Portuguese coins in casinos. If you want to make a small bet, you have to change the money before you go in.
You can see the sea when you come out of Portugal, and you can see the racing car and wine museum when you go up. We didn't go in. Several other scenic spots are nearby, within walking distance. Among them, the Warriors Casino is also a casino, just by listening to the name. We also went in for a period of time, and we were allowed to go in only after checking our personal Hong Kong and Macao passes. The Macau Bridge is opposite the Lisboa Hotel. It is a two-lane bridge and the only way to connect the Prince. Shi Sheng Lotus is the regional flower of Macau, and there is an exhibition hall next to it, which is filled with items presented by various provinces to celebrate the return of Macau, among which Hong Kong is the most disgusting. You'll know when you see it You can't even imagine that this is from Hong Kong compatriots. I won't say much here, just have a look at it when I have time.
5. Third stop: Mage Temple (Mage Mountain, maritime museum, Macau Tower, etc. )
After lunch, we originally planned to take a taxi to the Mage Temple, but after thinking about it, Macau was small and wanted to walk around, so we gave up the idea and agreed to walk. Finally, you will cheer for your wise choice, because you will drive in the opposite direction from the municipal square to Portugal. When you get to the crossroads, just ask passerby A or passerby B, and someone will tell you how to get there. Walk up this side near the sea for about fifteen minutes, and you will see a short mountain bag with three words "Mage Temple" written on it, indicating that you have arrived. You don't have to doubt yourself. As long as you walk in, you will see some broken buildings, some crowded believers, men and women, holding incense and praying.
There is a maritime museum next to the Master's Temple, and tickets are required. We didn't go in to see it either. We just took a picture of our visit here. Walk along an ascending path and you can see the Macau Tower in the distance. At that time, there were people racing dragon boats at sea, but I was not in the mood to watch. When you come out, you are almost in New Yaohan, which is a large shopping place. Haha, you said that Macao is not small, so you turned around the main island of Macao.
6. Fourth stop: Islands: Taipa (Macau University, Macau International Airport, Macau University of Science and Technology, Macau Racecourse, etc.). )
This stop is just a lift by, and I didn't stop to play. Let's talk about it next time. It is said that the racetrack in Macau is also famous.
7. Fifth stop: Island: Road Ring (Heisha Park, Heisha Beach, etc. )
That night after dinner in M, we wanted to go to Lu Qianhuan, because we turned to the new road again, and we could take the bus stop sign in Macau (remember, the bus stop sign can be rotated by hand). Black sand beach round trip 5 Australian dollars/person. One trip 10 yuan. But as soon as you get on the bus, you will know the value of 5 yuan, because this roundabout is really far away and there is no scenery next to it. Only at the destination, that is, the terminal, that is, at Heisha Park and Heisha Beach. Only in this way will I feel that I have not come for nothing. I can enjoy listening to the sound of the sea at the black sand beach, barbecuing in the park, walking and so on. And it is best for couples to come. This is romantic enough.
On the way back, you can pass the University of Macau, Macau International Airport and Macau University of Science and Technology. We didn't stop at these attractions. Those who are interested can get off and have a look. It's about 9 pm when we get back to the new road. Then we'll find a place to live. Here we find how troublesome it is not to make a reservation. Ask, it is hundreds of dollars. I can't bear to live in such a high-end place, so I only live in 250 yuan, and it's still Hong Kong dollars. In the evening, go to the municipal square again. The lights are beautiful, so you can sit in the chair next to you and watch the people coming and going, and once again appreciate the small town with Portuguese style.
