It's awesome when I get to know that Nuffnang Malaysia is going to send 3 Nuffnangers to Visit Macau!
Well, I've been Macau when Dec 2011. That was my first visit.
It is my pleasure to promote Macau as a first time tourist at Macau. ha!
What is the first image that comes across your mind when you hear Macau?
Casino, Portuguese tart, Ruins of St, Paul's, Guia Chapel, Macau Tower... etc
Yes!!!! I'm really exciting now and
let's Begin from the Sightseeing!
The Ruins St. Paul's is Macau World Heritage and the icon of Macau
The Church of Mater Dei built in 1602-1640, destroyed by fire in 1835, and the ruins of St.Paul's College, which stood adjacent to the Church. As a whole, the old Church of Mater Dei, St. Paul's College and Mount Fortress were all Jesuit constructions and formed what can be perceived as the Macau's ''acropolis''. Close by, the archaeological remains of the old College of St. Paul stand witness to what was the first western-style university in the Far East with an elaborate academic programme,
Nowadays, the facade of the Ruins of St. Paul's functions symbolically as an altar to the city.
The huge wall!
(let's have a photo with the Ruins St. Paul! Say Cheese!!~)
Grand Lisboa Hotel is the famous hotel in Macau. As you can see the unique architecture of the building with thousands of LED lights shining at the dark of the city of Macau. Besides the hotel, Casino is the one of the famous entertainment in Grand Lisboa.

The next station will be the Famous drama from Hong Kong in 1980 named The Bund (上海滩）act by Actor Chow Yun-Fat & Ray Lui ------- Chapel of Our Lady of Penha
It is the first Chapel that found on 1622.
It also a famous place for the wedding couple to capture their wedding picture!
(Opppsss.... I can feel the marriage smell! )
Don't you feel that from the previous part i've introduce the world heritage, church, to the new building Grand Lisboa they are related to Portuguese Country?
Uhh haa~! Let me tell you the story.
A former Portuguese colony, Macau was administered by Portugal from the mid-16th century until late 1999, when it was the last remaining European colony in Asia. Portuguese traders first settled in Macau in the 15550s.
Yup~ hmmm~
It's time for some tea break! Uhh~ Don't you know the most great dessert you can't miss is........
the Portuguese Tart!!!!!
Please eat it when it still warm~ highly recommend!!
2nd dessert you can't miss in Macau is Double Milk Egg!!!
you can also add some red bean for topping!!
3rd must try food is the Shrimp roe noodle. It's dry noodle covered by dry mince shrimp.
If you are planing to go Macau during September, you will be lucky to see an international Firework Display Contest!!
As the annual Macau International Fireworks Display Contest - universally acclaimed as one of the best of its kind - takes place on the Macau Tower Shorefront from mid-September to 1st October every year.
