First Time in Macau? Just Copy This Citywalk Route!

Guys, Macau is truly a hidden gem perfect for citywalking! It offers both extravagant luxury and rich historical charm. Here’s my amazing route to share with you—first-timers, just follow this guide! 📝 🎫 Pre-Trip Prep: - Apply for your Hong Kong and Macau travel permit in advance, and make sure the visa is valid! - Purchase an overseas data package online before arrival, then simply turn on roaming in Macau. - Exchange some small-denomination Macau Patacas (MOP) for backup. While most places accept mobile payments, you might need cash for buses or street snacks. You can exchange money at the border. 🚗 Transportation Guide: - Take the high-speed train to Zhuhai Station, then walk to Gongbei Port. After customs, head straight to the free shuttle buses ("Fortune Buses")—they’re convenient and frequent, dropping you near major attractions. - For buses, prepare cash or a Macau Pass (MOP 6 per ride). - For taxis, download the "Macau Taxi" app for easier booking, with WeChat/Alipay payment options. 🗺️ Citywalk Route: 1️⃣ **Ruins of St. Paul's** 👉 Macau’s iconic landmark! For great photos, try the right staircase, Lover’s Lane, or the UYQ building to avoid crowds. Nearby shops offer free samples of pork jerky and almond cookies—perfect for snacking while exploring. 2️⃣ **Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro (New Street)** 👉 Get the *National Geographic*-worthy shot! The sloped street with old buildings in the foreground and modern towers in the background creates a stunning contrast. 3️⃣ **Guia Lighthouse** 👉 Overlook the entire Macau Peninsula here. It’s peaceful and scenic—grab a bench and enjoy the sunset. 4️⃣ **Rua do Cunha (Food Street)** 👉 A paradise for food and photos! Besides Macau specialties like Lord Stow’s egg tarts and Mok Yi Kei durian ice cream, there are now Instagram walls with "Macau" in different styles—the one near McDonald’s is the most popular. 5️⃣ **The Venetian** 👉 The indoor artificial sky and canals feel like Venice. Hop on a gondola for dreamy photos. 6️⃣ **The Parisian** 👉 Don’t miss the Parisian Garden for romantic shots with the Eiffel Tower replica, whether on the lawn or a bench. 7️⃣ **The Londoner** 👉 The British-style architecture, Big Ben, and red phone booths are cinematic. At night, the lights add extra charm. 🍜 Food Recs: - Besides Rua do Cunha, try the curry beef offal near St. Paul’s—tender chunks in rich curry sauce. Also, don’t miss the crab congee, bursting with umami and local flavor. 📌 Tips: - Avoid weekends/holidays for fewer crowds and better photos. - Macau’s indoor AC is strong—bring a light jacket. - Note the Fortune Buses’ operating hours (e.g., The Venetian’s last bus to Gongbei leaves at 22:00). This citywalk ensures an immersive Macau experience with stunning photos. Save this and start your adventure! 💖
