Walking in Macau for 9 hours, I'll tell you all the pitfalls and thunder points
【First Chatter】
I went to Macau for a day, and many friends asked me about my feelings: The most impressive feeling that day was the crowding and loneliness.
The crowding is a description of the city, feeling that there are 10 people standing in one square meter; loneliness is because there are multiple languages being spoken around you, but none of them you understand, in Macau I felt like I was alone.
【On the Road: Customs Return】
🛻 Customs & Return
Enter from Zhuhai Gongbei Port (6 am-1 am), follow the instructions all the way, now you don't need to declare your health status, report separately if there are exceptions. The whole process is to swipe the pass, fingerprint, exit the customs and get the voucher, fingerprint, fast customs clearance.
❗️Lesson from the past: If you have Hong Kong and Macau endorsement information, you can handle the new endorsement by yourself at the endorsement machine, it takes 1 minute. If you have never had any Hong Kong and Macau endorsements (a white card), you must follow the time for handling a new card.
❗️Return: Gongbei Port is called Guanzha in Macau, don't search for the wrong destination when you search.
❗️Shopping, generally you will not be stopped when you return unless you have a lot of things.

If it weren't for the Venetian who kept walking and felt there was no end, I should be able to visit more places
【Food & Souvenirs】
Macau is expensive, so I didn't eat anything particularly good, but there are some small shops I recommend to everyone (I've eaten)
1⃣️ Jinmei Food
2⃣️ Jinli Food Shop
3⃣️ Paramount
4⃣️ Xingxiangyuan
Souvenirs, the most common and most chosen is "Juji Souvenir", and I chose to buy "Andrew Egg Tart" for egg tarts.
【Extra Attention】
1, Expenses: Most shops can Alipay & WeChat, real-time exchange rate, cash can be exchanged for 1000 Macau dollars, Hong Kong dollars can also be, but the exchange rate is different.
2, SIM card: You can buy it at customs or in advance, turn on the phone after customs, and you can receive the Macau signal.
3, Macau taxi: Taxi stand queue or hail (but I didn't see anyone hailing, almost all were queuing) or Macau call app, taxi is a bit expensive, traffic is not easy to move, often over a hundred, and only cash is accepted.
4, Bus: All 6 yuan, prepare the money in advance, no change
a good place to know about the history of macao and need to hike to reach here but just walking distance from san paul
Macau museum in the greenery surrounding - overall a great visiting experience at ë museum.👍🏻✨
A place where you can explore the history of Macau and many interesting information
Macau Museum is a museum opened for public. This is quite interesting place to visit. Museum of Macau introduces history of the region in very detailed manner. I like this place.
The museum is divided into three floors, the first floor displays the early history of Macau, the second floor displays the folk art and traditions of Macau, and the third floor displays the objects of contemporary Macau. Macau's museums use three-dimensional, light, sound, and high-tech images, using replicas and models to strengthen the display effect, mainly collecting calligraphy and painting, match industry, export porcelain, folk etiquette, road ring black sand archaeological site, firecrackers.
The museum houses a remarkable collection of historical artefacts, including ancient documents, artwork, and cultural relics. It provides valuable insights into Macau's past.
The Macau Museum and the Fort are together, an attraction. The museum is small, there are not many displays inside, and more people are going to see the Fort.
