Climb the highest peak in Macau and enjoy the Londoner's light show.

On the second day of the Macau trip, we set off from the Parisian Hotel where we stayed in the morning and arrived at the historic old town of Macau. First, we climbed the highest peak in Macau, Mount Songshan, and visited the scenic spots such as the Dongwangyang Lighthouse, the Battery, and the Zero Kilometer on the mountain. Then we visited the newly popular Wan De Tang district, a famous spot for social media, in Macau. After lunch, we visited the Macau Grand Prix Museum to experience the speed and passion that belong to Macau. In the evening, we checked in at the Londoner Hotel, just one street away from the Parisian Hotel, and enjoyed the hotel's light show. Let's take a look together: Macau's highest peak - Songshan Mount Song is not high, only 94 meters, but it is the highest peak in Macau. It takes only ten minutes to reach the top, where there is a lighthouse built in 1865, which is the oldest lighthouse in the Far East and a part of the world cultural heritage "Historic Centre of Macao". Next to the lighthouse is the Chapel of Our Lady of Snows, built in 1622, with a history of 401 years. In front of the lighthouse is a fort built in 1622, which was an important military base in Macau. It was not until the Portuguese army withdrew in 1976 that it was developed into a tourist attraction and opened to visitors. There is also a cylindrical monument about 1 meter high next to it, which is the zero kilometer landmark of Macau and the specific latitude and longitude address of Macau marked on the world map. Wangde Hall District This district is the smallest of the eight parishes in Macau, with only 0.64 square kilometers. It is an inland parish and also the one with the highest population density in Macau (with a population density of 50,469 people per square kilometer). Although the St. Anthony Parish is small, there are many ancient Portuguese-style buildings preserved, among which the most representative one is the "Pou Tai Un", which used to be called the "House of the Poor". It was built more than a hundred years ago and belongs to the property of the "Charitable Association of Macau". The name of the Guia Fortress comes from a church in this area, which is located on Rua da Penha, across from the Rua da Felicidade. It was the religious center and residential center of the eastern district of Macau in the early days of the city's construction. According to records, the church was first built in 1568 and has a history of more than 400 years. The Guia Fortress area was named after it. Macau Grand Prix Museum This is one of the most worth-visiting museums in Macau. It is located on Avenida do Coronel Mesquita in the new port area and was established to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Macau Grand Prix. It exhibits more than 30 award-winning race cars that have participated in the Macau Grand Prix in the past, including the cars of the driver R. Schumacher and the late world champion driver Senna. In addition to visiting these race cars, there are also immersive interactive projects such as simulated racing and award-winning scenes, which are very interesting. Portuguese-style dinner Macau is not only a city of leisure and tourism that people long for, but also a famous world capital of cuisine. After hundreds of years of collision and integration of Chinese and Western cultures, Macau has formed a unique and diverse culinary culture. At noon, we had Western food at the Parisian Hotel, and in the evening, we chose the unique Portuguese cuisine, which was praised for both its environment and taste. Macau's Avenida da Praia Grande at night. After dinner, we returned to the Parisian Hotel and took photos of the light show and night view of the area across the hotel. From a distance, the lights were dazzling and colorful, representing the epitome of prosperity. Many internet-famous girls tried to find various angles to capture this unique charm of Macau. Check in at Londoner Hotel at night. After watching the light show and night view, it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening. Then we checked into the Londoner Hotel, which, like the Parisian and Venetian hotels, is located on the Cotai Strip in the reclaimed area of ​​Macau. It is adjacent to the Regency Hotel, Conrad Hotel, and Sheraton Grand Macao Hotel. The hotel is full of luxurious suites.
