2024 Macau Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)
Located on the southeast coast of Mainland China, Macau has been a point of intersection between Chinese and Western culture for four hundred years, particularly Portuguese culture. You can see the fusion of cultural essences in the details, patterns, and imagery used in Macau’s architecture, nearly everywhere you look. Of particular interest is the Historic Centre of Macau, where the old buildings still thrive, teeming with life and brimming with the mysteries of Macau’s multicultural heritage.
The area covered by Macau is quite small, only 29.9 square kilometers, but its food, ancient architecture, shopping and rich nightlife attract countless tourists.

Coming back to Macau for the 6th time!
I've been to Macau at least 6 times over last 5 years! There is something special about this city that makes me coming back over and over again. Macau is not very big and the architecture is so beautiful, it's better to discover it on foot, rather than taking taxi! There are super famous tourist attractions in Macau (Ruins of St.Paul, The Venetian, Macau Tower, Season Square etc) and sure you need to see them, but after that go for a walk and you will feel the vibe of this amazing city where you find new buildings in the middle of old traditional streets. A little advice: if you are coming to Macau from China, on the border you will find buses that belong to the most famous casinos, they can take you for free (most of the casinos are in the city center, it's super convenient) and if you need to get back to the border late at night you can use these buses as well.

This time I chose the Star Premier Suite at Star Tower, Studio City Macau.
There are welcome snacks and drinks while waiting to check in, and there are free fruits and drinks and some paid items in the room (the food provided varies depending on the room type). The Star Premier Suite is equipped with Acqua di Parma toiletries and Evian mineral water. There is a mini fridge in the room with some drinks to choose from. It is worth mentioning that the complimentary chocolate is super delicious! There are three flavors: hazelnut, raspberry, and green tea. There is a swimming pool in the hotel, but I didn't go because I didn't bring a swimsuit. I can try it next time. It is said that the environment is good. If you go to the casino, remember to bring your travel permit. Sometimes the security guard will ask to see your ID if you look too young. People under 21 are not allowed to enter casinos in Macau.
In addition, there is a free shuttle bus to Gongbei Port/Hengqin Port/City of Dreams on the B1 floor of the hotel. If you want to visit other hotels, you can take the shuttle bus to City of Dreams and then walk. The hotels are very close to each other, so it is convenient to go anywhere.

Dear Jane Concert at The Londoner Macao! Collaboration with String Musicians.
Recently, I attended a concert by the Hong Kong band Dear Jane at The Londoner Macao. What made this performance special was their collaboration with string musicians, which enriched and moved the entire musical experience.
That night, the atmosphere at the concert was incredibly lively. As the lights gradually dimmed, the band members appeared one by one. When the string musicians also took the stage, this unique combination made me appreciate the diversity of music. During the concert, Dear Jane performed many songs, such as 'Hollow Earth Theory' and 'Thank Yourself,' which resonated deeply with me. The audience waved their arms along with the melodies, and the atmosphere reached its peak. At the end, the band thanked every supporter, making me feel their genuine passion for music and their fans.

First time riding the Figure-8 Ferris Wheel 🎡
Actually, I'm a bit afraid of heights
When I stood on the glass floor
I was so tense and scared
For some reason, standing there
Reminded me of the toilet game at Ocean Park's water park
Where the glass opens after 3 seconds and you fall down 🥲
Throughout the ride, I kept thinking about falling 🫠
There are many people during the National Day, and these spots can perfectly avoid the crowd.
p1p2 After arriving at the Ruins of St. Paul's, go straight to the rightmost steps, walk to the top, sit on the flower bed steps next to it, and let your friend take a picture of you from a low angle.
p4p5 When there are few people on the street in the peninsula, let your friend take a picture of you casually.
p6 After taking a picture on the right side of the Ruins of St. Paul's, you can see a check-in spot with the word "Macau". There is a step on the left side of the flower bed, and you can go up to a vacant lot to take a picture of the entire Ruins of St. Paul's.

Macau 3-Day Itinerary Day 1
Walk from The Venetian to Rua do Cunha, buy goat bakers, eat at Ma Jiao Tea Stall in Taipa, Lemoncello, stroll around Rua do Cunha, buy Andrew's Egg Tart, Lemon Tea, order from Ze Xian Ji, but had to wait for two hours, so we visited Carmo Hall, Taipa Houses-Museum, and Taipa Grande Hill Inclined Elevator Viewing Platform. After about two hours, we picked up our order from Ze Xian Ji and bought a pork chop bun from Tai Lei Loi Kei to eat back at the hotel. We walked back to the St. Regis Hotel from the Taipa Houses-Museum Wetland.
【Attractions】
1. Attraction Name + Introduction: Carmo Hall, Taipa Houses-Museum
These are iconic buildings in Macau, attracting many tourists with their green exterior. The complex includes five Portuguese-style houses, Carmo Church, and a library. You can explore the early residences of the Portuguese inside.
2. Attraction Name + Introduction: Taipa Grande Hill Inclined Elevator Viewing Platform
The inclined elevator has entrances on both sides of the road connected by a sky bridge. Once you take the elevator up, you reach the Taipa Grande Hill Viewing Platform, where you can see The Venetian, Taipa Houses-Museum Wetland Ecological Area, and Rua do Cunha.
【Food】
1. Restaurant + Must-Eat Dish: Andrew's Egg Tart
Andrew's Egg Tart has always been my number one egg tart. Every time I come to Macau, I must eat it and buy some to take back to Taiwan. You must eat one fresh out of the oven on the spot. The golden crispy outer layer, caramelized top, and sweet filling are incredibly delicious (be careful not to burn yourself). The texture is smooth and delicate, making you want to eat another one!
2. Restaurant + Must-Eat Dish: Milk Custard Flower Cup
The layers of the crispy outer shell are well-made and very flaky. When you take a bite, it crumbles everywhere, and the filling flows out, making it a messy but delicious experience. Besides Andrew's Egg Tart, this is another dessert shop I would visit again in Macau.
3. Restaurant + Must-Eat Dish: Lemoncello
This is another ice cream I must have every time I come to Macau! The lemon flavor is surprisingly delicious, with a perfect balance of tartness and sweetness. The guava flavor is also very good, not too sweet, and the combination of the two is fantastic!
4. Restaurant + Must-Eat Dish: Ze Xian Ji
I ordered the Portuguese Tart Egg Waffle flavor. Initially, I thought it would just taste like regular egg waffles, but after waiting two hours and taking the first bite, I was amazed! No wonder it takes two hours; each bite is crispy on the outside and filled with rich Portuguese tart filling and caramel aroma. It's incredibly delicious!
5. Restaurant + Must-Eat Dish: Ma Jiao Tea Stall
I ordered the silky egg beef rice, French toast, a cup of iced lemon tea, milk tea, and Ma Jiao beef. The silky egg beef rice is delicious, with perfectly cooked eggs and well-seasoned beef. The French toast is average but not too greasy, which is great. The drinks are not too sweet and quite refreshing. Ma Jiao beef is milk tea with milk tea ice cream, very sweet.
【Accommodation Recommendation】
Hotel Name: The St. Regis Macao (Cotai Deluxe Room)
Hotel Address: The Londoner Macao, Estrada do Istmo, Cotai
The St. Regis Macao offers 24-hour private butler service. You can ask the butler to make coffee or tea in the morning. It is interconnected with Sheraton, Conrad, and The Londoner hotels, and connected by sky bridges to The Parisian and The Venetian hotels across the street, making it a great accommodation choice.
Experience at The Venetian Macao.
The guest rooms at The Venetian Macao are a perfect blend of luxury and comfort, and the most striking feature is undoubtedly the exquisite bathtub. Soaking in the bathtub feels like being in a private hot spring, with the comfortable water temperature washing away the fatigue of the day, allowing you to completely relax your body and mind. The rooms are also equipped with various high-quality bath products, so you can enjoy a bath while appreciating The Venetian's meticulous attention to detail.
Macau's!!! This, this, is really, really, really, really delicious!
🌶️ **Macau's Original Black Pepper Soup Dumpling Roast Goose**: This black pepper soup dumpling roast goose is a unique delicacy in Macau. The roast goose has a crispy skin and tender, juicy meat. Each bite of goose meat is filled with the rich aroma of black pepper and delicious soup!
🍲 **Nongfu Spring Purple Clay Kung Fu Soup**: On the streets of Macau, Nongfu Spring Purple Clay Kung Fu Soup is definitely a cost-effective and healthy delicacy! This soup is made with Nongfu Spring's natural spring water, paired with various precious medicinal materials, and slowly stewed in a purple clay pot. The soup is delicious and rich, nourishing and healthy.
🦞 **Boston Lobster Baked with Cheese and E-Fu Noodles**: This dish is simply a luxury representative of Macau cuisine. Boston lobster is paired with cheese and E-Fu noodles, with a rich taste. The lobster meat is tender, and the E-Fu noodles absorb the strong aroma of cheese and the deliciousness of lobster. Each bite is an ultimate enjoyment.
