Macau Museum on the Hill
The Macau Museum is located close to the Ruins of St Paul's. It is a nice place to visit after you take a walk at the ruins. Some say the best way to understand a city is through their museum. There are 3 storeys in the museum. The first level is about the history of Macau. The second level is my favourite part, display of arts and cultural things. The third floor is about contemporary social conditions. You could see the influence of Portuguese and Chinese cultures here. When you come out from the 3rd level, you will reach the Fortaleza do Monte. From here, you can see the panoramic views of Macau.

Sunrise at Fortaleza do Monte
Woke-up early to witness a beautiful sunrise at Mount Fortress or also know as the Monte Forte/ official name Fortaleza do Monte. The walk going up at the Mount Fortress is refreshing, and surely you will witness a beautiful sunrise.
The Fortaleza do Monte is one of the historical landmark in Macau. You can also enter and go up through the Macau Museum and see a beautiful and historical collection while heading to the fortress.
A lot of locals also wake up early to do some exercise/ walking and jogging at the the fortress, since the air and view is relaxing.
Don’t forget to visit the fortress when you visit Macau. The hike is worth the view. #mytripvlog #tripblazers

FORTALEZA DO MONTE: Home of the Macau Museum
Built in 1626, Fortaleza do Monte was for many years the hub of Portugal's military presence in this part of China, eventually serving as the governor's residence, a role it performed until 1749.
Today, this former fortress houses the three-story Macau Museum, dedicated to the archaeology and anthropology of Macau with an emphasis on how the Chinese, Portuguese, and Macanese have come to live and work together.
Also worth visiting is the Mount Fortress Garden, a welcome respite with its pleasant moat-like pond and flower beds, and the Moorish-style Mansão Evocativa de Sun Yat-Sen, a mansion built in memory of Sun Yat-sen, founder of the first Chinese Republic. Another related site is Sun Yat Sen Park with its beautiful gardens, a Victorian greenhouse, and an aviary.

If you want to understand the historical and cultural customs combining Chinese and western elements in Macau, you cannot miss Macau Museum. Located on the hill of the Fortaleza do Monte, it offers a panoramic view of the city. While the first and second floors are underground, from the third floor you can see the whole city at a glance.

This was an interesting little museum in the old town of Macau. It’s cheap to get in and it’s worth a look, but it’s not a must do by any measure. It kind of gives you an overview of Macau history including contemporary history. And they have a re-creation of a typical Macau Street scene.

If you want to know more about Macau, how can you miss the Macau Museum? The Macao Museum was on the fortification platform behind the landmark of St. Paul in Macau. It ised to be a military centre. It was not until 1998 that it was changed into a museum. It is a good place to learn about Macau. It takes 15 Australian dollars to go to the museum. Credit cards or Alipay cannot be used here. The museum only accepts payment in cash. There are no toilets in the museum. You can take pictures inside the museum, but be sure not to use the flash.

A classic Macau day trip itinerary that saves you from backtracking.
⭕️Let's get straight to the point.
The route map is already quite clear, but here's the order in detail: Start from Gongbei Port👉Grand Lisboa👉Leal Senado Square👉Municipal Affairs Bureau👉Church of Our Lady of Rosary👉Souvenir Street👉Love Lane👉Ruins of St. Paul's👉Museum of Sacred Art and Crypt👉Mount Fortress👉Macau Museum👉Travessa da Paixão👉Rua da Ressurreição👉Jardim de Vasco da Gama👉Lisboa👉Wynn Macau👉MGM Macau👉MGM Cotai👉Wynn Palace👉The Londoner Macao👉The Parisian Macao👉Seac Pai Van Park👉The Venetian Macao👉Rua do Cunha👉Galaxy Macau👉Gongbei Port
🔆It seems like there are many places to visit, but one day is enough. Many people have followed this route, and I've also walked it myself before writing it down‼️These are all places in Macau worth visiting, and they're all covered in this route. From Travessa da Paixão to Rua da Ressurreição, you can also experience the local street atmosphere. After all, you can't just go to the places where tourists usually go when you come to Macau🔥
Here are the descriptions of each attraction:
Peninsula (⚠️):
Grand Lisboa: There are collections of Mr. Ho, and you can store items.
Leal Senado Square: It used to be the location of the government.
Holy House of Mercy: It is a neoclassical style building.
Church of Our Lady of Rosary: It is very beautiful and famous.
Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro: It is equivalent to the "Rua do Cunha" of the Peninsula.
Souvenir Street: You can taste for free.
Love Lane: It is very suitable for taking pictures.
Ruins of St. Paul's: Needless to say, it is a landmark attraction in Macau.
The crypt behind the Ruins of St. Paul's: If you are interested, you can go and see.
Mount Fortress: It used to be the core of Macau's defense.
Macau Museum: If you are interested, you can visit.
Travessa da Paixão: There is a group of Portuguese-style buildings.
Rua da Ressurreição: You can take photos of the same style as National Geographic magazine.
Jardim de Vasco da Gama: It is very suitable for girls to take pictures.
Lisboa: It is suitable for taking "successful people" photos.
Wynn Macau: The money tree check-in point and the water and fire fountain are not to be missed.
MGM Macau: The milk tea is very good, and there are a variety of pastries and drinks.

Galaxy Macau: The performance in the Diamond Lobby is wonderful.
‼️The last bus of the Galaxy Fortune Car is at 23:00, everyone should pay attention to the time arrangement. The Macau bus costs 6 yuan💰 no matter where you go, and does not support scanning code payment. Cash can be used in RMB, HKD or MOP. If you want to experience the light rail, the light rail ticket machine only supports MOP, and Alipay needs to be processed at the manual window.
✅I personally feel that this day trip is not too tiring and can play fun places. Multi-day tours are relatively expensive for food and accommodation, and not necessary. Subsequent other strategies (such as the time of various performances, etc.) will be updated slowly, thank you for your support!🙏
‼️‼️1G of data is enough, the Wi-Fi in the casino is very easy to use, and it is fully covered.

Visit Macau Museum
#chinatrip
The Macau Museum is a treasure trove of the region's rich history and diverse cultural heritage. Through immersive exhibits and interactive displays, it traces Macao's evolution from a small fishing village to a vibrant global hub of trade and culture. From colonial influences to local traditions, the museum offers visitors a comprehensive understanding of Macao's unique identity and its place in the world.

Macau Exhibition | A Macau History Exhibition Suitable for Families
The permanent exhibitions at the Macau Museum are rich and can be roughly divided into two threads according to my summary: and . is the cause, and is the result. It is the rich and unique history that has created Macau's diverse cultural traditions.
Today, let's briefly talk about the part of the exhibition.
🗺️Geographical Clues🗺️
One well-known and undeniable fact is that Macau has a long history of colonization. During the colonial period, a large amount of foreign cultures, led by Portugal 🇵🇹, poured into Macau.
⚠️Upon entering the museum, there is an interesting corridor. It presents a condensed form of cultural representative content from ancient times to the present; what's more impressive is that the left and right sides of the corridor respectively display the local Chinese 🇨🇳 culture of Macau and the foreign cultures, corresponding one by one, offering an excellent viewing experience.
🧿The Underestimated Length of History🧿
Macau's human history began in the Stone Age.
Though small in size, it has been a place of human activity for thousands of years, something my narrow knowledge did not anticipate.
The long history through the colonial period to the thriving post-handover period, the combination of cultural relics and models makes the exhibition more interesting.
🖼️The Overlooked Historical Status🖼️
Mainly the part about the Maritime Silk Road. As an important port city, Macau should indeed be an important node on the Maritime Silk Road. Based on trade exchanges, the already culturally diverse Macau was infused with even more elements, reflecting inclusiveness and integration on various levels.
📝Simple Summary📝
If the exhibition only displayed cultural relics, it would be somewhat dull. The logic of the exhibition here, combining cultural relics with model explanations, is both interesting and valuable, and well worth a closer look.

Macao Museum—A History of East-West Cultural Exchange
The Macao Museum is located at No. 112, Praceta do Museu de Macau, in the Macao Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. It is a comprehensive museum with a total area of 2,800 square meters and an actual exhibition area of about 2,100 square meters. It was completed and opened to the public on April 19, 1998, with the ribbon-cutting ceremony presided over by the Prime Minister of Portugal, António Guterres.
The Macao Museum is mainly divided into three floors. The first floor displays the early history of Macao, the second floor showcases Macanese folk art and traditions, and the third floor exhibits contemporary Macanese items. The museum utilizes high-tech methods such as three-dimensional displays, light, sound, and images, and employs replicas and models to enhance the display effect. Its main collections include calligraphy and paintings, the match industry, export porcelain, folk rituals, the Hac Sa archaeological site on Coloane, and items from the firecracker industry.

Macau Exhibition | The unexpectedly impressive Macau Museum on Mount Fortress
The Macau Museum is actually on top of the big fortress, with several levels up and down, and the exhibits and exhibitions are in no way inferior to those on the mainland.
🗺️First, let's talk about the location🗺️
You can definitely find St. Paul's, and not far from St. Paul's is the big fortress, and on top of the fortress is the entrance to the museum.
🌟Practical Information🌟
🎫Ticket Price🎫: Adults 15 MOP, students 8 MOP, very cheap. Free admission for those under 1 year old and over 65 with ID~
⏰Opening Hours⏰: Closed on Mondays, open from 10-18 o'clock the rest of the time.
⚠️Something Special⚠️: No entry after 17:30; no need to book in advance, just buy tickets on-site~
🖼️Overall Impression🖼️
Honestly, it kind of subverted my understanding, the history starting from the Stone Age is so flavorful.
Macau's several hundred years of special history has created a unique Macau culture and tradition, where 【History】 is the cause and 【Culture】 is the expression, and this is the basic logic of the museum.
♥️Worth Paying Attention♥️
1️⃣【History】 and 【Culture】 are the two important threads to follow when visiting here, and the exhibitions are also roughly displayed according to these two perspectives.
2️⃣In addition to the regular exhibitions, there are also some temporary exhibitions, such as the 【Land Culture】 related exhibition I encountered.
3️⃣Many parts of the exhibition are interactive, which is very suitable for parent-child tours.
📝To Sum Up📝
This article briefly summarizes the information about the Macau Museum, and there will be two more articles discussing the exhibition content later.

Macau tourist attractions, all sorted with a mini-program!
Macau is small, but it's rich in cultural and sightseeing spots, such as world heritage sites, historical buildings, museums, churches, temples, parks, and more. Details of the attractions can be found on the mini-program of the , which is very convenient👏
After organizing the places I want to visit, I found that 90% of them are on the Macau Peninsula. Staying here would offer a great experience. The Sofitel at Ponte 16, located on the banks of the Pearl River, is also one of the nearby high-rise buildings. From the windows of the rooms, you can see the entire Macau Peninsula, and all the stories of Macau are within sight📷
🤓Fugu Bao says, 'The buildings here grow so densely, but the deliciousness is in these 2-meter-wide alleys!' When did you start to understand this...
Every year, the eighth day of the fourth lunar month is Macau's Intangible Cultural Heritage Festival , the Drunken Dragon Festival. I wasn't sure if it would be held before coming, so I took my chances. Fortunately, the weather was nice, and I saw the entire event at the Largo do Senado. There were special instruments and a drunken sacrificial dance, different from the traditional dragon dance. Macau's 'Drunken Dragon' only has the dragon head and tail, with the dancers staggering as if drunk, while others accompany them and pour drinks along the way. It looks very interesting. Participants of all ages were involved, and I didn't expect the youth of Macau to be interested in intangible cultural heritage.
Largo do Senado is a very central location in the old town, and it's also where many of Macau's must-visit attractions are densely located, such as the Ruins of St. Paul's, the Church of St. Dominic, the Monte Fort, the Macau Museum...
And for Fugu Bao, the tech-savvy content is also attractive. The Macau Science Center is a must-visit, and if you're interested in racing, the Grand Prix Museum is also a great place.
In June, the midday temperature in Macau is already quite hot, and there's nothing more relaxing than soaking in the hotel pool , having afternoon tea under the shade of trees, playing in the water, and watching the sunset over Macau Island. The hotel's restaurants are also very good, where you can taste romantic French cuisine at Prive or authentic Cantonese dishes at the Chinese restaurant, which is also popular with local residents for dim sum at noon .

Macau | Scenic Walk in the Old Town Area - Monte Fort Park
🚗 The Historic Centre of Macau, located on the Macau Peninsula of the Macao Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, centers around the old city of Macau and connects more than 20 historical buildings. The area of the historic district extends from the Mount Fortress in the east to the Inner Harbour Pier near San Ma Lo in the west, from the A-Ma Temple in the south to the Camoes Park in the north. The construction of the various buildings in this architectural complex dates from the Ming Dynasty to the Republic of China, spanning over 400 years.
🚗 Take the light rail to the Barrier Gate Station 🚇 A-Ma Temple 🚶 A-Ma Temple 🚶 Macau Old Town (Ruins of St. Paul's, Macau Museum, Guia Lighthouse, Monte Fort Park, Senado Square). Alternatively, you can take bus 26 directly from The Londoner to the vicinity of the Ruins of St. Paul's.
🚗 I seem to remember seeing somewhere that it should be a World Cultural Heritage site, but to be honest, it didn't feel very impressive. The surrounding attractions are quite concentrated, but they are built on a hill, and some places require climbing stairs. It feels quite hot at noon, but there is also a large flow of people, and the weather does not seem to affect people's enthusiasm at all.
🚗 Many small shops in the surrounding streets are quite good, and some streets will be temporarily turned into pedestrian lanes. There's a lot of food, and most of it can be paid for with a mobile phone.

To understand a city, start with its museums | The Macao Museum, a family-friendly destination for a day out
The most direct way to understand a city is to visit its museums. The Macao Museum is located in the old city area of the Macao Peninsula, which is a concentrated area of attractions. It is right next to the Ruins of St. Paul's, and you can get there by taking the escalator next to it. There is also a large fort nearby.
🍀 The Macao Museum is not large but very enjoyable to visit, divided into three floors:
The first floor exhibits Macao's early history, the trade between the Chinese and Portuguese in Macao, their religious and cultural contacts, and the Macao culture that has gradually formed over hundreds of years; the second floor is the Macao Folk Art and Tradition Exhibition Area, displaying Macao's traditional culture, including folk art, religious ceremonies, and folk celebrations; the third floor shows the urban appearance of Macao today and the characteristics of the residents' lives, as well as literary works and artworks themed on Macao.
🍀 Some tips for visiting:
1⃣️ There is a free drinking water facility. There is a water dispenser opposite the entrance where the escalator comes up, in the direction of the restrooms, where you can drink and refill water for free, just bring your own bottle.
2⃣️ There is a small stand at the exit on the third floor of the museum where you can get a free stamp (the fort's stamp), don't miss it if you bring your own notebook!
3⃣️ The museum is not large and takes about 1-2 hours to visit in total.

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.
【On the Road-Macau Crazy Walk for 9 Hours】
Gongbei Exit-(Take the New Lisboa Fortune Car)-New Lisboa-(Walk)-Legislative Council-(Walk)-Ruins of St. Paul-(Walk)-Fort/Macau Museum-(Walk)-Crazy Church Slope-(Walk)-Dongwangyang New Street-(Walk)-Old Lisboa-(Bus 6 Yuan)-Londoner-(Walk)-Venetian-(Bus/Taxi/Fortune Car)-Old Lisboa-(Bus/Taxi/Fortune Car)-Guanzha
10:00-19:00, 9 hours, the output limit
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
