Hi I will be goin to macau next year jan for 5 days 4 night free and easy.
Its my first time travelling to China, I have read the whole tread and it seems that macau have nothing much to do and one day would be enough, so any recommandation where i should go? I'm not planning to go to HK because I'm goin to HK around May/June next year. Mostly I will be goin to Zhuhai and where else I should go? Canton? anymore suggestion?

Is Canton = GuangZhou?

Yes. Canton=Guanzhou. I'm planning to go there too in Dec. Since you are not planning to HK, probably can consider ShenZhen. There are 2 major attraction there..Windows of the world & I think another is slendid china ...I hv been to Windows of the world & spent almost whole day in that gigantic Mini World...there is also a mini Kek Lok Si

I hv not research about Foo Shan which is located 1/2 way between Canton & Zhuhai...The only thing remind me of that town/city is "Wong Fei Hong" Not sure what nice there..

hi all,

my travel agency got packages to macau. can refer to this thread in garage sales..

Is Canton boring? Don't think will be goin to shenzhen also, because i'm planning next trip is HK & Shenzhen. So most probably will be goin to Macau-Zuhai-Canton. Is it ok? or should I go other place instead?
Is there anything to do in Canton? because when i watch astro 304, Jiayu channel like nothing to do in Canton..

how convenient is macau to shenzhen? how long i need to travel and is it expensive? thanks.

i will be going to Macau nest year Jan2009, how is the temperature at that moment?

From Google Earth, seems like u need to goto Canton suburb first before making a far South turn to Shenzhen...It's damn far!! a rough distance of >200km from Macau i.e (120km toCanton & another 100km from Canton to shenzhen!!)

If time is not a constraint probably can break the travelling to 1 day towards Guanzhou, 2nd day to Shenzhen & 3rd day take the Guanzhou -HK MTR train to HK Kowloon tong station, & 4th day back to Macau on the super dupper expensive ferry!! This route will take approx 6days 5N!! Haizzz..regret oledi!! I should hv bought 6 days to Macau instead of 4 days!!

The most I can go is up to Zhuhai (Day 1), Canton (Day2) , Back to Zhuhai/Macau (Day 3 & no way can I go Hong Kong!! .. I'm staying at Zhuhai & decided to forfeit last day stay at Zhuhai for fear of missing my flight bck if stay at Zhuhai

Added on July 24, 2008, 4:53 pmOpss after detail checking on Google Earth again...I did noticed couple of huge bridges linking Zhuhai short of going thru Canton, & thus, after measuring the path to Window of the world from Zhuhai , its only about 170km from Zhuhai/Macau

Any Tips For Travel In Macao?

Due to lack of number of days (4D3N), I decided to change my trip plan as follows - I think it will worst than going by full package )

1st day - Arriving in Macau - direct to Venetian Casino, Macau Tower, Ruin of St Paul (2nd visit) & straight heading to the border. Overnite in Zhuhai.

2nd day - Start early to Guanzhou - Reaching hopefully by 9am..Visit Sun Yat Sen memorial, old quarter of Guanzhou, shopping & by 4pm take a 2 hr bus ride to Shenzen. Stay overnite in shenzen

3rd day - 2nd visit to Window of the world & straight to Hong Kong via MTR to Tsim Tsa Sui to snap a quick photo b4 boarding ferry to Macau (Hong Kong is just a connecting city - atleast for my family who hv not been to HK ) - Stay Overnite in Macau

4th day - Morning sight seen around the hotel b4 going to the airport....


Wah..really rush!! but possible ho

When U Go?

Winter mth - December 3rd

most likely u can cover all the travel spot in just 1 or 2 days time in Macao. so, the rest of the day i guess u can start gamble from morning till nite.. hahaha

and if u are going on Winter, the weather will be kinda cold there. i'd been to HK on FEB this year, and its very cold, temp roughly 6c~13c. Macao as well. so, remember to prepare your shirt.

No problem intended to go during winter...but not at the coldest point in Jan/Feb..just begining of winter which I expect will be a cool 12C-15C.. I hv been to Macau & HK but that was in Jun 1995 - weather was hot in Jun, so travelling during that time was no fun - sweating even walking at the Miu Kai /Ly yan kai .

Macau no need 2 days...1/2 day will do & that I did in 1995 by taking a ferry from HK in the noon & managed to cover The ruin, Sun Yat Sen house, Lisboa casino, Taipo island (A real jungle at that point of time & no bridge linking to the colloange island yet!! Now linked by Venetian!! & just started the airport project- All in all, I was back to my HK hotel at ~9pm..

..but during that time, ferry fare was cheap (~HK100) & so do 1/2 day travel package at Macau (illegal taxi!) _ the rate!! HK$100 =RM30 only!!
