MACAU
Most tourist from Hong Kong would do a day-trip to Macau which is just an hour away by boat. But it can also be travelled by bus or helicopter. Helicopter would be cool and fancy! haha in another life when I'm a millionaire haha
My family and I travelled by boat and it was still convenient and comfortable. The ticket is around 21 USD or around 1,000 PHP.
Macau is the center to luxurious resorts, casino and historical sights. It is said to be the gambling resort capital of the world that houses 5 out of 10 of the world's largest casino resorts. Amazing isn't it? Have to come back here when again I'm a millionaire and can splurge in shopping and casino-tripping. hahaha

The Venetian Macao is the 2nd largest casino in the world that is also a luxurious and famous 39-story hotel. The hotel has around 3,000 luxury suites,30 restaurants, 330 retail stores, 4 outdoor swimming pools, an 18-hole rooftop golf course while the casino has 640 gaming tables and 1,760 slot machines. 😱😱😱

🔶Must eat in Senado Square: Portuguese egg tarts, steamed milk pudding, milktea, almond cookies, beef jerky
MACAU TOWER
This has to be my favorite place because I found out that its bungy jumping is a Guinness World Record for the Highest Commercial Bungy Jump. I always wanted to try bungy jumping or sky diving but it is pretty expensive eh?? hahaha and I feel like when I'm at the edge of the platform, I'd chicken out! haha But it has always been in my bucketlist, I would sometimes daydream or imagine myself jumping from a building or helicopter and I would get chills and excitement! 🤣
The Macau Tower Convention and Entertainment Center offers the best view of Macau! The highest observation level is the outdoor Observation Deck on the 61st floor but my family and I just stayed at the observation lounge on the 58th floor. The tower was inspired from New Zealand's Sky Tower, one of Macau's casino billionaire wanted it built in Macau. Amazinggg!!
🔶What to do there: Enjoy the panoramic view of Macau from the bservation decks, shopping for souvenirs , dining, entertainment (movies) , tower adventure (such as bungee jumping, skywalk, tower climb)
