Macau in-depth travel, a hidden treasure destination, unknown casinos and neon lights

Among all the Travel destinations, there are always a few treasure destinations that are hidden by the surrounding popular places. They hide their own beauty, just to appreciate its beauty. It blooms in person, just like flowers blooming in the dark night. People who are not careful will not know its beauty even if they hold a lamp.
  






Macau is such a low-key but yet An extraordinary destination. If you have been attracted by Hong Kong and have forgotten Macau, a city full of charm, now is the time to face its beauty. If you are tired of long-distance flights and feel that Southeast Asia is always the same way, then I really recommend you to come to Macau. When you come to Macau, you shouldn’t spend all your time in the casinos and queuing at the egg tart shops. Its appeal will never be so mediocre, otherwise I wouldn’t spend an entire article praising it. If your Hong Kong and Macau pass happens to still have a Macau endorsement, or you have never arrived in Macau, this article will help you re-understand this city that is obscured by the light of Hong Kong and outside the neon lights of the casinos.
  
Labeling Macau as a gambling city is your biggest mistake


Betting on this word, labeling Macau The smell of money is amplified by nearly ten million times, just like if you don’t gamble in Macau, you lose the meaning of coming here. Macau has not yet removed this label, or in other words, it is too lazy to remove it. In fact, it is also thanks to gambling that the land of Macau is imbued with a sense of luxury that is unprecedented or unmatched by other cities. Maybe you, like me, also want to find the fireworks of ordinary people in this city of money, so that you can truly get close to Macau. "Did you know that "MACAU" is not my real name?" Although Macau is not a big city, its past experiences have given its people the opportunity to experience Portuguese customs in China. Colorful buildings, churches and temples stand side by side, and it is close to Hong Kong without being indifferent. It seems that a smile can enter the hearts of Macau people.
  


This special sense of opposition makes Macau unique. Everyone will always encounter some unexpected gains when they come to Macau. This is much more interesting than following the rules every day according to the set route. It is like a piece of white paper, and your feet are the brushes. There are no restrictions for you. Wherever you go, this white paper becomes your unique Macau travel diary.
  
Pak Tai Temple





In Macau, where churches can be found everywhere, it is not easy to come across a popular but distinctive Chinese temple. However, just like Hong Kong people are keen on Wong Tai Sin, Macau people also have their own Persisting in faith, Pak Tai Temple is a representative Chinese temple. It is dedicated to the God Xuantian and retains Chinese characteristics in its architectural style. It seems that the arrival of other faiths has not put any burden on it at all. History has given it a special color, and the solemnity of the temple comes from all directions. It is no wonder that this temple is still very popular after many years, and it is also an amazing ancient building.
  
Our Lady of the Rosary




Otherwise, Macau is a surprising place. In the past, churches that people thought were solemn and solemn have also become Portuguese-style here. The most representative one is the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary near Ruins of St. Paul's. The light yellow and white colors of the building's exterior walls continue the Mediterranean decoration style. While breaking away from people's inherent thinking, it also adds a sense of vitality to the place. Although the exterior is lively, the interior still retains a religious feel.


Bishop Hill Chapel





When everyone is checking in outside the Saint Francis Cathedral, I would rather take you to a higher place. In Macau, which has no shortage of special churches, the Bishop's Hill Chapel overlooking the entire Macau Peninsula is still a A "heterogeneous" existence. The simple appearance is full of traces left by time, and it is precisely this simple appearance that allows it to present different beautiful scenery in different weathers. Holding a wedding here probably means that the entire Macau Peninsula will celebrate with you, and the kind Madonna statue beside the church is also quietly spreading its blessings.
  
In the busy Macau, the alleys and streets bring their own fragrance


A city like Macau is destined to be busy , the flow of people has gradually increased since early morning, office workers walking fast, Tourists taking three steps at a time, and children running after the wind...




Even though there are thousands of streets and alleys in Macau, they all have their own characteristics. If you only think that the beauty of Macau is limited to the scenic spots highlighted in the guide books, I’m afraid. You will suffer a loss, after all, the human touch is also the most unique charm of the streets of Macau.
  
Lung Song Street



Perhaps various travel notes have told you that there are many buildings in the center of Macau today. How prosperous it is, but if you move the time forward, most people may not be so familiar with it. Longsong Street was one of the most famous streets in Macau in those days. The history here could fill a whole book. Although it is only 360 meters long now, the characteristic buildings on both sides of the street and their old appearance are... They all tell stories about the past. Although it has been renovated now, it is still a pleasure to visit the once central area of ​​Macau.
  
Red Market



I want to know what people in a city think about life Just go to their market and you will know how particular they are. Unlike a cold supermarket, the warmth and warmth of people here can be seen through at a glance. As a favorite shopping place for locals in Macau, the Red Market has always had an irreplaceable place. People grew up from children here to adults, and then continued to be busy with their families. The red exterior wall is irresistible, and it happens to be here where you can fully experience the human touch of Macau.
  
Fulong New Street




Macau, which also has a lot of land, always has its own reasons for choosing between the old and the new. Fulong New Street, once the "Land of Fireworks", now shows another side of it that has been washed away by time in front of everyone. This is also a place where Macau people get along well with the city and architecture.
  
Open the other side of Macau, mediocrity is not a shortcoming


The row upon row of residences in Hong Kong once made Countless people are rushing to check in, and Macau is not easy either. Although luxury hotels make people want to swipe their cards to check in on impulse, the charm of the city can always pull the string in your heart, making you feel as if you haven't seen them in one day, making you feel itchy and unbearable.
  


In fact, the life of Macau people is also full of the taste of our ordinary people. The smoke is floating, the smoke is lingering, and making a home in a crowded room. Perhaps these are things we have ignored. , then since you have come to Macau, why not go and have a look.
  
Taipa


It is not an exaggeration to compare Taipa to another side of Macau. The casinos in Macau are a psychedelic city full of money and wealth, while Taipa is a world full of fireworks. Different from the bustling scene in Macau, the buildings in Taipa are slightly smaller, but the colors are extremely rich. The buildings with different styles are lined up one after another, as if they have fallen into the center of the palette.
  
Sidakou



This is a serious residential area, suitable for those who live a busy life. For Macau people, its beauty has been completely wiped out by seeing it day and night. In fact, this is one of the few unpopular places in Macau. From the outside, you will find that this is a community full of creative ideas. When you get closer, do you remember the Monster Building in Hong Kong? It can also be photographed here. Although it is not as shocking as the dark clouds in Hong Kong, it still has a bit of Macau origin.
  
The extravagance and glamor are just superficial, Macau’s art and culture is not inferior to anywhere else


I often hear from friends who go to Macau Tell me: Macau is just a place for gambling and eating. Indeed, the characteristics of Macao attract countless people, but for young people here, or those who still pursue Macao culture, literature and art are also the label of Macao.
  


Even though countless exhibitions give priority to neighboring Hong Kong, this does not hinder Macau people’s pursuit of literature and art. After all, what money can't buy is always the most unique lifestyle in your heart.
  




I am afraid many people have forgotten the beauty of traditional bookstores, but in Macau, people are still keen to go to In a bookstore, you can touch the aroma of physical books with your own hands. It is a smell that cannot be imitated. As a well-known independent bookstore in Macau, Biandu Youshu has been deeply loved by the people of Macau for many years. Here you can find independently published books that are rare in other bookstores, as well as visual literature that visual lovers like, and books full of Modern poetry and other books with a literary and artistic flair. In order to enhance the atmosphere of the entire bookstore, exhibitions, music performances, etc. are sometimes held here.
  
Macao Public Library




Many people travel to Macau hoping to take some good photos, but in fact what really makes the photos unique is the soul. If you want to capture the life soul of Macau people, come to the Macau Public Library. Although Macau is not big, there are countless libraries hidden in this city. The Macau Public Library is one of them. It is located on Sha Li Tou Seaside Street. It still retains the appearance of an old building on the outside, but it is very modern inside. Residents, both men and women, old and young, love to come here to study quietly, and it is also very friendly to tourists, but remember, the correct way to visit the library is to be quiet and not disturb others.
