Macau - tourism attraction and gambling

 
Macau, a very small city located across the Pearl River estuary from Hong Kong, cannot very underestimate. Compare to HK, it is more visible colonial history since it was ruled by Portugal at earlier time. Besides, Macau has an advantage over HK on behave of tourist attractions. It is the gambling industries. Macau government open the gambling licenses and the gambling revenue is the main sources to boost the economy. Macau is vest known as Asia's largest destination for gambling taking in even more revenue than Las Vegas.


Nearly all the hotel in Macau has casino. If you feel you do not have luck in a hotel, just go to another hotel for gambling. Travelling is very convenience in Macau since it is a very small city. In every hotel, there are shuttle bus travel across hotels and it is free of charge. This is one of the most attractive point for gambler.

Besides gamblings, there are also historical buildings in Macau.

This is called 'Ruins of St.Paul's Cathedral. It is the front door of the church since 1580. However the church was burnt during the second world war. The front door was restored by the government afterwards to respect those die in the war.


This is called 'St, Domingo's Church'. It was built by a Spainsh in 1587. The propose for this building is to enshrine St. Domingo.

Cuisine
Since Macau was ruled by Portugal at a earlier time, the food in Macau has a little bit Portuguese culture.
 This is a fried pork bread. Extremely Yummy! This dish is very simply but you cant find a better one outside Macau. The bread is very crispy and the pork is welled marinated.  Its very delicious.
This is the Portuguese Egg Tart. The appearance is very attraction and it tastes sweet. 

The crab soup is one of the representative too. The process and method of making the crab soup in Macau is different from those in China and HK. For my own opinion, I think the soup in China is better :P
