Macau/Macao has a small land area and territory consisting of 2
islands and a peninsula. It was colonized by Portuguese in the 16th century
and was subsequently given back to China in 1997 and became one of its Special
Administrative Region.
Macau possesses vast history, culture and
economics. The Largo do Senado is the main area. It is a Mediterranean Square
surrounded by old buildings and churches. The square is full of shops and
restaurants. You can see the town center from Monte Fort. The world renowned Sao
Paulo de Ruinas and Museum de Macau are located here.
Two bridges connect the Peninsula making it
possible to reach Taipa Island, wherein Macau International Airport,
various hotels and casinos, stadium are located.
The other island is called Coloane, dubbed
as the home of Macau’s best beaches and golf course.

Buses are available in Peninsula,
Taipa and Coloane. The transportation is fixed at a rate of 2.50 MOP within the
Peninsula, 3.30 MOP and 5.00MOP if going to Taipa and Coloane, respectively.
Hotels and casinos offer free shuttle and bus
services but their routes are only from their location going to the airport,
ferry terminal and to the border of mainland China.
I was able to go through Macau from
their 3 ports namely Macau Ferry Terminal (coming from Hong Kong), Mainland
China-Macau Border (coming from Guangdong) and Macau International Airport
(coming from Manila) and I enjoyed the hotel and casinos’ free transportation
services.
As I said Macau is small and a whole-day tour will
be sufficient to visit all of its attractions.
