Fresh Eyes on Macau (2)

As everyone who has ever been to Macau says,it's "small".I don't deny it as a much of a walking person.We visited most of the sites on heels and didn't found any fatigue.The yellow-orange mark below,which starts from where we stayed,is our footprint.We got to nearly 20 sites through it,but it didn't took a long time to do that.

The most well-known street,also the most popular destination of Macau should be the Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro(San Ma Lo)/亚美打利庇卢大马路(新马路).It's polished with elegant architecture and cultural glory.In addition,it's a shopping centre indeed,even better than New Yaohan.Moreover,it's easy to get there.Practically,you're halfway there when you get to Casino Grand Lisboa/新葡京酒店, the yellow lotiform construction,which is across the China back(Banco Da China) /中国银行.Go along the street in between and there is San Ma Lo.There you can go through quite a few recommended feature spots.

The green bars below represent soe of those marvelous casinos. As you can see,they're indeed rivals to each other.

But the most outrageous casino of Macau is The Venetian/威尼斯人.

Well,now locate the yellow building in the upper map and keep our eyes upon the following one.Where the arrow points is Golden Lotus Square/金莲花广场.

Right behind the square,two musuems are there at hand,one is about wine,the other racing cars.Since I'm not expert at either one,I'm not leaving any critical comments here.But speaking of musuems,it's recommended to get a 'musuem pass' in the first place,with which you're allowed to visit six musuems of Macau with 5 days.But the most attraction is that you'll be offered a chance to sample those wine.We met with a flirting wine guy at the wine musuem who seemed to me was a Filipino.But never mind,at least now I know non-sweet are stronger than sweet ones.^^I found myself a terrible drinker,to the point that I felt a bit dizzy just after a sip or two.
