Company Trip to Macau & Zhuhai : Day 1


Macau - I think this is the place where most people will consider to go on a short vacation if one has not enough annual leaves to apply by end of year. Hehe :) It is cold in November (almost similar to our Genting Highlands' temperature) and most of the hotels are nicely decorated with Christmas theme. A very beautiful place to visit during the end of year!
 
This time to Macau is a company trip. The decision was made by Boss so we just followed. To me, it was a bit rushing trip as we were following tour and the rain had made our journey a bit not so smooth upon arrival in Macau.
 
Day 1 - When we arrived in Macau, it was a rainy day. Luckily we had a tour bus to sit on, so no need to be under the rain at most times besides visiting the tourist spots. A few tourists attractions need to walk a bit far as tour bus can only park at certain designated venues. So we walked under the rain, either with an umbrella or a raincoat or with a jacket which in hands. A very memorable day to start with....
 
Day 1 Itinerary - Standard tour package I supposed ~
 
Pick up from airport, visit Ruins of St Paul’s Cathedral, A-Ma Temple, Venetian Casino, shopping at local food product, then check-in hotel.







We checked-in to the GrandView Hotel Macau at around 5pm. Refreshed ourselves and then had our dinner in the hotel's restaurant. After dinner, we took a cab to go to Wynn to view the Wynn Macau Fountain Show. This Fountain Show operates every 15 minutes and last for around 1 minute+ per show. So we managed to view 2 times with 2 different fountain shows. Very impressive and very beautiful!
 
After that we walked to the indoor to view the Prosperity Tree and Dragon Show at Wynn Hotel. This show operates half an hour one time. We stayed back to view the two different shows. Very nice! Really worth the night trip...
 

 
And our Day 1 ended with a short supper time at a cafe nearby our hotel…

According to my colleagues who had been to Macau, there are a few more tourist spots that were not covered in our trip. Macau is very convenient where most of the major hotels do provide shuttle buses to go to the tourist attractions. However, our Day 1 trip was also quite a short one together with the tour guide. We only have half a day to use, hence, we couldn't cover all the places. Haha... To think it positively, this gives me a chance to come back to Macau again, to visit the remaining places which I do not manage to visit at this round.

Macau – A very beautiful country at night ~ I do hope that I can find a time to come back here again for a short vacation to finish visiting the places which I have missed out at this time.
