Colourful macarons, you are as sweet as them. You are the apple in my eyes, the sugar in my life. It’s the fifth! Although we ended up in the sunny isle of Singapore instead of breezy London, that few days were certainly worth reminiscing again and again. It was a hotel with a resort feel. [ READ MORE ]
大三巴牌坊,哪吒廟,議事亭前地,民政總署,觀音蓮花苑,澳門旅遊塔。 大三巴牌坊,也称为Ruins of St. Paul’s Cathedral,位于大三巴街附近的小山丘上。其实它前身是座创建于1580年的教堂,但在1595年和1601年先后两次失火焚毁。教堂的第三次修建在1635年完工,是当时东方最大的天主教堂,被誉为立体圣经。可惜在1835年教堂再次失火,从此就只留下了貌似牌坊的教堂前部的石壁和68个阶梯了。 哪吒庙,这座充满中国神话色彩的庙宇建立于1888年。相信哪吒庙的出现是因为当时澳门饱受瘟疫侵害,但此举遭到葡萄牙殖民政府反对,所以居民就只好以简陋的方式自行兴建,拜祭供奉。最后,政府尊重居民意愿,没有将之拆除,所以现在极具历史价值。 议事亭前地,位于澳门的新马路上,是澳门的知名观光景点。拥有充满欧洲气息的建筑群,独特摸样的石板路,另人印象深刻。 议事亭前地的美丽建筑物,一彩绘瓷砖而出名,前身是市政厅,建于1784年,回归后成为澳门特别行政区政府的民政总数总部。 观音莲花苑,高20m,重50吨,由青铜所铸造,于1993年3月开光,自此便气势不凡地伫立在海上默默地守护着澳门。观音像踩着的是一朵高7m,直径19m的莲花宝座,而这个由16朵莲花花瓣组成的宝座则安置了一间佛教文化中心,内里的展品都是有关儒家学说,佛教和道教思想和宗教方面的资料。 澳门旅游塔,位于澳门半岛南端的世界第十高塔。观光台前就是澳门360度的景色,日景,夜景,各具特色,在这里能够一览无遗。2001年竣工,高338m,观光塔的特别之处在于它设立了许多刺激的冒险活动;包括了塔顶绑紧跳,塔顶漫步,攀爬塔尖等。[ READ MORE ]
Hard Rock Hotel Macau has an in-house Pop Museum which showcases wardrobes worn by megastars and musical instruments which once graced the stage with them; the most recent collection is none other than the bling bling diamond gloves of the late Michael Jackson. A pretty cool hotel that oozes the pop factor, it also has [ READ MORE ]
To the best of my knowledge, this is one of the few all-suites hotel. How cool? My room has got two queen size beds, two TVs, a coffee table, a dining table, a set of sofa and a impressive bathroom that is half-the size of my room, it allow three people to do different things [ READ MORE ]
Las Vegas of the East. Macau, the biggest gaming hub in the world with a monthly revenue of US$3billion.
