【Casual Getaway】A 3-Day, 2-Night Macau Trip with ZAiA Show at The Venetian

I remember a friend from Macau once said, the greatest joy of living in Macau is sitting in the open space in front of your own home, gently feeling the breeze, basking in the sunlight, and setting out a bottle of fine grape wine and a few slices of cheese, chatting and laughing with a few close friends over drinks and daily life — this is the optimistic and contented philosophy of life for the people of Macau.

Walking around Macau, you can feel a warm and friendly atmosphere everywhere. It’s as if you’re in a familiar Asian city, yet with a European flair; however, when you turn and walk through the reclaimed areas or the Nam Van district, you suddenly realize that brand-new buildings in another space are opening their arms with warmth to welcome you. This time, we flew to Macau to explore the Historic Centre of Macau, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stayed at the dazzling The Venetian Hotel, and the highlight of the trip was watching the breathtaking Cirque du Soleil ZAiA show in the evening～

 

Day 1
【Itinerary】Taoyuan – Macau – Ming Yuan Congee Noodles – Yi Shun Milk Company – Macau Peninsula Bar Area
【Accommodation】 The Venetian Macao Resort Hotel

★★★ Recommended Attraction = Ming Yuan Congee Noodles
Apart from being masters at making soup, Cantonese people also excel at cooking congee. I highly recommend Ming Yuan Congee Noodles’ Clear Fish Slice Congee and Shrimp Wonton Noodles; as for the Clear Fish Slice Congee, the fish slices are tender, thick, rich in flavor and free from any fishy taste. Most importantly, the cooking process doesn’t ruin the texture of the fresh fish...Click to see all attraction info

★★★ Recommended Attraction = Yi Shun Milk Company
Yi Shun stands out thanks to its five-generation family secret recipe and its own dairy farm in Jiangwan, Zhuhai, which produces fresh dairy products. As a result, their dairy-based desserts are exceptionally rich and creamy, with an irresistible smooth taste. The Ginger Milk Pudding, made entirely with fresh milk, is created by boiling the milk, letting it cool, then adding ginger juice to make it coagulate into a jelly-like consistency...Click to see all attraction info

★★★ Recommended Attraction = The Venetian Macao Resort Hotel
As the car approaches the Cotai Strip that connects Taipa and Coloane islands, you can see from afar the lifelike church bell towers, the white Rialto-style bridge, and the massive central main building standing right before your eyes.
