MACAU - Las Vegas of Asia - Day Trip from Hong Kong (1080p HD) | Magda T
MACAU (also spelled Macao) is a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China. It was a Portuguese colony for 300 years hence it’s a cultural hybrid of West and East. Known as the ‘Las Vegas’ of Asia, gambling is Macau’s biggest industry and with its revenues exceeding Las Vegas, it’s now the Gambling Capital of the World.
MONEY: Macau has its own currency, the Macanese Pataca (MOP) but Hong Kong Dollars are wildly accepted everywhere (rate - 1:1)
GETTING THERE FROM HONG KONG:
Macau has a separate immigration regime from mainland China and Hong Kong so don’t forget your PASSPORT!
The easiest and fastest way is by taking a ferry from Hong Kong – Macau Ferry Terminal in Sheung Wan - the journey takes under an hour. The route it’s operated by two companies and depending where you want to start your day in Macau you can choose between these two:
• TurboJET (red ferry) – terminating in Macau Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal (close to Ruins of St. Paul’s, Senado Square and Macau Tower)
• Cotai Water Jet (blue ferry) – terminating in Macau Taipa Ferry Terminal (close to the Cotai Strip, The Venetian, The Parisian, ‘House of Dancing Water’ show)
Once you are in Macau, you can use free shuttles operating between all main hotels and ferry terminals.

We had an amazing vacation in Macau. The weather is perfect for long walks and sightseeing. There were a lot of street food tasting and we had a chance to eat at a local Macanese restaurant. Our favorites are the Pork Chop Buns, Portuguese Egg Tarts and Pearl Milk Shakes (Taro). We can literally eat it over and over again.

MACAU | Monte Fort (大炮台)
The Fortaleza occupies an area of roughly 8,000 square metres. 32 muzzle-loading cannons were placed around the fort's walls and the two corners of the southeastern fort wall have small watchtowers. The fort proved crucial in successfully holding off the attempted Dutch invasion of Macau in 1622.

HD Macau Fortaleza do Monte & View of the City at Night Fortress of Our Lady of the Mount 大炮台
Here is a video of Fortaleza do Monte (Portuguese for Mount Fortress, also Monte Forte, officially Fortaleza de Nossa Senhora do Monte de São Paulo, in English: Fortress of Our Lady of the Mount of St. Paul; Chinese: 大炮台) in Macau. This fort offers great views of the entire city of Macau. At the end of the video 5:10 you will see a lighthouse on another hill in Macau.
Built by the Jesuits, from 1617 to 1626, this was the Portuguese colony of Macau's (in the People's Republic of China) principal military defense structure and was crucial in successfully holding off the attempted Dutch invasion of Macau in 1622.
It was built on top of Mount Hill, strategically located in the centre of the Macau Peninsula, watching over the city in all directions.
The fortress is in the shape of an irregular trapezoid that covers an area of approximately 8000 square metres. In the past, it was equipped with cannons, military barracks, wells and an arsenal that held sufficient ammunition and supplies to endure a siege lasting two years.
The walls are 3.7 metres wide at the base, 9 metres high narrowing upwards to 2.7 metres wide at the top. The parapets were crenulated for the installation of 32 cannons and the two corners of the southeast wall have watchtowers. There are no weapons facing mainland China, indicating that the fortress was only built for defence against attacks from the sea. In 1965 a weather observatory was installed at the site and the fortress was demilitarized in 1976. In 1998 the Museum of Macau was installed at the site.
The tree covered park at the top of the fort has a panaromic view of the mainland area of Macau. It is now part of the Historic Centre of Macau, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
