via TurboJet - Macau to Hong Kong: Macau Terminal Ferry/Outer Harbour Terminal
On my travel to Hong Kong, I took a side trip to Macau. The city is a Special Administrative Region (SAR) similar to Hong Kong under the People's Republic of China. It's known as the Las Vegas of Asia with hotel and casinos like the Venetian and Wynn. Lot...

HK - Macau Ferry Terminal: Maxim's
Maxim's is a popular restaurant group with various branches throughout Hong Kong. This one was a fast serve version. One thing you notice is the roast duck, BBQ pork, and chicken: You pick from a preset menu and pay. Then you take a ticket to the counter ...
Incredibe journey you had there
Looks like a nice trip indeed! Now...lets shoot some canons for the BIG win in Macau, haha. Nice place, yes Enjoy Bent ...
Nice composition on that shot...
What do you think of that Grand Lisboa? Pretty interesting building. -MW
Actually
I thought the building looked quite scary :-) Much, much taller than I have imagined and with "horns" - like the Devil himself, haha. But we newer entered it anyway, simply no time. Macau itself was an interesting experience - quite crowded at times can I...
that's a lot of people!
We went at the end of February so it was not as crowded as when you went. IMO the food was really good there, did you enjoy the restaurants in Macau? -MW
Let me share more on behalf of Bent.
Bent and his wife came to Thailand and together we all went to Hong Kong for a few days before they returned home. Our Macau visit was a day trip from Hong Kong (on exactly New Year Day!) so we had maybe only 10 hours there. We had mostly street food beca...
Great capture!
I'm sure the time you guys went it was really festive. Did they do a nice fireworks show to start the New Year? -MW
Not sure about Macau. I believe they do. But this is the fireworks display...
...in Hong Kong the night before we head out to Macau. The view was amazing from Renaissance Hotel here we stayed. The UFO like shadow you see is the HKCEC. Ruckdee ...
Ahh, that one :-)
It was pure luck to get that image, but two things stood out very clearly - the girl - and the guy in front of me carefully protecting his left hand valuables from the crowd, haha Cheers, Bent
Cool photo of the Grand Lisboa
And cool canon too! I visited the Grand Lisboa last year. Reminds me of the casinos in Reno, NV. Regards, ED-209
Macau trip
Looks like you had fun visiting Macau. I still think it doesn't come close to being Vegas because the casinos are spread out. Plus it's a different feel. Vegas is about entertainment, nightlife and gambling, IMO Macau is purely gambling. I wonder what wil...
re: trip
Not sure how it will affect them but it was quite busy when we where there. What I did noticethat was different between Vegas and Macau were the atmosphere. People in Vegas seemed to enjoy themselves more when gambling than those in Macau who looked like ...
I was in Macau about 17 years ago.
This was before the Hotel / Casino boom. I kind of liked the way it was, the Hotel Lisbo was great and the food was amazing. I still want to go back and see all the changes. At lease the cannon is still there. Best, JerryW
Really different.
Great lighting. It is a shame they made it look so much like Vegas. I still want to visit again. JerryW
Did you visit the Hotel Lisboa?
When I returned home I remember reading an article in the WSJ that spoke about the "hit men never miss" amp;dat=19980531&id=LchGAAAAIBAJ&sjid=ZPgMAAAAIBAJ&pg=1333,6982169 I also remember seeing many beautiful women walking around the perimeter...
