5 reasons to visit Macau

Macau

Today we are going to Chinese Las Vegas, which bypasses its western brother in terms of gambling revenues.
This is Macau, a special administrative region in China. It consists of the eponymous small peninsula and the islands of Taipa and Koloan. Is Macau population one of the highest in the world? More than 20 thousand people live on 1 km²!

Macau amazes with its pomp and poverty at the same time, with strange mixes of architectural styles: antiquity and too modern solutions.
Why is the Lisbon hotel in the form of an ear of corn, it is in the photo.
In Macau, we went first to see this building, and then compare it with Vegas.
It has its own Strip, a piece of Venice (the Venetian Hotel is the largest casino in the world), Paris with its Eiffel Tower. You can basically not go outside, marching from one casino to another.

Just like in Vegas, here in the hotels there are buffets - you can come and for a fee you have as much as you want. It is on them that we will go over today:

Le Buffet (Hotel Parisian) - lobsters, crabs, tiger prawns., But it is better to book in advance, we could not get in because of the advent of Christmas.
Spotlight Buffet (Hotel Studio city) - there are fewer crabs, but for that there is sushibar.
Urban Kitchen (Hotel JW Marriott) - will appeal to fans of healthy eating.
888 Buffet (Hotel Sands Macao) - a lot of seafood.
Cafe deco (Hotel Venetian) - there is everything from crabs and oysters to pasta, funky sashimi and heaps of desserts.

By the way, unlike Vegas, hotels here are expensive. Yes, everything is expensive here, including hotels: one night in Venice costs like 3 in Vegas, so I had to look for options.

Constantly wondering what it is, Europe or American China. Only in 1999 Macau crossed to China, and before that it was Portuguese territory.

The easiest way to get to Macau is from Hong Kong, either by ferry or by bus along the world's longest sea bridge. Bus tickets ($ 15) are sold directly at the airport, from there they are taken to passport control and another 40 minutes to Macau. A total of 16 hours from the moment of leaving the house.

5 reasons to go to Liaoning, China

Red Panjin Beach, Liaoning, China.


Cool photo, isn't it? Many probably first saw this place? No, this is not another planet.

Red Beach (Panjin Red Beach) - one of the most picturesque natural attractions of China. Located in the Shuantai Hekou Nature Reserve on the Liaohe River, near Panjin City.

Every year, in autumn, the beach turns red, which attracts not only Chinese residents, but also tourists from all over the world. The fact is that the bank of the Liaohe River is littered with Sueda seaweed. But during the growth period, from April to May, they have a green color and only by September, dying, algae gradually acquire a bright red color.

The beach is home to over 260 species of birds and 400 species of wildlife. Due to its rich and diverse ecosystem, the territory was taken under control and included in the list of conservation lands in 1988.

The soil on the Red Beach is clayey and moist, so for the convenience of tourists on the red beaches laid wooden flooring on high legs and viewing platforms.

If you are lucky to be in this place (always with a drone), here are the TOP-5 things that you definitely need to do in this region of China:

1. Go to the national tourist resort "Golden Stones Beach" in the city of Dalian. Ancient stones are scattered along the coast 8 km long. One stone looks like a dinosaur, the other like a hedgehog or hawk, and the third resembles a Beethoven profile.
2. Take a walk around Xinghai Square. This is the largest square in East Asia.
3. Take a break in the amusement park "Hutan".
4. Visit the Dalian Forest Zoo. It is considered the best zoo in China and one of the largest zoos in the world.
5. Spend a day in the Dalian Labor Park. The park is huge. The location provides an opportunity to see the whole city of Dalian. There are many species of birds, among which there are swans and peacocks. ⠀
