Coming to Macau is the real city work! Can't stop walking

Macau Peninsula Old Town We smoothly entered the border from Hengqin Port at eight o'clock, it's not a weekend or a holiday, so there are very few people! We took a taxi directly from the port to the Ruins of St. Paul for 100💰 🏃‍♀️The itinerary is as follows 1. The Ruins of St. Paul has a manageable crowd around nine o'clock, and you need to queue for the wall overhead shooting position👭 2. To be honest, the Big Cannon Fort is not very interesting, it's just a small park, just walked around next to the Ruins of St. Paul～ 3. There is a long, long slope coming out of the Big Cannon Fort, I think this road is quite suitable for walking and taking pictures, very characteristic of Macau! 4. Eat beef offal on Da Tang Lane Beef Offal Street, completely blind bought a shop called Xiang Ji Beef Offal, very delicious! I don't have a heavy taste, so I really like this one, this one is quite clean, the selling aunt is also very enthusiastic, added fish balls 35💰 5. Love Lane, Feng Tang New Street, the small houses in these two places are all colored🌈, the photos are very good, must go!! 6. Rose Virgin Mary Church, because I was wearing a short skirt that day, I didn't go inside, the outside looks like a beautiful Baroque building, take pictures⛪️ 7. Dong Wang Yang New Street, National Geographic same style check-in position, experience the collision of luxury and market, seeing it with your own eyes will really feel shocked🇲🇴 8. Fisherman's Wharf, go to see the sunset in the evening when the weather is good, the light and shadow are sprinkled on the ancient Roman Colosseum and marble columns, sitting quietly for a while can soothe the fatigue of a day's walk🍹 There are various good shops to visit and eat along the way, continue writing in the next chapter!

Gorgeous Morning Views of Mount Fortress

Right across from the Ruins of St. Paul is Mount Fortress and the surrounding park area. Like the ruins, it's better to get there early to avoid the crowds. You can easily spend less than an hour talking a walk around the park and taking pictures of this historic fortress. Keep an eye out for the local cats, as a lot of them have made this historical sight their little playground. The ones I ran into were pretty shy, so I spent a few moments smiling at how cute they were and left them alone. Overall, this was a great visit to start the rest of my day. Check it out if you're a fellow early bird like I am.#travel #macau #macautravel #historicalsights #macao #chinatravel

Grand Lisboa took a group photo, and the view of Fortress Mountain was also good!

In fact, this wonderful building, Grand Lisboa, can be seen in many places in Macau. You don’t need to find exactly the same internet celebrity filming location. After arriving at the Ruins of St. Paul’s, climb up the small hill on the right to the Fortress. The viewing angles are also good. • There are toilets and a small shop at the entrance, and there is a Macau Museum on the top platform. Opposite the museum is the city wall surrounded by forts, which are former military lookouts. I remember in Monaco, Salzburg and Mauritius also has a similar Fortress Hill. Anyway, the ancient cities used to have Fortress Hill to watch out and avoid enemy invasion. Now they have become scenic sites or parks. • In addition to the Grand Lisboa Hotel, you can also see a little bit of the Macau Tower. It is a bit tiring when climbing, and it is quite comfortable when the wind blows~

The Fort with a View!

Macau city center: Monte Fort is a wonderful place to get a unique view of Macau. Located just four minutes east of the famous Saint Paul's ruins, this forte offers 360 panoramic views of the entire city. Tip: Get your camera very low down beside a canon to get a unique photographic perspective looking towards the magnificent Grand Lisboa. Tip 2: Zoom your camera in to shoot the colourful apartment buildings. #macau

There is a large fort in Macau, built in 1616. It is one of the oldest western-style fortification groups in China. It was built to protect the church's priests from pirates. It was built by the church and later by the Portuguese. The government used military defensive positions and successfully resisted the Dutch invasion in 1662. Macau has never had a war on the mainland, so the fort has become the core of the Macau defense system. In Macau, although it is a tourist city, it is totally unpopular and buzzing in the mainland tourist cities, and there is no avant-garde in the coastal emerging cities. She is quiet most of the time, just like a lady quietly. Sitting on the shore of the sea, not showing off, not swaying, a sea breeze blowing Buddha, soaring her fragrant fragrance to the Quartet.

The Macau Fort is a place with a very historical story. Like the Ruins of St. Paul, the Macau Fort is one of the World Heritage Sites. The turret is on the mountain, so if you want to arrive, you have to climb a mountain road. It used to be a very important military center of gravity. It was originally designed to protect the St. Paul's Church (St. Paul's Church), so we walked into the door of the fort. We can first see some sculptures of the Catholic Church. The turret has experienced nearly 400 years of history, and there are many historic and historical buildings on the stage. There are still cannons reserved, and it is worth visiting.

Climb up the Macau Fort, the commanding heights of the city, you will feel the scenery under the eyes at a glance. The vision is unparalleled, and the colorful architecture of Macau is in sight. This is the best place to overlook the panoramic view of Macau in these old buildings, there will be sex buildings built in the cracks. Not only can you see a lot of landmark Macao buildings, but you can also see the famous Macau Tower in the distance. The most striking of these buildings is the Grand Lisboa Hotel, which is like a feather that spreads around and is one of the 20 most iconic buildings in the world.

The Macau Fortress is part of the oldest surviving Western-style fort building complex in China. It used to be the centre of military defence facilities. It is now part of the historic city of Macau and is a famous tourist attraction. The large artillery platform of Macau is located on the side of the Dabanba archway. The artillery platform was built during the Ming Shenzong period in 1616. It was owned by the church and was built to protect the St. Paul's clerics. It was used to defend against pirates and then turned into a military facility area. There are giant steel guns around the fort. Although the ancient artillery has lost its military role, it has become an ancient cultural relic and historical witness of Macao. The large turret covers an area of about 10,000 square meters. It was originally the memorial platform of the Jesuit Church of St. Paul (the predecessor of the Ruins of St. Paul), which protected the Jesuit industry in Macao and was later converted into a large castle fort by the Australian and Portuguese governments. The construction of the Grand Fortress lasted 10 years and was completed in 1626.

A magnificent tapestry woven with history and mountains.

The Macau Fortress is located at the highest point of the city, standing majestically and witnessing the vicissitudes and glory of hundreds of years. The ancient walls and cannons, weathered by time, still retain their resilience and majesty, as if telling the story of defending Macau in the past. Climbing up to the fortress, one can enjoy a panoramic view of the city and the bay, especially enchanting at sunset, making it hard to leave. The museum inside the fortress is an excellent place to delve into the history of Macau, where culture and scenery blend, touching the depths of the soul. The fortress is a must-visit for history enthusiasts and travel adventurers, offering a journey through time awaiting every visitor.

Journey to the Fortress of Time

Climbing up to the Fortress of Time feels like stepping into a historical highland. Surrounded by lush trees and weathered stone walls, this ancient fort, which has witnessed centuries of history, seems to silently guard Macau's past and present. As you ascend the winding stone steps, a refreshing breeze greets you, carrying memories of ancient battles and prosperity. The cannons around the fortress have long been dormant, but their iron bodies still exude an indomitable spirit. Standing among them, I feel an unspoken strength, as if telling the story of resilience in defending the homeland. From this vantage point, the panoramic view of Macau unfolds before your eyes, with distant skyscrapers and nearby old streets weaving a unique urban tapestry. The blend of the ancient and the modern creates a distinctive charm. The Fortress of Time is not just a historical relic but also a symbol of spirit. Here, time seems to stand still, allowing one to reflect on the past, cherish the present, and look forward to the future. This visit is serene and profound, like a poem narrating history.

Monte Fort: A witness to history.

Address: Praceta do Museu de Macau, Santo António, Macau. Located on a hillside on the Macau Peninsula, Monte Fort is surrounded by lush greenery. It was a coastal defense system in Macau in the 16th century. After centuries of trials and tribulations, Monte Fort has seen its fair share of glory and destruction. It was once home to the famous St. Paul's College, but a devastating fire destroyed almost all the buildings on the fort. War is cruel. The fort is an irregular quadrilateral, with four corners forming bastions. The walls are about 9 meters high and can accommodate more than 30 cannons, which can resist attacks from all directions. Today, Monte Fort has become a popular tourist destination. There is a large green space in front of it, where you can overlook the panoramic view of Macau.

The Monte Fort - A Must-Visit World Heritage Site in Macau

With a history spanning several hundred years, the Monte Fort is a famous tourist attraction in Macau. Visitors who go to the Ruins of St. Paul's must also visit the Monte Fort. The Monte Fort Park consists of a lawn adjacent to the Ruins of St. Paul's, the Fort Garden, walking trails surrounding the Fort Garden, the Fort Corridor, and the Macau Museum. Apart from the Fort Garden and the Macau Museum, the Fort Park is open 24 hours. Fort Garden opening hours: 7:00–19:00, free admission.

Walking around the Macau Peninsula·Citywalk is suitable for any old town area

Enjoy walking on the streets of Macau Feel the old Portuguese style . 1⃣️Guia New Street Following the classic camera positions taken by National Geographic magazine, it is recommended to shoot with a telephoto lens of 70-200/400 or above. The classic angle of the Grand Lisboa is located in Guia New Street. 2⃣️Fort Park We walked up Guia Incline Road all the way to Battery Park. At sunset, the sun set in the west and shone golden light on the outer wall of the Grand Lisboa. The bench is a must-have shooting prop here. There are many people queuing up to take photos. It is recommended to arrive at 4:30 pm to take more photos. 3⃣️Near Guia After the fort goes down the mountain, there are many criss-crossing streets.

Macau Day Trip Guide | Prepare in advance for a smooth journey

❗Important Tip: Be sure to prepare a power bank! Be sure to prepare a power bank! Be sure to prepare a power bank!!! 🥰Pre-trip Preparation 1️⃣Fill out the 'Customs Passenger Fingertip Service' health declaration, valid for 24 hours. 2️⃣Activate international roaming. 3️⃣Prepare cash, which can be exchanged for Hong Kong dollars or Macanese pataca at the port. I exchanged 200 pataca for taking the bus (there are also bus staff who can make change for you), no need to exchange if not taking the bus. WeChat and Alipay are accepted at most merchants, it is recommended to use Alipay for automatic currency conversion. 4️⃣Carry your ID card and Hong Kong and Macau pass; only the Hong Kong and Macau pass is needed for crossing the border, while the ID card is needed for currency exchange. 🥰My Mode of Travel 【Self-driving】Depart from Zhuhai Hengqin at 7:30 in the morning, navigate directly to the Hengqin Port parking lot (parking fee is about 50 yuan). The process of entering and exiting Hengqin Port is very smooth. After clearing customs, go up the escalator on the left hand side, and queue at the end to take the shuttle bus. 🚌Shuttle Bus Route: Passes through The Parisian, The Venetian, and The Londoner hotels, with the destination station chosen based on your needs. These three attractions are very close to each other, with multiple shopping malls for leisure and shopping. I chose The Venetian as my main destination. Note: The first shuttle bus starts at 9:30 am, if you need to arrive early, consider taking a taxi (it is recommended to pay in Macanese pataca, as paying in RMB will not get you a favorable exchange rate) 🥰Sightseeing Route: Hengqin ➡️ The Venetian ➡️ Rua do Cunha ➡️ Ruins of St. Paul's ➡️ Monte Fort ➡️ New Yaohan ➡️ Nam Van Lake. Nam Van Lake is a tranquil place, sitting and enjoying the breeze is very pleasant. 🥰Food Recommendations: On Rua do Cunha, there's Lao Day beef offal, Tai Lei Loi Kei pork chop bun, Mok Yi Kei durian ice cream, Cheung Chau glutinous rice dumplings (optional, as they are filling and may reduce the experience of tasting other foods), Ma Jiao Tea Stall, and Secolo cafe. If you need to buy souvenirs, I recommend Koi Kei's egg rolls, they are very delicious! 🥰Return Route: The shuttle bus may not be timely, and you need to return to The Venetian station to wait for it, so it's better to take the 25B bus back (6 Macanese pataca), which is convenient and fast. Precautions⚠️ You can fully explore all the attractions on the route in one day, with time to spare. Note that phone battery is very important, so please be sure to carry a power bank, as some areas do not have power bank rental services, and friends who take photos should pay attention.

Monte Fort

Monte Fort, also known as Fortaleza do Monte, Central Fort, or Fortaleza de São Paulo, is located beside the Ruins of St. Paul's and is one of the major historical attractions in Macau, China. Monte Fort was built in 1616 during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of Ming, originally owned by the church to protect the clergy inside St. Paul's Church from pirates, and later converted into a military facility area. Atop the fort, there is a vast expanse of open space with lush green grass; towering ancient trees thrive; and gigantic steel cannons stand imposingly. There are also many historical relics and architectural structures on the fort, such as the ancient tower, which was one of the sites of the Jesuit society. The Southern European-style bungalow built in the center of the open space serves as the office for the meteorological bureau.
