[2025 Macau Stay] Travel Guide for MGM Macau (Updated Jan)

Starting at 8 AM from Gongbei Port to Macau First Stop: Check-in at the Ruins of St. Paul's, below is Souvenir Street, and next to it is Love Lane. Stroll around and eat here until noon. Second Stop: Check-in at Grand Lisboa on Dongyang Street. Be careful not to obstruct traffic, or you may be fined. Third Stop: Go to Wynn to watch the Tree of Prosperity show. Fourth Stop: Go to MGM to get free milk tea and egg tarts (free because someone has already paid). Fifth Stop: Head to Wynn Palace, where there are free cable cars and fountains at the entrance. You can experience or take photos. Sixth Stop: Go to Rua do Cunha, a famous snack street in Macau. Seventh Stop: Walk one kilometer to The Venetian. You must visit the European Town on the second floor. The Parisian, The Venetian, and The Londoner are connected. The night view is much better than during the day, so it's recommended to leave this itinerary for the end. After a day of fun, you can take the Fortune Shuttle to the Border Gate and return to Zhuhai.

Day 1: Taipa Island Route: 🚉 Hengqin Port Entry (We stayed near Zhuhai Airport on the first day, the light rail takes 20 minutes to Hengqin Port, which is very fast and less crowded compared to Gongbei Port) ➡️ Galaxy ➡️ Rua do Cunha ➡️ The Parisian ➡️ The Londoner ➡️ The Venetian ➡️ Return to Port 🥣 Andrew's Egg Tart / Tiger Sugar Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea / Ze Xian Ji Egg Waffle / Mango Pomelo Sago ✅ To be precise, we only played for half a day on the first day. Each place is very close to each other, and it's totally fine to choose bus + walking. Rua do Cunha has many snacks and souvenirs, you can eat anything without disappointment. I regret not having a 1TB stomach. It is recommended to go to The Parisian for photos before it gets dark, and check in at The Londoner at night 📸. Finally, due to lack of time, we didn't go to Wynn Palace and City of Dreams, leaving something to look forward to for the next visit. Day 2: Macau Peninsula Route: 🚗 Gongbei Port Entry (Before entering, go to the nearby Gongbei Police Station Smart Service Hall for visa renewal, it gets a bit crowded at noon) ➡️ Grand Lisboa ➡️ Ruins of St. Paul's (Check in at a nearby Korean-style photo studio) ➡️ Rua da Felicidade (A dopamine-filled alley, great for photos) ➡️ Rua Nova do Monte ➡️ MGM Macau (Free pearl milk tea and snacks) ➡️ Wynn Macau (Watch the free Tree of Prosperity show) 🥣 Found a random cafe near the hotel, filled with many elderly people and students. Ordered pork chop bun / chicken coconut milk noodles / curry beef tendon rice, each dish was absolutely delicious and portions were generous. 🏨 Accommodation: Jinjiang Inn Macau Border Gate Hotel (Very close to Gongbei Port and Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Port, the environment and facilities are very new, high cost performance) ✅ Compared to the glitz and glamour of Taipa Island, Macau Peninsula has a more rustic and down-to-earth vibe, and the lifestyle is very similar to the mainland. The local residents we met, such as the aunties in the shops and the grandpas we met at the bus stops, were all very friendly and tried their best to communicate in Mandarin. There is no sense of exclusion at all. I really love the local customs and culture of Macau.

1️⃣ Arrive at the Gongbei Port of Entry After crossing the border, there are free shuttles at the entrance. When we got there around ten o'clock, there were fewer people heading to The Venetian, so we went there first. 2️⃣ We spent about an hour at The Venetian and then followed the navigation to walk for a few minutes to The Londoner and The Parisian, which are all very close to each other. 3️⃣ After checking these places off our list, I followed the guide and walked for about fifteen minutes from The Londoner to Rua do Cunha for lunch. 4️⃣ After a satisfying meal, we walked for about twenty minutes to Wynn Palace. Wynn Palace offers a free cable car ride at four in the afternoon, but we arrived early and didn't have time to wait as we were rushing to the next spot. 5️⃣ Then we went from Wynn Palace to MGM, where there is free afternoon tea inside. After that, you can follow the navigation to walk to the new check-in spot, and then all the way to the Ruins of St. Paul's, finally heading back to the port. 🔴 Summary of the one-day tour route: Enter through the port —— to The Venetian —— walk to The Parisian and The Londoner —— walk to Rua do Cunha —— walk to Wynn Palace —— to MGM —— walk to the Ruins of St. Paul's —— walk to Ponte 16 and back to the port. 🟥 We returned to the port around six in the evening. If you have enough time, you can stroll around at your leisure.

A family went on a trip to Zhuhai, mainly to take the kids to Chimelong in Zhuhai, and incidentally to take the elderly father to check in more cities. The strategy was made because Macau is very close, so they took a day to cross the border at Hengqin and completed the Macau city walk. Who is Macau suitable for? To put it simply: people who are willing to spend money. Macau is not big, and just a city walk for checking in and taking photos can be completed in 1-2 days. Compared to Hong Kong, I think it is more orderly, lively but not chaotic, prosperous, but also well-planned. If you are a budget traveler like me, then in Macau you can spend a whole day without spending a penny. The airport, ports, and Macau Tower have free shuttle buses from various major hotels, no credentials needed, just get on the bus. There is usually a bus every 15-20 minutes. Grand Lisboa, Wynn Macau (Wynn Palace), and MGM (Lion MGM) on the Macau Peninsula and Taipa offer free shuttle services, and then the major hotels are not far from each other, basically within walking distance, and close to the main attractions. All entertainment venues offer free snacks and drinks, as long as you are of age, you can come and go freely, and fill your stomach without spending a penny. Since you can play for a whole day without spending a penny, why do I still say Macau is suitable for people who are willing to spend money? Firstly, Macau is very small, the Ruins of St. Paul's, the Monte Fort, museums, and wandering through the streets, a standard city walk can be completed in 2-3 hours. Secondly, if you look at everyone's check-in photos, they are basically at the Ruins of St. Paul's, Grand Lisboa Hotel, and various major hotels. So, apart from the standard city walk, another theme of check-ins in Macau is the hotels. The hotels have free performances every hour, but these performances are really just for the sake of it, and not worth buying a plane ticket for a special trip. The cable car, the tower, and various hotel scenes are also very nice, but again not worth a special trip just for a check-in, though they are a good choice if you're passing by. The free snacks and drinks are very considerate, and some taste quite good, but they are more suitable for sitting down for afternoon tea to enjoy the hotel scenery after a tiring walk. As for the main meals, relying on these freebies can be too much and too sweet. If you come to Macau and don't go to casinos or buy luxury goods, and taking trendy photos for check-ins is not your main theme, then half the fun of Macau will be lost. In summary, Macau is great, but whether it is suitable for a few days of play still depends on where your interests lie.

An average of twenty thousand steps a day, the streets are perfect for a citywalk in Macau!! It just so happened to be the Spring Festival holiday, and it was super crowded. Two days are enough for the Macau Peninsula and Taipa. 🔸Day1 Arrived at the hotel at noon but couldn't check in yet, usually after 3 pm. Stored the luggage and went to the nearby Fisherman's Wharf (picture 2) and had a brief visit to the Sands. It was about time to get the room card. In the afternoon, took a taxi to Guia Lighthouse (picture 6, the scenery is good both halfway up the hill and at the top) - walked down to Guia Hill Street - Ruins of St. Paul's - Love Lane - Church of St. Dominic - Municipal Affairs Bureau Building (picture 7) - San Ma Lo (many gold shops) - Grand Lisboa - Old Wynn (pictures 14, 15, the Money Tree performance is worth seeing, there's one every hour) - MGM Peninsula 🔸Day2 Set off at noon, took bus 28a from the hotel next to Amizade Road to Rua do Cunha station (6 mop/person, cash only, during the Spring Festival there are route adjustments, got off one stop early) - Rua do Cunha (pictures 9, 10) - Galaxy (has a complete range of jewelry brands, the only hw in Macau is here) - Venetian (picture 17, didn't take the gondola as it was too crowded, mainly trendy brands here) - Four Seasons (also has a good range of luxury brands) - Parisian (picture 34, the stairs next to it are great for photos!!) - Londoner (picture 5) - MGM Cotai - Wynn Palace (pictures 1, 12, 13, the fountain show is stunning, changes with the music) Because I had to go back to Galaxy to use the consumption voucher, I finally took the light rail from Cotai East Station to Pai Kok Station, just in time to see the beautiful night view of Macau again🌃 🔹tips: 1. You don't need to exchange too much cash, besides taking the bus and some snack shops, you can mostly pay with your phone 🎲 exchanged with Hong Kong dollars. 2. If you're buying souvenirs, there's no need to buy them too early. There are shops not only at attractions but also in many other places, otherwise, you'll have to carry them around which is inconvenient. 3. The Four Seasons, Venetian, Parisian, and Londoner hotels all have corridors that interconnect, pay attention to the signs or ask the staff. 4. There's no need to queue at very popular shops; there are many authentic snack shops, make sure to leave time to go where you want. 5. For accommodation, it's recommended to stay near a major location. I was going to HK later, so I stayed near the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal. There are free shuttle bus stops at various hotels that you can take. On the last night, I took the shuttle bus from Galaxy to the ferry terminal and walked 5 minutes to the hotel. Great food, shopping, and sightseeing, will come again!!

【Departure and Crossing the Border】Plan your Macau travel guide well, choose to cross the border at Zhuhai Qingmao Port, where the flow of people is relatively small, saving time and effort. 【Tour Route】 After coming out of Qingmao Port, walk a few hundred meters to reach the No. 12 bus stop, take the bus to the Ruins of St. Paul. Avoid the queue for the hotel shuttle bus, save time and effort! The bus fare is only 3 yuan, and there are not many people. Upon arriving at the Ruins of St. Paul, you can stroll to the Casa Garden and the pink house for photos📸. Then, go to the Grand Lisboa to enjoy free milk tea and pomegranate juice, which is really good! Then go to MGM to taste free dim sum and fresh milk, and enjoy the food! The main thing is to get a good deal🐑 In the afternoon, take the bus to Taipa (the newer area). The old area retains many residential buildings and down-to-earth restaurants, which are good value for money. In Taipa, it's like being in a world of glitz and glamour! The afternoon sun is just right, first go to 【Parisian】 to check in the Eiffel Tower, and find the best shooting position. Then go to the Londoner and stroll around the British-style mall. As it gets dark, the whole Taipa is brightly lit, and it's too stunning! At this time, go to the Venetian, cross the sky bridge, and immerse yourself in the gorgeous night✨ 【Do you need to exchange MOP】Not at all!! Use HKD to cover all expenses. The experience of exchange rate loss can be avoided! 【Bus】Download the m-pay app! The bus payment method used by locals, convenient and affordable. Remember to use m-pay, it only costs 3 yuan to get off the bus. Convenient mpay recharge service can also be done in convenience stores. Some🐟 mall can also provide recharge. 【Exit】Take the No. 8 bus from near the Venetian to the Hengqin Port for exit. Safe and convenient!😊🌟🌆

While walking in Macau city walk Unexpectedly discovered this Christmas tree in the palace It's just like the life of drunkenness in the movie It's not that you can't afford to go abroad, and Macau is more cost-effective Address🗺️ | MGM Hotel on the Macau Peninsula Transportation🚕 | You can take the free MGM fortune car in Taipa directly 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙮 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙮 Travel guide 1️⃣This place is relatively niche and few people know that you can go during the day when there are fewer people 2️⃣Both the first and second floors can be photographed, remember to bring a wide angle and telephoto 3️⃣The best position is in the middle of the atrium on the second floor for shooting, basically no one here, you can also go up the stairs in the palace with a telephoto, very out of the picture 4️⃣After taking the photo, remember to go to the casino inside to get a free cup of milk tea🧋Someone has already paid for you, don't be shy! Haha Tickets🎫 | Free check-in, free desserts and drinks

This is the first time to go abroad with my family after the epidemic, and it is also the first time to use the flight-and-win method. Booking air tickets and hotels is easy and relatively cheap. #familytravel This time I flew with StarLux Airline. The new aircraft has new equipment and the screen is easy to operate. The Macau Hotel District is simply a world expo. The buildings of several countries are displayed in the same place, which makes people feel fresh and interesting. The hotels are connected to each other, or you can go to another hotel through the hotel. I particularly recommend the pearl milk at the MGM Hotel. It is really delicious. You must try it. We stayed at the Lisboa Hotel. The hotel’s free shuttle bus saved a lot of transportation costs. To get to Ruins of St. Paul’s, you can take the Lisboa Hotel, Wynn Hotel or MGM Hotel shuttle bus. To get to Guanye Street, you can take the shuttle bus. Walk towards the Venetian Hotel. We also took a bus to see the cityscape of Macau, and then returned to the Lisboa Hotel to take the shuttle bus back to the Lisboa Hotel. Maybe it’s a holiday, so Guanye Street and Ruins of St. Paul’s are crowded, and you have to queue up for famous delicacies. There are also many people in the food court of the Venetian Hotel. You have to avoid meal times to get a seat. Spending in hotels and tourist areas is not cheap. . It is best to exchange some Macau Pataca first, so that you can use it when you go out to eat or shop on the same day, so you don’t have to go to banks to exchange. Hotels can only exchange Hong Kong dollars, which is universal in Macau. The Hotel Lisboa I stayed at this time was very comfortable. The rooms were large and clean. The hotel had its own fragrance, and there were also department stores and restaurants. If you want to go abroad for a little while and don’t have much time, you can choose to relax in Macau.

This bustling café offers mouth-watering combination of contemporary flights of fancy and time-honored classics. Favorites include Pastry Bar’s signature Strawberry Vanilla Chiffon, the Hazelnut and Milk Chocolate Cake and of course, an all-day breakfast menu. Those seeking something more savory can choose from refreshing salads, hearty sandwiches and pasta dishes. The Pastry Bar is a sensory delight in every respect. Its rich and playful use of color is as bright and alluring as the confectionary and sweets on display. An inviting, open layout ensures guests a carefree escape from daily life with a casually elegant dining experience. Whether starting your day with a coffee or espresso, handcrafted by our skilled baristas, or enjoying a glass of wine after a busy day of meetings around town, Pastry Bar is the perfect destination for all occasions. Located inside MGM Hotel Macau. Opens daily at 11am-8pm. #foodie #goodfoods #

It has City Cinema, Carrefour Hypermarket, Food court with fine dining & fast food, Electronics and variety of International branded shops. It has what any best mall has to have! MGM has created a brand for itself. People go there for general shopping, entertainment and simply to spend time with family members or friends. There is an Omantel office here which is open till late evening and hence helpful for office-goers to attend to their personal work in the evening. Though there is huge car parking available at multi-levels, maneuverability is really painful! In the evening time, there are funny games arranged for visitors - adults as well as children. This place is most visited by affluent locals and western expats as compared to Indian expats in Muscat. However, a must see place!

This trip to the MGM hotel is still the scene of Fan Bingbing's movie Jedi escape! The place where my baby and the baby are photographed is the very famous location of the movie. MGMs Sky Curtain Square has a very strong ancient European style, and also adds Portuguese design elements, very dreamy! ! This huge water canopy aquarium is super amazing! It seems that there will be a princess appearing at any time, and there is a love letter from Seattle in Beijing. It is also here to shoot here. In short, it is a good place for a movie star to take pictures! Come to Macau, you must come.

I have experienced a lot of hotels, but the lobby of this hotel is still deeply shocked by the lobby of this hotel. This is the most imaginative design I have ever seen. The design is very bold, very avant-garde and very innovative. The whole environment is like being in a fairy forest. Huge flowers, huge butterflies, form a fairy-tale world, the entire lobby is covered with glass, it is extraordinarily bright, and the light is very abundant. The building was designed to image a castle. It was surrounded by huge exotic flowers and grasses, and it suddenly became a villain in a fairy tale.

Teamlab, which swept the world, heard that it has arrived in several Chinese cities. This art exhibition with excellent reputation is really not too much for three times. Teamlab art exhibition, awakening urban people to feel the nature again. Through art to explore the relationship between man and nature, digital technology liberates art from material. Responsible travel tips 1teamlab is very well-known and well-received. It is basically lined up on weekends and weekdays. It is recommended to take a vacation and go on vacation; 2 can't go back in the inside, so remember No part has taken enough to go; 3 put on white clothes to shoot, the effect will be better! More Macau travel information, welcome to follow my Trip for details.

The MGM Macau Museum is currently showcasing four of the original bronze zodiac heads from the Old Summer Palace: the Monkey, Ox, Tiger, and Pig. These remarkable artifacts will be on display until mid to late January next year, after which replicas will replace them. Notably, the Pig head was acquired by the renowned patriotic entrepreneur Ho Hung Sun and donated to the Poly Art Museum. The exhibition is beautifully curated, featuring specially designed non-reflective glass, making it a perfect spot for photos. The bronze heads, cast in red copper, have withstood the test of time, with every strand of hair visible. Historical Background: These zodiac heads date back to the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty. They were designed by Italian court painter Giuseppe Castiglione, supervised by French missionary Michel Benoist, and crafted by Chinese court artisans. Originally, they were part of the fountain in front of the Haiyantang at the Old Summer Palace, serving both decorative and timekeeping purposes. Each zodiac head would spout water at its corresponding hour, with all twelve spouting simultaneously at noon. Tickets are available at the entrance for on-the-spot collection. #MGMZodiacHeadsExhibition #OldSummerPalaceZodiacHeads #ZodiacHeads #Exhibition #OldSummerPalace

The Macau Poly MGM Museum is currently showcasing four genuine animal head sculptures: the Ox, Tiger, Monkey, and Pig. This museum is renowned for its non-reflective glass displays, allowing visitors to see the intricate details of the sculptures' hair clearly. It's a moving experience, and many hope for the reunion of all twelve animal heads soon. Located at the Macau Poly MGM Museum, not to be confused with the MGM Cotai, visitors can reach the museum by taking the shuttle bus after crossing the border to Macau. Once you arrive, navigate to the "Sky Plaza" for the exhibition. Admission is free, but you need to book your visit in advance. Simply follow these steps: 1. Use the "MGM" public account to select your desired date for reservation. 2. Collect your tickets upon arrival. During holidays, you might need to queue at the service desk due to high demand. #HistoryAndCulture #MustVisitMuseum #ArtExhibition #MGM #YuanmingyuanAnimalHeads #UnforgottenTimes #Macau25thAnniversary #Homecoming

Visiting the Zodiac Heads exhibition in Macau has become a must-see attraction. Located at the MGM Cotai Poly Museum's Blue Ribbon Exhibition, this event is free and offers online reservations or on-site ticket collection. Online reservations can be made up to 14 days in advance, while on-site tickets are available every hour, with 200 tickets on weekdays and 400 on weekends. The exhibition runs from November 2, 2024, to September 2025, with the possibility of genuine artifacts being displayed until late December or mid-January, after which replicas may be used. The exhibition's highlights include the gathering of four major zodiac heads from the Old Summer Palace: the ox, tiger, monkey, and pig. The lighting and scenery are beautifully arranged, allowing visitors to appreciate the artifacts without any glass reflections. The exhibition demonstrates a deep respect and care for these cultural relics. Macau is indeed the right place to witness these masterpieces of Qing Dynasty craftsmanship, with their impressive texture and detail. Pay special attention to the pig head, which has a dent that might have been caused by a robbery. Although these artifacts cannot speak, they hope to convey their stories to you. A little background: these zodiac heads were part of the fountain installation at the Haiyantang in the Old Summer Palace, each spouting water every hour to symbolize the cycle of time. Currently, the whereabouts of the snake, goat, rooster, and dragon heads remain unknown. Why are we so fascinated by the zodiac heads? They carry significant emotional and historical weight for us. The twelve zodiac signs symbolize the cycle of time and the hope for reunion, deeply rooted in our culture. Each zodiac head is a witness to history, scattered overseas, carrying the painful memories of our nation. The return of these heads is like a 'long-lost family member' coming home, causing a sensation and holding profound significance. The snake, goat, and others remain missing, and our wait for 'reunion' continues. Next year is the Year of the Snake. Will the elusive snake head bring us a surprise? Or does its return still require the passage of time? Every gaze upon the zodiac heads is a quest for completeness and reunion, a search for our connection with history, culture, and ourselves. #MGM #ZodiacHeadsExhibition #PolyMGMuseum

Celebrating the 25th anniversary of Macau's return to China, we owe thanks to Pansy Ho for allowing us to view four precious zodiac heads from the Old Summer Palace. Among them, the horse and pig heads were auctioned by Stanley Ho and donated to the Old Summer Palace. 1. Interior Design: Beyond the artifacts, the venue's interior is particularly stunning, featuring Afghan white jade, Amazon green luxury stone, and French red silk marble used as floor tiles. 2. Display Cases: The display cases are made from the finest materials, with lighting and reflections carefully managed to ensure the glass is non-reflective. 3. Background: The backdrop for the four zodiac heads is a digital recreation of the Haiyantang from the Old Summer Palace, blending reality with virtual elements and modern with ancient, creating a strong sense of time travel. While the materials appear expensive, the craftsmanship is even more so. Simply piling up materials does not equate to luxury. Many hotels may look opulent but lack the sophisticated ideology and aesthetic accumulation of old money to truly present luxury. This exhibition is a true visual feast. #MustVisitMuseum #Macau #OldSummerPalaceZodiacHeads #MGM #ZodiacHeads #MGMGrandMacau #PolyMGMArtMuseum

A recent visit to the MGM Museum in Macau left me utterly amazed, with the word 'wealth' echoing in my mind. Located within the MGM building, right next to the MGM Casino, the museum offers free tickets at the entrance despite being fully booked online, allowing visitors to enter as they arrive. The exhibition's theme revolves around the cultural exchange and connections along the Maritime Silk Road, featuring fifteen national first-class cultural relics. Among these are the famous Yuanmingyuan animal heads of the ox, tiger, monkey, and pig, along with exquisite shipwreck ceramics and gold and silver artifacts. Guided tours are available in Cantonese and Mandarin, though the Mandarin commentary is somewhat less fluent. Overall, it's highly recommended! The dome at the entrance symbolizes 'under the dome, all is the sea of stars.' Upon entry, a massive screen plays a stunning one-minute video, each frame worthy of being a gilded postcard. The 'Monsoon' section explores the understanding of ocean currents and navigation by Eastern and Western peoples. The 'Cultural Context' section showcases artifacts from various shipwreck sites, including beautiful export ceramics. The 'Fusion' section is the highlight, featuring silver teapots, gilded incense pouches, and coins illustrating the mutual influence of Eastern and Western cultures, with the Yuanmingyuan animal heads being particularly striking. The final 'Connection' section displays contemporary artworks. Don't forget to look up and down: the columns feature cloisonné enamel brackets, and the floor is inlaid with totems from 12 countries along the Silk Road, showcasing exquisite attention to detail. This is the most opulent museum I've ever seen, resembling a luxury hotel with no unpleasant odors, a pleasant fragrance, a black and gold color scheme that's not gloomy, spacious yet not empty, and large screens everywhere displaying high-quality content with impressive special effects. Most importantly, the glass doesn't reflect at all, allowing for perfect photos of the animal heads (a stark contrast to the National Museum). I wish this technology could be implemented nationwide. #Macau #MGM #CulturalExhibition

Embark on a journey to Macau to witness the awe-inspiring Zodiac Heads of Yuanmingyuan. The four bronze heads are truly breathtaking! Visiting the museum, you'll notice the glass doesn't reflect, offering a clear view of these magnificent pieces. We arrived at the MGM Cotai at 3:30 PM on a Saturday and waited in line for about half an hour. Viewing the Zodiac Heads is time-limited to 3 minutes, but including time for photos and exploring other areas, the entire visit takes about an hour and a half, making efficient use of your time. For those looking to capture photos with the Zodiac Heads, weekdays or early mornings when the museum opens are ideal as there are fewer visitors. However, if you visit during peak times like we did, with time restrictions, focus on taking individual photos of the heads first. After your time is up, stay on the left side of the outer area, find a good spot, and wait for the perfect moment between groups to capture additional shots during the brief 30-second gap. #YuanmingyuanZodiacHeads #MacauMGM #MacauMuseum
