A trip to Macau offers a mix of modern glamour, ancient heritage, and scenic beauty.
Nestled on the southeastern coast of China, Macau is an amalgamation of holidays, festivities, and entertainment. This tiny autonomous region is often dubbed "The Las Vegas of Asia" because of its entertainment and gambling activities. To the southern part of Macau lies the epicentre of giant casinos and malls. This is where all the entertainment happens. That's not all. Macau is beyond gambling, shopping and entertainment. Go to the old town, and you will sense a rich cultural history, signifying Portuguese and Chinese culture. In fact, Macau is home to 25 historic sites listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Isn't it amazing that a small region has perfectly blended cultural heritage with modernity and casinos? Well, that's the reason it attracts millions of globetrotters every year. Macau is home to numerous historical gems showcasing a slice of both Portugal and China. You'll find cobbled streets and Western architecture that have been declared World Heritage sites. The ruins of St. Paul's Cathedral is one such example, which is not only a symbol of Macau but is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This magnificent structure was one of the largest churches in Asia in the 17th century and was known as the "Vatican of the East." The intricate designs and the architecture are a beauty to behold.
While Macau has a deep historical significance, its glamorous casinos, malls, and entertainment spots bring millions of travellers every year. Similar to the Las Vegas Strip, where all the casinos are stacked together, Macau's Cotai Strip has the same setting. The strip offers a luxurious gaming experience that rivals Las Vegas. Macau is not only about gaming. It is home to some of the best entertainment shows in the world. It hosts international concerts and world-class entertainment shows, like House of Dancing Water, a show that spellbound travellers with its water-based show, blending artistry with technology.
