just an ordinary girl in an extraordinary world: Hotel Hopping In Macau

Known as the Las Vegas in Asia, Macau is full of luxurious hotels and lavish casinos. Since we were traveling from Hong Kong, we opted for the easiest way going to Macau by taking the ferry ride.

So, we took the Taipa route through Cotai Water Jet. The travel time was just a quick 60 minutes.

What’s more exciting here in Macau is you get to have a free shuttle ride to and from the nearby hotels. So, take advantage!

Here’s a glimpse of the most famous hotels in Cotai Strip.

1. Galaxy Hotel Macau

The hotel’s boasts its lobby that features Fortune Diamond and Wishing Crystals. When you get near the crystals, it somehow senses your movement and sends a response of good luck and fortune. It is totally amazing!

2. Wynn Macau

This luxury hotel presents a Performance Lake just outside and holds a short water fountain show, synchronized with background music for about 3 minutes. The show is repeated every 15 minutes, though. Too bad we were during daytime so, there was no light effects.
