Macau City

To Macau City. On the 15th August 2015, Fred & Robyn, along with our fellow Razza Images Hong Kong Tour, enjoyed a comfortable 60 minute ferry ride from Hong Kong to Macau for a private day tour of Macau.

Macau is a former Portuguese Colony and is the oldest European settlement in the Orient. Today however, it’s more famous for its casinos which rival Las Vegas and its Portuguese Egg Tarts.

After arriving in Macau, we boarded our bus and headed into the city. Along the way we saw the Statue of Kum Iam (also known as the Goddess of Mercy). This intriguing statue is made of bronze, is 20 metres high and is situated on a small man-made island.

We also visited the Macau Tower, which stands 338 metres in height which just manages to pip the Eiffel Tower at 324 metres. Some of our group went up to the observation deck located at the top of the tower where visitors can either do a Skywalk on the outside of the tower or bungee jump from it – or alternatively just watch others doing these activities. Neither he Skywalk nor the Bungee Jump are for the faint hearted. As neither Fred nor Robyn are faint hearted, we just watched!
