4th day

Filed under: Honeymoon — Gary & Christine at 3:08 pm on Friday, January 27, 2006

we were supposed to go to disneyland today. but, we checked with the tour counter located at our hotel lobby and they have a promotion where we pay a full price for the first person and the second person is half price. we did the math and found that the tour is cheaper plus the tour included transfer to disneyland instead of paying hkd 50 per person to ride the mtr. the tour also included other places.

so, we decided to go to macau instead. we took the mtr to tsim sha tsui station and from there, walked to china (hk) ferry terminal to take the ferry (turbojet) from hong kong to macau. the price from hong kong to macau on a weekday for day service is hkd 138 per person. upon arrival at macau around 11:30 am, we were approached by one of those tour operators. and we decided to use a driver to take us around instead of finding the way ourselves since we only have a day.

he first took us to the kun iam ecumenical centre.

from there, we went to macau tower convention & entertainment centre. the height of this tower is 338 metres.

we moved on to penha hill and to a temple before moving on to the lotus square where the large sculpture of “lotus flower in full bloom” was presented by the state council of china in 1999, marks the return of sovereignty of macau.

after that, we went for lunch at a restaurant that serves portuguese food. next on our itinerary was the museum of macau. we paid hkd 15 per person for entry fee.
