Revised:

I travelled to Macau in December 2015. Before I stared travelling, I have already made a plan. If I go to Macau by airplane directly, the air/flight ticket and hotel costs are very expensive, so I decided to visit Zhuhai by plane first. I also booked Zhuhai’s homestay on Airbnb.

I arrived at the Zhuhai homestay at 1:00 pm on the first day. I felt a little bit tired, so I just took a rest in the afternoon. By the way, I loved the homestay very much. It’s so beautiful and warm and the host/owner was kind to me.

The second day, I got up early and entered Macau through Gongbei. Then, I went to Paul’s Cathedral which is one of the iconic architectures in Macau. I also walked around nearby and took some photos.

I had Pork steak bun with pineapple for lunch near St. Lorenzo’s Church.

The Third day, I visited Venetian Hotel and Macau Casino, I just had a look, so I did not gamble. In the afternoon, I went to the shopping mall and bought a lot of cosmetics and skin care products.

On the fourth day, I came back to Shanghai from Zhuhai. I enjoyed this trip very much.
