1 Day in Macau, China!! (Is THIS Asia's Las Vegas?!)🇲🇴

I post more adventures like this on my second channel! Subscribe if you like here 😁 youtube.com/@josievlogsthings

For those who dont know, Macau surpassed Las Vegas as the biggest gambling centre in the world in 2009 and in 2013 Macau made $45 billion in gambling revenue dwarfing Las Vegas' only $6.5 billion.

The difference is LAS VEGAS has a lot of HOMELESS in the streets, you can not find a single HOMELESS in MACAU, CHINA.

Hello, I just watched your video about visiting ShangHai and I am surprised to see that you visited Macau! I am a Macanese and I can explain the concerns and confusions which you were having during the filming:) 1. The streets in the beginning were quiet because those aren't popular tourist destinations and there's nothing much there. Even for Macanese, we won't walk there at all. 2. It's absolutely ok to say that Macau was colonized by Portugal as we also learn about this at school. This is our history. 3. There are some special events or fairs in the Tap Seac Square throughout the year. During the festivals like Chinese New Year and Christmas, you will find a lot of booths and even temporary rides being set there, and you will find lots of people! 4. There are quite a lot of old streets in Macau which somehow look identical to the ones in Portugal as those areas were built by the Portuguese. And what's so unique about Macau is that you can easily find a Chinese temple sitting somewhere nearby a church, or a Chinese style building near a Portuguese one. I hope you did enjoy your trip!

You don't have to worry about being controversial about China/HK/Macau, don't overthink it. They are all 1 country (China), but China has granted them 2 systems like economy/law which HK and Macau have separate ones. China still gets the last say if need be, but they pretty much let them do what they want as long as it doesn't interfere with the security. Macau and HK are under Chinese military protection and China allows both those cities to have their own foreign relations in international settings like WTO etc.

The essence of Macau is inside of these luxury hotels and casinos, everyone could go inside and visit even if u don't stay in there. The scale of the interiors are crazy, so absolutely go inside of each hotels. They got small Venice, manmade beach, ferris wheel on 31st floor, and building high fish tanks.....so much to see, and each hotel has their own unique, I got amazed everytime.

the egg tart you’ve tried was probably a bad one😂 Macau is quite famous for its “portuguese” tarts, which is a sweeter version of regular chinese egg tart, more custardy, with some burns on top and a crispy tart base. It’s not the same as the original Portuguese tart, but it’s worth a try! Hope you’ll revisit this small city again, cause there’s definitely more to explore! ❤

I love having Michael more in your videos! The interaction between the two of you is really great! Thanks for making and sharing your videos!

lol.... HK doesn't need too much planning but Macau actually does. Macau is divided into a few islands. Without any sort of transportation, you will only catch a glimpse of the place. I'm glad you decided to take a bus at the end.

Just finished it, loved the laid back vlog this time Josie 😊😊😊

When we were there during the Chinese mid-autumn festival which just passed last month, it was PACKED! The buses and streets were packed like sardines especially the street that leads up to the St Paul Ruins. So our experience was quite the opposite 😂

Welcome to Macau. There's probably a lot of construction going on because of the 70th Macau Gran Prix happening next month.If you came to Macau next month, it would've been packed with Paris. I see you visited the local residential area as well, which is very rare. Hope you had a great time.

Loving your videos.....I am visiting Shanghai, Hong Kong and Macau in February! Cannot wait....looks amazing!

There’s a lot of other places you might like to visit…. like Chengdu and see pandas and Sanya, which is a resort island in China, aka the Hawaii of China. But be warned, it’s expensive. Atlantis Hotel has rooms that looks into a massive fish tank so in the middle of the night, you can have any number of marine animals swimming past your windows, but those are costly at over $8,000 USD a night. Also, Las Vegas isn’t that packed most of the year either. Streets are usually emptied as most would be staying by the pool in their home resort because it gets too hot in the desert during the summers. And just like Vegas, most of the shops and restaurants are inside the hotels and casinos, not on the streets.

7:25 the right flag is Chinese National Flag and the left one is Macau Special Administrative Region Flag. While Hongkong SAR flag is different, it's red

It is very delightful watching your vlogs. Welcome to Hong kong and Macau! ❤

In fact the interior of the resorts are so stunning! Sorry you didn’t have enough time to visit

Macau has much more to offer. Come back again soon and explore the city and the food. ❤ And a side note, we use credit cards a lot but usually in bigger stores or restaurants. Small eateries don’t usually accept credit cards because of the charge they have to pay the bank or credit card company. Some stores also limit the use of credit cards for purchase above a certain amount, like MOP 200. So prepare some cash and you can use HKD but the stores will use a 1:1 rate. Hope to see your videos about Macau again! 😊

Ah good old Macau. Glad you went to exploring there.

I just finished watching the video of you guys visiting Shanghai. And I’m so happy to see that you have visited my hometown Macau as well. Like many have already said in the comments, Macau is a rly special city which combined both Portuguese and Chinese cultures. Hope you liked it here.
