If you want to taste it was a walk in Europe without wanting to apply for a visa to the embassy trouble and do not want to get too drained the savings, you can visit Macau, a small town part of China.
Macao or Macau is one of the two special administrative regions of People’s Republic of China, except Hong Kong. City of Macau is a city known for its nightlife and his gambling. It can be said that Macau is a Las Vegas of Asia because the region’s economy is heavily dependent on gambling activities and tourism city.
Behind the nightlife, Macau also store a treasure trove of riches architectural, urban planning, and abundant culinary heritage of the Portuguese who occupied the Macau government for more than 400 years, until taken over by the government of China in 1999.
Number of heritage buildings Portuguese Macao is making similar to a small town in Europe. The good, until now the historic buildings are relics of the colonial period is still well maintained, and even become one tourist attraction for the city.
Most historical buildings in Macau has two designation, one in English, another in Portuguese.
Certainly aware that not confused with the two term with these two languages. Road marker was written in two languages, Mandarin and Portuguese. Although many public facilities that use two languages, it turns out the language used most local residents are Mandarin or Cantonese. Only about 2 percent of the Portuguese language. It seems that in terms of language, Portuguese is not too influential here.
Towards Macau
To visit Macau, you can use a direct flight to the airport with a cross from Macau or Hong Kong via ferry with a range of one hour. Ferry fare varies, from 142 dollars up to 1062 Hong Kong Hong Kong dollars. Although at that time I use the ferry economy class, I was surprised too so get into the ferry cabin. The floor was carpeted, comfortable chairs like aircraft seats, and the interior is quite luxurious for my size as a backpacker beggar. But, after I think about it, 142 Hong Kong dollars, if used as the rupiah, approximately USD 170,000. Yes, no wonder comfortable.
Free map that I got at the airport in Macau unfortunately not too much help to explore Macau. Figure way less detail and did not appear skalatis well. However, at least we’ll get a pretty good orientation to get around Macau. So, do not forget to pick up your free map so landed at the airport in Macau.
To reach the inn as you go, you can choose to use a bus or taxi. Keep in mind, most locals do not understand English Macau. So, prepare your residence card which is equipped with local language, which sometimes provided on the website inn.
If you do not have a residence card, use the “hand language” to explain to taxi drivers, in other words: give a map of Macau and then point to your destination.
I myself at that time staying at an old inn over 100 years old in La Rue Felicidade named Sanva Hospedaria. Staying at this hostel is like to experience an ancient Chinese film, of course, considering this hostel also had several times used as a shooting a few Hong Kong films. Sanva addition, there are several other hostels are also often recommended the backpacker. Some of them Auguster’s Lodge and Ko Wah Hotel.
