From the bus

Free buses shuttle between the ferry terminals and the major hotel-casinos. Here's what we saw on the road.

Ho, Ho, Ho! Dr. Stanley Ho, billionaire casino mogul

Macau Tower

Gate of Understanding

The Water Cube-like Casino Oceanus

L'Arc New World Hotel Macau

almost done

Macau by ferry

Travel companions for the day: my mom, uncle, aunt, and two nieces

boarding the TurboJet in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong Island

We took the COTAIJet from Taipa on the way back. It's more expensive and the journey is a bit longer, but it is less stressful because there are few people in the terminal.

Wynn Macau

Caught the Tree of Prosperity and Dragon of Fortune shows at Wynn. They alternate every 30 minutes from 10am to 2am daily.

How to tell what's coming? If you can see smoke just before the globe opens, it's the dragon's turn.

MGM Grand Macau

Crossing the bridge to mainland Macau now, here's the MGM Grand decked in holiday decor.

Giant panda nga!


Not so tall after all

Where's the lion? It's outside
