A typical program for a stay in Macau usually consists of visiting the ruins of St. Paul and squandering money in numerous casinos. If both of these points of the program are completed, and your soul asks for something else, we recommend visiting the Seak Pai Van Park Zoo on Taipa Island and see how pandas live in Macau. It will be a nice walk.
Take bus 25 or 26 from the stop next to the Sheraton Hotel. You need to get off at the stop: “Coloane Quarry” - there will be three huge high-rise buildings on the right, and a park on the left behind the fence. The price of a bus ticket is about 4 patacas.
Panda Pavilion in Macau

Pandas in Macau are the most trained
In the photo: pandas in Macau during their daily fitness feeding :) Unlike imposing, pandas of Macau To the delight of tourists, they successfully combine fitness with feeding. As a result, we have a funny and positive show.
In the photo: a panda is engaged in training feeding Everything is simple and exciting. Pandas get food in plastic containers that have a hole in them. It's a kind of puzzle. You need to sweat a lot so that banana pieces start coming out of the container :)

Much to the regret of amateur photographers, they have to photograph pandas through glass.

Just now we paid a friendly visit to glorious China. Today I will tell you, dear readers, about a small zoo in the city of Macau, a former Portuguese colony.
The Macau City Zoo is quite small; it is closely surrounded by multi-storey buildings. However, its territory is very well maintained and attracts not only tourists.
For example, there are a lot of butterflies here.
I, of course, am not much of a fauna specialist (or, more precisely, not an expert at all), but I have never seen such large specimens in open spaces before.
A little further away the enclosures begin. The white-cheeked crested gibbon looks at you and thinks about something of his own...
The main and main feature of the zoo is the pavilion with giant pandas. Paid entrance.
We witnessed an epic showdown between two young individuals:
If you look at such photos, you may get the impression that there is some kind of real bickering or even a fight. In fact, such a “fur massacre” causes nothing but laughing. Here, see for yourself:

Smack - the WWF logo is ready!
Pandas are incredibly lazy. They are too lazy to sleep, too lazy to eat, too lazy to reproduce. In order for them not to die out, people help them with literally everything. Newborn babies look like baby rats; they are fed from a pipette and kept in a pressure chamber. When we arrived, this panda was dozing, sometimes looking lazily at the audience:
An hour has passed…
Pandas have a monotonous diet - they eat tops. In large quantities.
And these are pandin kakahi, with the structure of pressed chipboards. It seems logical on the one hand, but quite unexpected on the other hand.
And this is a red panda. The size of a fox, and the tail is like a lemur's, striped.
It turns out that someone was watching us all this time.
Pink flamiiiiiiingoooo, child of the zakaaaaaaaaaa
That's all for now. We brought a lot of observations and pictures from Hong Kong and Macau, I will show you some a little later. Thank you for your attention!
The Center for Children and Youth Tourism enrolls children in sports sections for sports tourism, rock climbing, and orienteering.h This is what the pedestrian descent from Krasnaya Street to Kubanskaya Street in the Central District of the resort city of Sochi looks like!

I don’t remember previously that such bird voices were heard over Adler, but this summer a bird unknown to me settled in our area for a long time and became a little fed up): at night, early in the morning, and almost all day long, it squeaks shrilly,

P before I write a post on my flight from Macau to the Philippines,
I want to write about the places we planned to visit, but it didn’t work out for various reasons. The post will be useful to those who are planning to go there. I'll start with pandas. Macau Giant Panda Pavilio... it's interesting, it's even sacred... but it doesn't work every day.
Before Macau Giant Panda Pavilion long enough to get there. When planning your time, it is advisable to focus on this particular site, since the fortress and temples in Macau itself are close and you can see them at any time.
We missed the mark with the pandas because in those days that we were there they simply did not work or worked on shortened, shortened days. The downside is that you can walk there for a long time, but you still won’t see the pandas. If they sleep hidden, there will be wasted time and money, no one will wake them up for the sake of tourists. The Chinese are happy if they just turn over on the other side and this is a whole event.
You can see pink flamingos, black swans, lemurs and monkeys for free, but no one would travel far to see all this. Please note that they do not give change on the bus. Therefore, you need to collect change in advance. But pandas in China -
this is sacred...
The Macau Science Museum houses a life-size model of the Chinese space station Shenzhou-5. The first manned flight of this spacecraft made China in 2003 the third country in the world to independently send a man into space.
Next to the pandas is Kun-Iam temple complex
It was built 400 years ago in honor of the Goddess of Mercy. Around the central statue of Kun-Yam there is a whole group of monuments dedicated to the sages of China, among which, surprisingly, is a monument to Marco Polo. It was in this place that China and the United States signed a treaty on cooperation and trade in 1844.
The downside is that it’s a bit far to get there and, apart from a paid bus, you need to walk a lot - 40 minutes through the forest along a path up the hill. But the place is not overrun by tourists (due to its complexity and legs). It makes sense to visit it together with pandas, because... they are close. We didn’t go here because we didn’t go to the pandas))))) and in Macau there is a temple complex that is 200 years older than this and you don’t need to walk up the hill (it was relevant because my leg hurt).
Macau Fisherman's Wharf... located near the Sands Casino.
This is the place where the stylization of a classic European fishing shipyard was created. This complex is located in an idyllic location on the Outer Harbour, overlooking the marina. Extensive complex on the territory of which you can immediately visit Holland, Germany, France, Israel (see Golgotha), Babylon, see the Colosseum (rather Verona than Rome), the Forbidden City in Beijing...
We didn’t see all of this because it was closed for some unknown planned or not so planned renovation.
Just the enumeration of objects located nearby (buildings, squares, structures built almost life-size) speaks of how curious and unusual it is when you come from the Dutch quarter, find yourself in a German, then Italian, French,
Golden Tower))))
Formula Grand Prix Museum 1 in Macau was opened on December 11, 1993 during the fortieth race.
The museum displays photos, articles, awards and other items related to the most famous competitions in the world of motorsports. The most attractive part of the museum is the 20 cars that took part in the races. One of the most valuable exhibits is the car and suit of the famous racer Aerton Senna. In Macau he won the 1983 Grand Prix.
The first Grand Prix tournament was held in Macau in 1954. Since then it has been held more than fifty times. Every year in November, hundreds of Formula 1 fans gather in Macau during the race.
In a special hall of the museum, slides are shown on a projector about events in motor sports. There are also two replicas of racing cars with electric motors installed on them.
A good museum, small, an easy treasure for children, and free. There is an opportunity to drive a simulator for money. We didn’t go here because there were no Formula One fans among us and no one was interested.
Wine Museum with an area of 1,400 square meters, it is divided into a number of sections, where, among other things, maps, texts, photographs, films and videos related to the history of winemaking are presented.
The purpose of each section is not only to provide information about wine and vines, but also to recreate the atmosphere of wine production, showing visitors modern and traditional tools and devices involved in wine production.
One of the main goals of this museum is to familiarize visitors with the social, economic and cultural significance of wine in Portuguese traditions, daily life and festive rituals.
The museum features 1,143 different wine brands (1,115 Portuguese and 28 Chinese). Of the 1,115 Portuguese wine brands, 756 are commercial varieties and 359 are special collection varieties, the oldest of which is Port from 1815, these brands cover different regions of Portugal and also represent examples of winemaking in the People's Republic of China. The demonstration of each sample is accompanied by a brief description.
The museum also houses a number of mannequins wearing a variety of local outfits from different regions of Portugal. We didn’t go here because we were already drinking too much...
Address: Rua Luis Gonzaga Gomes 431, ground floor (Tourist Activity Center - CAT).
Opening hours: 10:00 to 21:00. Closed on Tuesday.
Five years and 250 million dollars were spent on the creation and production "House of Dancing Water", the most spectacular extravaganza in the world, which can be seen at the City of Dreams in Macau.
The show “The House of Dancing Water” was created specifically for City of Dreams by one of the world’s most famous directors of various shows, Franco Dragone, whose spectacular shows were visited by more than 65 million viewers in dozens of countries.
Performances are not on Tuesday and Wednesday, the rest of the week 2 times a day at 17 and 20 hours, 1.5 hours. Prices depending on the place from 5000 and above for our hard-earned money. We decided that we’ll make do)))) tea is not the Bolshoi Theater, it’s such a loot to pay, and there’s already a lot of water around)))
There is also the House of the Mandarin, the Moorish barracks, a lighthouse, a high-mountain fortress, etc. but this is all already in Macau. And if you wish, you can see these objects instead of a casino. The map of Macau will help you)) I don’t even know if there are beaches here, but there is sand under your feet, so there must be.
Once a year, a procession passes through the streets of Macau to drive out the “drunken dragon”: people squirt strong Chinese vodka from their mouths - it is believed that its vapor drives the spirit of an evil dragon out of the city.
During the Portuguese festival in honor of St. John, more than a ton of charcoal-grilled Portuguese sardines are eaten in street tents and kiosks and more than a million liters of the famous Portuguese Super Bock beer are drunk.
And other tips. Three days is enough to explore Macau. One day at Pandas and the surrounding area, casino in the evening. Second day for the old town, TV tower and casino. Third day: fortress, Ferris wheel, etc.
From the casino, I advise you to see Galaxy and mermaids and, of course, Venice, after all - the largest casino in the world.
Take advantage of the free buses. They run between casinos that are indicated on tourist maps, which is convenient. A-Mo Temple, the oldest temple in Macau, is only allowed until 6:00 p.m.
Hotels are expensive, especially on weekends. The price of food in a cafe can vary greatly. Two eateries nearby can have almost double the price difference. Take adapters for sockets. They are triple here, Chinese. In Hong Kong there are two types of Chinese with different distances between the forks. In the Philippines, for example, there were European sockets in hotels, but not here. The Chinese come here to play more often than Europeans to relax, because Macau in China is the only gaming area where casinos are allowed.
