Hong Kong (3) - Macau

The day before flying back, off we went to Macau via ferry from Kowloon.  The journey took us about one hour or so.

We made a good decision by getting a local guide, no need the hassle of looking at the map for directions etc.  The first place the guide took us was the resort The Wynn, he just told us to go in and watch the show (it was not in our own itinerary), glad he took us there.

And for the second video please follow this link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5e6Xectc8c

There are two types of display of light, visual and audio - The Tree of Prosperity and Dragon of Fortune - and what you see here is the Tree of Prosperity.

And what not to be missed if you are in Macau is to watch the show - The House of Dancing Water - at the City of Dreams.   What a fantastic and superb show.

Check out their website for more information of booking and accommodation at this link - http://thehouseofdancingwater.com/en/

But be forewarned for those in the first few rows in front of the pool cum stage you might get a little wet but don't worry towels are provided :).  The show is worth the price of the ticket.

Before the show starts.  At the center is the pool cum stage.

Get ready everybody for the short clip ........

End of the performance.

So remember if you are in Macau, do not miss this performance.

After lunch at the Po Lin Monastery's restaurant, off we return back to meet with the rest for the next destination, The Peak and Madame Tussauds' wax museum.

As it was a public holiday (dumpling festival), it was packed at the viewing station.

Light display - 'Smiley'

As the sun goes down, lights down in the city come alive.

Above video is a light display from one of the buildings.

After the long queue to get the tram
here we are outside the station.




















At Madame Tussauds wax museum.  A noticed and in my humble opinion a few of the wax figurines do not resemble the celebrities.
