Synopsis: This is an epic story of love and courage. The story begins with a storm that sweeps the protagonist, "The Stranger," into a mysterious water kingdom. There, he encounters "Princess Anne," imprisoned by evil forces, and embarks on a rescue and escape journey with a group of loyal companions. Intertwined with love, sacrifice, and faith, the Stranger grows from a lost traveler into a hero who saves the world. The entire plot requires no dialogue; through the actors' physical movements, dance, and stunning scenes, the audience can understand the plot development without any obstacles and feel the emotional ups and downs along with the rhythm.
The show has resumed ticket sales after the pandemic. The seats are in the front row and raincoats are provided. The visuals are stunning, the duration is just right, the performance is rich in layers, and the actors' performances are superb. It is definitely worth watching!

Macau Tower: A Monument to Dizzying PerspectivesThe Macau Tower, officially known as the Macau Tower Convention & Entertainment Centre, is far more than a mere telecommunications spire; it is the definitive icon of Macau's modern skyline and a powerful symbol of its audacious spirit. Rising 338 meters from the shoreline, it dominates the panorama, a sleek needle threading the clouds. A visit here is less a typical tourist activity and more a multifaceted experience, one that compellingly oscillates between serene observation and pure, unadulterated adrenaline, leaving an impression that is as profound as the drop from its outer rim.
It's worth a visit; the panoramic view of Macau is fantastic! Just remember to buy tickets online in advance for a cheaper price; buying them at the counter is too expensive, and the staff won't explain why.

✨Environment Review
I was blown away the moment I arrived! The water jets danced to the music, and I couldn't stop taking pictures 📸 The House of Dancing Water venue has a very high-tech design, and the lighting effects are absolutely dreamlike.
The performance was truly breathtaking! 🔥The way the performers tumbled and flipped in the water is definitely worth seeing!
Mezza9 Seafood Buffet is a foodie paradise! 🦞The freshly opened lobsters were incredibly fresh and bouncy, and the seafood was displayed plump and juicy on ice, cooked piping hot and served piping hot.
- The freshly grilled garlic scallops were amazing; I could eat five without getting tired of them!
- The dessert section was stunningly beautiful and tasted great too!

You think that City of Dreams only has a Ferris wheel? Yes and no.
The Ferris wheel is in City of Dreams, while City of Dreams has a dancing water stream (although unfortunately, it is not open for the time being due to the epidemic). It upholds the unique characteristics of Macau complexes and is also a one-stop service for eating, drinking and having fun, and is extremely luxurious.
Here, first-line big brands are arranged in order, and there is no need to queue. There are also many designer brand stores, which are very design-oriented. Even the stores themselves are beautiful. From time to time, a limited luxury car will be parked for you in the atrium of the square to highlight your noble status.
As for eating, the shopping mall is much more friendly. Those stars and pearls are all in the hotel upstairs. The restaurant area on the second floor here, Starbucks, McDonald's, snacks and small snacks occupy a large area. You can come up to rest when you are tired.
Compared with the previous complexes, I personally think that City of Dreams has the strongest sense of design and the best looking.

Iits my first time to see the night view of taipa and i realize macau is a very nice place.but the souvenir a little bit expensive but it a good memories to keep
The combined ticket for the Ferris wheel and the Eiffel Tower was significantly cheaper than buying it on-site. However, they wouldn't let us go up the Eiffel Tower in windy or rainy weather, and the ticket I booked through Ctrip was non-refundable. I made a special trip there on the morning before I left. Overall, the experience was quite good.

It's definitely worth it. Both the indoor and outdoor areas are fantastic. Remember to bring a hot towel with you. Although there's no sun drying inside, the air conditioning is on full blast, so the kids will feel cold after getting out of the water.
Loving the Experience!!!! Good for Summer outing with family and friends !!

Team lap in Macau is incredible It’s very huge. I have been in Singapore before and in Singapore is smaller than this. I recommend you to go to the Macau one if you visit Macau. And reserve with trip.com is the best choice. Is cheaper than the front door ticket.
Fun place to be. Only thing I’d say is that if you’ve been to the one in Tokyo, feel free to skip.

The Venetian Macao Resort is a place that makes people linger. It perfectly reproduces the style of Venice, with arch bridges, canals and cobblestone roads full of exotic style. Walking through it, the artificial skylight above simulates the blue sky and white clouds, and the day and night change, just like being in the real streets of Venice. The Grand Canal Shopping Center is full of brands and has an excellent shopping experience. The luxury suites are spacious and comfortable, with all the facilities. There are also wonderful performances, rich food, and exciting entertainment. Take a gondola and listen to the boatman's singing through the canal, and the romantic atmosphere is full. Whether it is a date between lovers, a family trip or a gathering of friends, the Venetian Macao Resort can provide the ultimate holiday enjoyment. It is a dream place that must be checked in when visiting Macau.
到了澳门了，怎么能不到威尼斯人来看一看呢？免费的发财车就可以到，这里室内层高估计有五层楼，天空永远是蓝色，这里有银行的ATM机，一圈都是卖各种品牌的商店，四周充满着金碧辉煌的一种气氛，气温调的不冷不热，池水永远是蓝色，空气中弥漫着酒店特有的香味，只是不知道这里面的水多久换一次。有人花钱买票乘坐里面黑色的的贡多拉游啊游。

Sands Macau, including The Londoner Macau, The Parisian Macau, and The Venetian Macau. It's really big. You'll get lost if you walk around inside. I've tried Crystal Jade Ramen and Xiaolongbao at The Parisian Restaurant. It's pretty good.

A lot of interactive activities,a very decent place for visiting!!!
Interesting museum. Beyond expectation. Once entered you may register yourself at one of the digital booth, then enjoy a lot of games available in the museum. The results, photos, videos will be available. We spent a few hrs enjoying ourselves there. Well worth the money. Buy ticket from trip beforehand. It is much cheaper!
