Macau Travel | A 1-Hour Escape from Shenzhen to Treasure Island!

| Just 1 hour from Shenzhen, step into a world of luxury at YOHO Treasure Island Mall! Right after crossing the Gongbei border, I couldn't wait to hop on the free shuttle to YOHO Treasure Island Mall—where my 24-hour adventure began! This is your gateway to Macau's newest landmark the moment you arrive. Drop your bags and dive straight into the mall!

Macau's first urban-themed shopping center feels like a giant mystery box, with something for everyone. My must-buy? MRISSTIME watches—a premium Swiss private customization brand. Who wouldn’t want a one-of-a-kind timepiece? Perfect for both business and casual wear, these century-old brand watches guarantee quality while showcasing impeccable taste.

As night falls, the real highlight begins—sneak into the hidden gem "World Cigar Forum" deep inside the mall! Stepping inside is like entering a secret Havana hideout. Dark leather sofas, cedarwood aromas, and walls lined with cigars resting in climate-controlled rooms. 🥃 A Cuban maestro slowly toasts a COHIBA cigar with sandalwood, teaching me to savor it like chocolate as cardamom and caramel melt on my tongue... With dim lighting and jazz in the background, I finally understood 007’s joy! The rare and limited-edition cigars here are countless, including some truly one-of-a-kind finds—a must for serious aficionados!

For my own private retreat, I booked the Platinum Open-Air Hot Tub Room at YOHO World Hotel, just upstairs from the mall. After shopping, I could unwind in my room’s spacious balcony and indoor soaking tub 🛁—perfect for a solo relaxation session.

The room also features an ultra-comfy 2.2-meter king bed, ideal for a power nap to recharge before the next adventure.

Which led me to the infinity pool, where I soaked in breathtaking views of Macau’s iconic sights: the Observation Tower, Nam Van Lake, and Bishop Hill. Paired with sunset hues, it was pure magic.

I’ll definitely return to capture that golden-hour "life photo" next time!

The next morning, I woke up naturally and headed to Swan Lake Restaurant for breakfast. Floor-to-ceiling windows framed stunning views, while the lavish buffet fueled me for the day ahead.

In just 24 hours, YOHO Treasure Island Hotel delivered endless surprises. If you’re torn over where to stay in Macau, I’d recommend it without hesitation!!
