Here is a Macau travel guide, hoping to help you have a wonderful trip to Macau:

Pre-trip Preparations
- **Documents**: Mainland Chinese residents need to apply for a Hong Kong and Macau Exit-Entry Permit and a valid endorsement. Ensure the endorsement is within its validity period and carry your ID card with you.
- **Currency**: Macau primarily uses Macanese Pataca (MOP). Hong Kong Dollars and RMB are also widely accepted. You can exchange some MOP or HKD cash at a bank in advance for taxi rides, small purchases, etc. Additionally, most shops and restaurants support credit card and mobile payments.
- **Communication and Electronics**: Bring your mobile phone, charger, and power bank. Macau's power outlets are different from mainland China's, so you'll need a travel adapter. You can buy an international roaming card or activate a roaming package in advance, or purchase a local data SIM card.
- **Medicine and Daily Necessities**: Bring common medicines such as cold medicine, pain relievers, stomach medicine, motion sickness pills, etc. Some hotels do not provide toiletries like toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, and shower gel, so you'll need to bring your own set.
- **Clothing and Sun Protection**: Prepare clothing according to the travel season. In summer, bring light and breathable clothes, and also bring a parasol, sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, and other sun protection items, as Macau's UV radiation is strong.

Transportation Guide
- **Cross-border Transportation**:
- **Airplane**: Many cities have direct flights to Macau International Airport, offering short flight times and high efficiency.
- **Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge Shuttle Bus**: If departing from Zhuhai, you can take a shuttle bus via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge to Macau. It allows you to enjoy the bridge's scenery and is also affordable.
- **City Transportation**:
- **Bus**: Bus routes are extensive, but buses do not announce stops. You can download a bus stop announcement app. Fares are generally 3-6 MOP. Consider purchasing a Macau Pass card.
- **Taxi**: Taxi fares are relatively high, and there might be instances of refusal to take passengers. When taking a taxi, try to choose official taxi stands.
- **Hotel Free Shuttle Bus**: Major hotels offer free shuttle buses connecting to the airport, border gates, and main attractions. Make good use of them.
