🚶‍♂️About the attractions
1️⃣ Golden Street (Jinbi Fang)
Golden Street is a food and cultural landmark at the west end of Macau’s Senado Square. Sen Zai Gas Station and Crab Roe Hotpot attract many handsome guys and beautiful girls to taste and check in. Many nearby attractions are within walking distance, including Senado Square, St. Dominic’s Church, and the Ruins of St. Paul’s, iconic Macau landmarks;
2️⃣ Green Oasis Garden
Located on the 3rd floor of Grand Lisboa, compared to the crowded Ruins of St. Paul’s, this spot is more comfortable for photos, with fewer people and beautiful scenery, easily capturing the Alice in Wonderland garden vibe;
3️⃣ Grand Lisboa Macau Art and Culture Museum "Lisboa · Macau Stories"
Located on the 2nd floor of Grand Lisboa, advance reservation via the mini program is required. The exhibition opens with a five-minute 180-degree panoramic film showcasing over 500 years of Macau’s cultural fusion between East and West. The main exhibition features treasures like gold leaf wood-carved dragon boats and Mazu deity robes. The journey connects Macau’s past, present, and future through eight major landmarks, including the Kun Iam Temple, Grand Lisboa Hotel, and Teatro Dom Pedro V. The Treasure Pavilion also displays Chinese imperial treasures such as the Kangxi Emperor’s throne from the Qing Palace;

🍝 Food Recommendations
“Congee & Noodle House” at the East Gate entrance of Grand Lisboa has a naturally elegant style, with beige decor accented by warm wood elements, creating a cozy and relaxed atmosphere under soft lighting. Recommended signature noodles include Yi Gen Mian, knife-cut noodles, and Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles, with a texture similar to udon but chewier. Also worth trying are fresh meat soup dumplings, lemon pineapple char siu puff pastries, and Portuguese sauce fresh bamboo rolls. Don’t miss the nourishing fresh Macau water crab congee, each bite tantalizing the taste buds. The eight-treasure tea is exceptional, and there are tea art performances at specific times;
