Let's continue with part 2 after marinating part 1 for almost a year. It's not even a year yet, so it's not been marinated for long, right? For the Macau trip.

From the previous year when we went, the authorities wrote MACAU in English. However, a few months ago, the authorities officially changed the characters to "MACAO". But we think it will still be a problem for check-in systems or various signs that still use the old Macau name. Let's gradually adjust it.

We'll get used to it, right? For the trip we joined, it was 3 days and 2 nights. At first, I thought I would do 2 episodes to finish this time. But we stopped by too many places and took a lot of pictures. So, this episode is not over yet!

The final episode is episode 3. I'll tell you more when I'm free. In simple words, it means that I have to wait for a while. 555

Let's refresh our memories a bit for the Macau trip in episode 1.

• Let's Go Macau, a unique and unconventional trip (Part 1)

For the second day's journey, we left the hotel as usual and headed to the temple.

This trip is a trip to visit old temples in Macau, really.

Lin Fong Temple (Lin Fong Temple)

Lin Fung Temple, also known as the Lotus Flower Temple, is one of the three oldest temples in Macau. It is considered an official temple, where government officials meet and hold events. One way to identify an official site is by the presence of two large flagpole bases in front of the building.

Official sites with flagpole bases include A-Ma Temple, Lin Fung Temple, and the Ruins of St. Paul's.

The name Lin Fung comes from the name of the mountain where the temple is located. It was previously known as Tin Hau Temple.

It was built during the Ming Dynasty in 1592, using Yin Yang architecture in its design.

Lin Fung Temple is the only temple with a temple school (Buddhist school).

Lin Fung Temple is home to a multitude of deities, including:

* Guanyin (left Wei Tuo = protector) (right Tang Sanzang = caring for and helping souls in hell, requesting for souls to ascend to heaven or not suffer)

* Wei Tou (Wei Tuo) – Protector of Guanyin

* A-ma/Tin Hau

* Golden Flower Goddess – Requesting for children or for children to have good health

* Wen Chang (Wen Chang) – God of knowledge, for requesting matters of study and knowledge to become a knowledgeable person

* I Leng – For health, medicine

* Xen Long (Shen Long) – Agriculture, requesting for rain to fall according to the season or requesting for crops

* Guan Yu – Representative of honesty, justice, and loyalty, can request for work matters, request to find good colleagues

Not being cheated, achieving success

* Jiang Jun – General on the battlefield during the war, paired with a horse, it is believed that the horse is like a vehicle, so it is customary to worship and request for safe driving and travel. Locals often put grass in the mouth of the horse statue as a sign of respect for the horse, which is also a metaphor for their own vehicle.

* Tai Sui Hall (Tai Soi) – There are a total of 60 Tai Sui deities, people like to come here to resolve their clashes, but at Lin Fung Temple, the clash resolution ceremony can only be performed during Chinese New Year.

And then the secret photo mode is here.

Next to Lin Fung Temple is the Lin Zexu Memorial Hall. Let's go inside and have a look.

It is said that during the period when the British smuggled opium into China, the Chinese people became addicted to opium, creating problems for the country.

Lin Zexu therefore took action to arrest and ban the import of opium. At that time, it was found that Macau also had opium. The governor

Lin Zexu also helped to restrict opium in Macau. After he left Macau, the government built a museum to commemorate and show respect.

After leaving Lin Fung Temple, we continued walking, as the temples in Macau are quite close to each other. Sometimes there can be problems with parking.

However, Lin Fung Temple has parking available. At that time, we had just been able to connect to the internet with our mobile phones. There are mobile phone shops near this temple, as the SIM card we bought from the airport had not worked for a whole day. This was due to some settings in Macau. When we got our phone back, we had another headache, as the staff had set it to Chinese. 555

By the time we managed to change it back to English, we had already passed another temple!

Goddess of Mercy Temple (Pou Chai Sim Un)

The Kun Iam Temple is one of the three oldest temples in Macau, built during the Ming Dynasty in the 13th century, making it the oldest temple in Macau.

Upon entering, you will be greeted by statues of the gatekeepers (Four Heavenly Kings). Normally, all temples in Macau have two statues of gatekeepers, but this temple has four.

The person below is a fellow traveler. We had a hard time finding an angle to take a picture. The smell of incense in the temple every day is too strong to mention.

We couldn't stay long and had to come out to breathe fresh air outside the temple instead. 555

This is one of the trip participants we captured the most photos of, Nok, the admin of the "Friends with Backpacks" page.

After visiting these two temples, it's already noon! Yay! Now it's time for lunch.

The bus took us across the river to this restaurant near the beach.

Henri's Gallery Restaurant, a Mediterranean restaurant

Today's lunch menu will be

1. Soup - Caldo Verde (Potato soup with sausage and vegetables)

2. Appetizer – Ameijoas A Portuesa (Stir-fried clams) Torradinha De Camarao (Shrimp coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried)

3. Main Course – Camarao Frito (Picante) Com Salada (Epoca) (Large fried shrimp with spicy sauce)

- Casquinha de Caranguejo (Fried crab meat)

- Galhina Assada /African Chicken (African grilled chicken)

- Bacalhau A Bras (Scrambled eggs with potatoes and cod)

- Arrrz De Marisco Fritado (Seafood fried rice)

And the dish that we enjoyed the most was the Casquinha de Caranguejo (Fried crab meat). They mixed crab meat with what seemed to be powdered flour, stuffed it into crab shells, and deep-fried it with breadcrumbs. It was so fragrant and delicious when we opened it up. But if we had some Thai seafood dipping sauce at that time, it would have been even more amazing (I wish I had brought some with me).

After lunch, we left the restaurant and continued our journey. Where to next? A temple, my friends!!

The parking lot of this temple is a bit far, but there are plenty of comfortable parking spaces. On the way to the temple, I saw beautiful paintings on the walls. I couldn't help but take some pictures. It's a pity that I wanted to stand close to the wall and have my travel companions take pictures for me, but when I looked left and right, they had all run away.

A-Ma Temple

A-Ma Temple, also known as the Temple of the Sea Goddess, is located on Mount Barra. It was built to honor A-Ma, who is believed to be the goddess of the sea. Inside, there are two large rocks that have been carved into the shape of an ancient junk. The rock at the front, which is surrounded by a fence, is said to be the spot where A-Ma set foot on Macau.

However, as many worshippers have touched the rock, A-Ma Temple has created a similar rock nearby to accommodate the large number of tourists and worshippers. People often rub banknotes on the carved junk on the large rock and put them back in their wallets, or they hang wind chimes with their lovers' names on the tree of love to ask for a lasting love or to strengthen their relationships with their families.

So, does that mean that what we are worshipping is a fake?

Then where is the real rock?

The real rock is here!

Near the temple, you have to climb many more steps to find a small, peaceful corner.

Many people who come to pay respects to A Ma really don't know that the real thing is here, so they just worship in the temple, which is full of people.

There are hardly any people here, or maybe they just don't know. It's a good thing the Macau guide told us.

Let's go out from A Ma Temple and continue. This time, we're going to one of the World Heritage Sites. When you come to Macau, you can't miss this place.

The Ruins of St. Paul's Cathedral

The Ruins of St. Paul's is a major landmark in Macau. It is the remaining facade of the Mater Dei Church after a fire.

The Mater Dei Church had previously been destroyed by fire twice, so the third Mater Dei Church was built larger.

And it was burned down to the front part that we see today.

When I visited the Ruins of St. Paul, there were so many people, like ants!

As we walked down, we entered Senado Square (a World Heritage Site). Senado Square is considered the heart of Macau and is often used for various events. As for us, we went to buy some food. I was very thirsty at that time, so I went to find some snacks and buy some strange snacks at the shops, and I also looked at some beautiful clothes.

But it was too much, there were too many people, so I had to walk to the meeting point to wait for the group. I was left to walk around this area for quite a while.

It was so long that it got dark, so long that I was hungry. The car came to pick us up for dinner.

Parking was very difficult to find, so we had to leave someone behind and come back to pick them up later.

Sun Yick Restaurant

It's a Chinese restaurant. Open 18.00PM -04.00AM every day.

There are a lot of food. This meal is not finished because it's not spicy. We miss Thai food so much. 555

It's really hard to eat foreign food.

Behind the scenes, the media and bloggers who went together, before eating, lol.

Actually, today's program is over. We should go back to our accommodation. But since we're already here,

we might as well go for a night walk and take some beautiful photos. We'll split into several groups depending on

where everyone wants to go. As for me, I saw the riverside at dusk while we were driving by, and I'd like to capture the lights of Macau, even though the twilight is fading.

This time I tried shooting RAW files. I don't know how to adjust them, so the white balance is a bit off.

But I like it, I want to post it 555

After taking enough photos, many people will return to their accommodation, but we would like to continue.

The guide said that he would take us to the place we wanted to go and let us find our way back to the hotel ourselves. Okay, let's do it.

There were 3-4 of us in our group. What we wanted to see in Macau was the Venetian Macao. We heard that it was famous.

But when we got there, it was like, "Is this it?!"

In Venice, this place is not very popular with Thai people anymore, according to a Thai guide.

Different from what we thought, this place is a lot different. It is a casino, a restaurant, and a department store all in one, open 24 hours a day like other casinos in general. This makes it necessary to create a planetarium.

Unlike Venice, Hua Hin in our country is very different. Macau's is in an air-conditioned room, while ours is an imitation of theirs.

It's so hot that my liver is sticking out 555. When I was disappointed with Venice, Macau, I thought once was enough. Let's walk on. It's a bit far, but it's easy to walk on the streets of Macau. There aren't many cars. Let's cross the road and walk around.

Go to this place, which is so magnificent that we have to shout, "Wow!"

Galaxy Macau, Macau

Galaxy Macau is incredibly luxurious and magnificent.

When we visited and saw it with our own eyes, we felt like tiny ants. The exterior is massive,

and the interior is even more luxurious. It houses hotels, shopping malls, and casinos all under one roof.

We desperately wanted to capture the interior, but we could only glance at it. That's all we could get, haha.

We walked through the back of Galaxy Macau, where there were still some shops selling things, but not many people.

We went into a shop to buy some water to drink, we were so thirsty. That's it for tonight, we'll take a taxi back. There were 4 of us, and we couldn't all fit in one car, so we had to split up into 2 cars. We told the driver Rock Hotel, and he nodded, even though the guide said it was only 4 kilometers from the hotel.

It turned out that it took almost an hour to get there because the driver took us to another Rock Hotel branch, which was like going around the world, lol.

Thank you for watching!

We give it our all in every review, in every area, whether it's this trip or any other trip.
