As a Macanese I realised that i haven’t really pay attention to how beautiful Macau is ,i kinda just get used to the culture and fusion food here and I always think Macau is so small and boring,ever since I was a kid I wanted to leave this small town once I’m capable of surviving outside but through your video I found the beauty of it!!thanks
as a mainlander traveled quite much I think Macau is somehow the best place in China, not that much regulation as the mainland, and not that anxious as HK, small but beautiful, safe, stable and great benefits, easy access to mainland and to the world. regarding boring, believe me you will feel boring at anywhere you stay longer than 3 months, lol. that's why we travel.
I am a mixed Portuguese, working with a lot of Portuguese lawyers in a law firm in Macau, somewhere near where you saw the jewellery, watches and Grand Emperor area. :D So glad you enjoyed our little mixed culture corner. 😁 Not many speaking Portuguese in the streets or shops, it's more like an administration/government official language now, but still a lot of us Portuguese stayed through the generations and are currently living here in Macau, although some might have returned to Portugal. :)
Pretty crowded city, yet with the feel of a small mixed culture town. Perfectly fine for any ethnicity! 😊 Food, lot of food, much variety of cuisines. 😃 I have Mozambican and Cape Verde friends here in Macau, I tell them about my Moçambique and Cabo Verde friends in Portugal and they immediately feel welcome here in Macau. 😁
I literally went to macau for a week there and was so facinated by the views and all , I finished every activity you can possibly do in like 3 days so that was a bummer but I kept on re-visiting it because It is just so captivating
I love Macau too. I am sure you had fun visiting. The old residencial part is actually quite and charming, the casino area have a lot inexpensive but nice eateries. I am visiting Portugal in October because of my Macau visit. Unlike the Brits, the Portuguese didn't grab Macau through war, they paid rent for hundreds of years. They were also very cooperative with the returning Macau to China which I appreciate greatly.
Look into the Macau riots in the 60s and who gained control as well as the discussions from the 70s between Portugal and the CCP on Macau's handover. It's quite interesting
There's a story/myth about how the name Macau came about, considering that the name of Macau in Cantonese is pronounced as "O-Moon" (or "Ao-men" in Mandarin). Rumours had it that when the Portuguese landed in Macau, the A-Ma Temple was actually where they landed and they asked the locals about what's the name of the place. The locals, understanding no Portuguese whatsoever, thought that they were asking about the A-Ma Temple, which is pronunced as "Ma-gok-miu" in Cantonese, so they answered "Ma-gok" to the Portuguese. The Portuguese, on the other hand, understanding no Cantonese whatsoever, thought that "Ma-gok" was the name of the whole town, and that's how the name "Macau" came into existence. Not sure if it's true, but somehow it seemed the most valid explanation (to me personally) as to why the Chinese and Portuguese name of Macau sound so different. There's an even funnier story/myth about how the name Taipa, which is the other side of Macau, came about.
The other stories are: 1. Portuguese asked local fisheman the name of oh-moon, locals answered what fish they were selling 馬鮫 “ Magao" 2. Portuguese asked again, locals felt anoyed by telling off"乜鳩 MugGau"(Hell you say?)

I just discovered your channel by one of your food vlog in China which I enjoyed a lot! I am glad that you enjoyed your trip to Macau, but I'd say Macau has much more to offer other than casions and beautiful buildings. You will be surprised by the variety of food you could find there and I will be more than happy to show you around and get you some food tours if you ever are gonna come visit again!
My mom was born in Macau and my dad was born in the southern part of China. They married in Macau in one of the Catholic Churches there. I’ve been to Macau and also Hong Kong about four times now and I love it there (maybe Hong Kong when things settle down). I haven’t gone to China yet but one day I will. Love your videos!
@@sofialongevity5601 Some people, whose parents are all Chinese, born overseas, say US, also can get Chinese passports. Based on the logic of your argument, the US "belonged to" China?
@@sofialongevity5601 It all started with nitpicking words like Macao "belong to", "governed by". Politicians only like to use the word "administer". Macao is a Chinese SAR (special administrative region). But we're not politicians , we should just use whatever words we like as long as people understand.
@@sofialongevity5601 I guess you mixed up the concepts "territory" and "colony". If a place is a piece of territory belonged to a country, the citizens there have political rights, like the right to be the supreme chief of the place or even the leader of the whole country. Nowadays, in Macau, a native Chinese have the right to be Chief Executive of the Macau, (indeed, Fernando Chui is a Chinese) or even the chairman of China, no matter how hard it is. However, when Macau was a colony of Portugal, the Governor of Macau can only be a Portuguese designated by Portugal. So residents in Macau from 1849-1999 even can't be called citizens at all, they were only miserable the colonized. Have you ever heard a Chinese Governor of Macau during this 150 years? It's more impossible for a Chinese to be a president of Portugal. And from the word "Governor", literally, you can see the attitude of Portugal gov: it thought Macau was only a colony for Portugal, because "Governor" is dedicated to "colony". So, to be more accurate, we say a "territory" belonged to a country, but a colony ruled by colonizers. After all, even "noble" colonists themselves felt sick to acknowledge that the a "humble" person in their colonies was one member among them, a compatriot, they only exploit benefit from people in colonies, but never share any rights or benefit with them.
@@sofialongevity5601 "Belong to" means Portugal got the sovereignty of Macau legally from some treaties like Treaty of Nanking, from which UK got sovereignty of HK. However, legally to speak, China suspended exercise of the sovereignty but never lose in the past 400 years. What Portugal got legally was administration power.
Wow, @Blondie in China, I thought you would have known that Macau was a former Portuguese colony. Left untouched during WWII as Portugal was neutral. It returned to China in 1999. Cheap wine is available there which is pretty cool (very expensive in other parts of China).
Macau is a mini Lisbon. Those two cities shares a lot of things in common. I really love the churches and Catholic art here! It's a perfect town for one who's interested in cultural heritage.
As usual loads of facts and figures squeezed into a lovely short video. Unlike going to Macau, your videos are never a gamble or needs luck because they are always a sure resounding win! :D
A-Ma（媽祖,goddess of the ocean)in different cities have different pronounce:most of them "Mā Ztǔ"，in Mei gong island in Fijian Provence,it is called "Ma Lhong". So in Macau(I mean in this city),called "Ma kao"(of course like "Macau").When the Portuguese came, they wanted to know what this place was called.But the fishing man could not understand that, he thought whether Portuguese wanted to know the name of Goddess. Then Portuguese heard " Macau ". In China has a song.The lyrics “你可知Macau，不是我真姓” explains it.
The reason there are so many jewellery stores on the same street even from the same brand, is because the jewelers wanted to rob the tourists first before the casinos robbed them. lol
I always knew the egg tarts were a part of Cantonese dim sum, but never knew it originated from the Portuguese influence. I understand the Portuguese like to burn the tops of the tarts a bit more than the Cantonese yum cha version.
Hello Amy, I am Brenda from Kenya currently in Beijing. Thank you so much for your videos. They really helped me in preparing for my trip to China (your App video especially)... Keep it up! PS: Please carry me along in one of your trips :-)
I just visited macau last August,and i swear that ill be back soon..4days tour was not enough to explore macau,💗loved your videos i can relate so much of it.
love your video. Where will you travel during the Mid-Autumn festival next week? It's a traditional festivel for eating mooncakes and fruits with family. Hope you enjoy your time.
I hate Hong Kong but love Macau, the Brits had made so much troubles before they left Hong Kong, but the Portuguese hadn't that's why Macau is so peaceful.
Macau was infested with triad fighting before it was handed over to the CCP which instilled order. The Portuguese administration were totally impotent since the 1967 riots.
As an Aussie living in Macau for 13 yrs, I say thx for the vid, Egg tarts are sold everywhere, however it would have been nice to see you buy the egg tart from where it was created at Lord Stowe's Bakery in Coloanne, they are generally known as the best.
oh the videos feel so raw and real. it feels like i was there again. i might try visiting the ruinas du sao paolo at night and the beautiful lisboa backdrop in the sky
Fun fact: Macau's Portuguese egg tarts are not the traditional pasteis de nata from Portugal but invented by a British pharmacist, Andrew Stow. That is why to try the best egg tarts in down you have to go to Lord Stow's Bakery!!!
Somewhat true. I would use the term "reinvented" tho. Because they still called it pastel de nata. Is just that the Portuguese original one keep their custard recipe a secret so he came up with his version of the custard.
Everyone in world reinvents the Pastel de Nata, it’s like pizza. But obviously they are still a version of Pastel de Nata, even in Portugal there’re many different recipes of Pastel de Nata. And the best Pastel de Nata in Macau is in Café de Nata
@@LHollan Exactly, even in Portugal, different regions have a different recipe for the egg custard filling, and they claim Belém's pastel to be one that stands out, so much that in Belém, a region of Portugal, they especially named it "pastel de Belém".
MACAU UA-camr here! Pin me! Let people know that I'm filming here in Macau regularly if they want to see more Macau youtube videos!! Love your work, Blondie in China, you have great content!!
I doubt there is much Portuguese ancestry in Macau. I also don't think Potugese cutlure is practiced in Macau anymore. I think the only remaining relic of Portugal in Macau is the architecture and the language perhaps.
David Johnson that is what people need to be know. I don't like people spread the GDP ranking around. It's meaningless. Macau has such small population and a huge gap between the wealth and the poor. And not to mention the inflation. There are so many facilities and policy need to be changed, improved in the society. Otherwise, all in all are just sugar coating.
@@DavidJohnson-dp4vv I am sure those who are poor are not actually citizens of Macau. With such wealth, the government benefit should be very good, I suppose.
@@DavidJohnson-dp4vv as to income inequality, nowhere in the rest of the world is worse than Hong Kong, while Macau has great welfare policies for its citizens. As a result, Macau's Gini coefficient(0.36) is much less than Hong Kong's(0.53).
Macau is great and I personally was born and raise in Macau but let me tell you, it is the most boring place ever and it is quite depressing to be brutally honest.
You have such a positive and great outlook..it definitely crosses over to all your vlogs. Stay Safe and Positive. Beautiful IS as Beauty DOES. I heard about the Portuguese Egg Tarts from Anming. This is Awesome footage of the city. Thanks for posting this. 🙇🏻♀️🔍❤️🙋🏻♀️🇺🇸🕊
Oh, we travelled there 2 weeks ago and the weather is so hot esp in the afternoon. Haha Thats why we decided to walk around in the night and it was so SAFE. All places you visited,we visit it also. It's so nice to see them again thru your vlog. 🥰🥰🥰
I find it suspiciously unbelievable that you did not know Macau was ruled by Portugal. You were studying in China for a few years, so I assume you are interested in Chinese culture and history, surely you would have read something about this. Second, you have traveled to many parts of the world, and you should be more interested in history , and should have came across this fact. Third, in the age of the Internet, who would go visit a place without checking for information on the internet? If you were to look up Macau on the internet, every article would have mentioned Portugal. And lastly, when you got off the boat in Macau, you surely had to go pass the immigration/custom checkpoint. That should have ring a bell. So I find it hard to believe you did not know this. You were either a very careless traveler, or you were lying. Just because you have blonde hair, it does not mean you have to act dumb.
Perhaps she was really trying to act dumb so that she can get the locals involved with the video. Like interviewing the hotel front desk clerk. Nice try, but it made her look stupid. I bet the clerk was thinking....damn no wonder they call them dumb blondes.

首先澳门并没有被殖民400多年，在明朝和清朝中前期，葡萄牙人在澳门只有居住权，1887年后才变成殖民地。
然后呢？我在疑惑为什么用了首先这个词，往下翻都翻不到其他了
@@samlai6365 他的首先是因为预感到你要说然后。。。

Curious to visit there 😊😊❤️❤️

I am from Macao. Glad to hear you love this city!! Welcome and hope you would come again!!
thanks!! I'll definitely come again!!
澳門的確是美麗，喜歡你玩得開心❤️❤️
waiting for you for longggggg time!love your video!
Don't go to Hong Kong recently.
Why?

Thank you, and welcome to Macau,excellent video!
Fun fact: Macau's Portuguese egg tarts are not the traditional pasteis de nata from Portugal but invented by a British pharmacist, Andrew Stow. That is why to try the best egg tarts in down you have to go to Lord Stow's Bakery!!!
Cedric Chan cool!! Never knew that! Thanks for sharing
Somewhat true. I would use the term "reinvented" tho. Because they still called it pastel de nata. Is just that the Portuguese original one keep their custard recipe a secret so he came up with his version of the custard.
Everyone in world reinvents the Pastel de Nata, it’s like pizza. But obviously they are still a version of Pastel de Nata, even in Portugal there’re many different recipes of Pastel de Nata. And the best Pastel de Nata in Macau is in Café de Nata
@@LHollan Exactly, even in Portugal, different regions have a different recipe for the egg custard filling, and they claim Belém's pastel to be one that stands out, so much that in Belém, a region of Portugal, they especially named it "pastel de Belém".
Such a great video! So energetic and professional!
Not to be an ass, but did you really not know that Macau was a Portuguese colony? Or was that just a bit for the video?
i was going to say that
I don't think many foreigners ever heard of Macau.
I'm interested in knowing too! Amy, tell us!
I am so happy that I can not only see the beauty of China, but also learn English with you.
MACAU UA-camr here! Pin me! Let people know that I'm filming here in Macau regularly if they want to see more Macau youtube videos!! Love your work, Blondie in China, you have great content!!
Awesome footage 👍🏻 super cool! Now I want to visit Macau 🇲🇴
Tail G glad you liked it!
just hope people of macao didnt caught zombie fever from hongkong....
Be honest, Macanese don't really wanna give a damn about what is happening in HK
The beauty about Macau is that they have worked hard to preserve their Portuguese ancestry and architecture. It's simply unique.
I doubt there is much Portuguese ancestry in Macau. I also don't think Potugese cutlure is practiced in Macau anymore. I think the only remaining relic of Portugal in Macau is the architecture and the language perhaps.
It’s fun in Macau but the cost to stay in good hotel is really expensive. 😑😑😑
Paddy Man yeah it’s an expensive city to stay in!! There are some inexpensive ones though!!
nice - i found the macau vid! loving this video!!!
Macau's GDP per capita ranks No.2 in the whole world
With a huge amount of inequality and lower average income than hong kong.
David Johnson that is what people need to be know. I don't like people spread the GDP ranking around. It's meaningless.
Macau has such small population and a huge gap between the wealth and the poor. And not to mention the inflation. There are so many facilities and policy need to be changed, improved in the society. Otherwise, all in all are just sugar coating.
@@h2x261 When 10% people make 1 million a year, and the rest make almost nothing. The GDP per capita becomes 100K+. That's Macao.
@@DavidJohnson-dp4vv I am sure those who are poor are not actually citizens of Macau. With such wealth, the government benefit should be very good, I suppose.
@@DavidJohnson-dp4vv as to income inequality, nowhere in the rest of the world is worse than Hong Kong, while Macau has great welfare policies for its citizens. As a result, Macau's Gini coefficient(0.36) is much less than Hong Kong's(0.53).
Just came back from Singapore. Macau looks just as clean and orderly.
ahhhhh I wanna go back to singapore!
小姐姐有去武汉的旅游计划么，武汉也挺好玩的\^O^/

澳门多好啊，丰衣足食，和内地互相尊重的基础上保持自己的特色。据说未来中央有可能把横琴直接划给澳门，地方大了就更好发展。
Macau really is stunning !
爱你 Amy. 如果所有澳大利亚人都像你这样对中国这样友好的话。我想这世界一定更加美好。

Don't recommend to visit Hong Kong these days, I know it's very close to Macau.

Hi Amy, Aussie living in Macau here. I can show you around next time you are in town. I will take you to parts of Macau where no tourists go.
You seriously didn’t know Macau was Portuguese before this trip??
Thanks for visiting my small city!!!! Love all ur editing and comments in this video!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Macau is great and I personally was born and raise in Macau but let me tell you, it is the most boring place ever and it is quite depressing to be brutally honest.
You come Macau for make Money nothing else, for have fun you take few h flight and you can visit all around Asia
Perhaps it's just because Macau really lack of entertainments but casinos
You have such a positive and great outlook..it definitely crosses over to all your vlogs. Stay Safe and Positive. Beautiful IS as Beauty DOES. I heard about the Portuguese Egg Tarts from Anming. This is Awesome footage of the city. Thanks for posting this. 🙇🏻♀️🔍❤️🙋🏻♀️🇺🇸🕊

Amazing vlog!! I love Macau😍
你可知macau，不是我真姓
一个芝麻糕，不吃我真行
Oh, we travelled there 2 weeks ago and the weather is so hot esp in the afternoon. Haha Thats why we decided to walk around in the night and it was so SAFE. All places you visited,we visit it also. It's so nice to see them again thru your vlog. 🥰🥰🥰
I find it suspiciously unbelievable that you did not know Macau was ruled by Portugal. You were studying in China for a few years, so I assume you are interested in Chinese culture and history, surely you would have read something about this. Second, you have traveled to many parts of the world, and you should be more interested in history , and should have came across this fact. Third, in the age of the Internet, who would go visit a place without checking for information on the internet? If you were to look up Macau on the internet, every article would have mentioned Portugal. And lastly, when you got off the boat in Macau, you surely had to go pass the immigration/custom checkpoint. That should have ring a bell. So I find it hard to believe you did not know this. You were either a very careless traveler, or you were lying. Just because you have blonde hair, it does not mean you have to act dumb.
Perhaps she was really trying to act dumb so that she can get the locals involved with the video. Like interviewing the hotel front desk clerk. Nice try, but it made her look stupid. I bet the clerk was thinking....damn no wonder they call them dumb blondes.
Wow, this vlog really provokes my nostalgia and I was working in the Grand Emperor Casino Hotel back many years ago. Thank you so much!
Henry Hou wow what was it like to work there?? It was soo fancy
Blondie in China well, it is a fancy place but I had enough to work there as an employee. Too shiny, that’s why I left. 😂 Thank u replying back to my comment.
