The Venetian Macau Casino and Hotel

The Venetian Macau Casino and Hotel

Now for my favorite part of our whole Hong Kong and Macau Tour! I actually like to explore historical places better than going through themed attractions. I feel more at home walking through old streets and districts. We woke up very early that morning to catch the ferry to Macau at 7:15am in Hong Kong’s Macau Ferry Terminal.

Ocean Park Hong Kong

Ocean Park Hong Kong

We proceeded to our next destination, the famed Ocean Park Hong Kong after our tour of Hong Kong’s Victoria Peak. I was so looking forward to this place since the only other theme park I’ve visited so far was Disneyland Hong Kong, which I’m not the biggest fan of, and Enchanted Kingdom, which pales in comparison to a theme park of Ocean Park Hong Kong’s size.

A Day in Hong Kong Disneyland and Fireworks Photos at the Castle

A Day in Hong Kong Disneyland and Fireworks Photos at the Castle

I didn’t think the visit to Disneyland Hong Kong was the most exciting part of our Hong Kong and Macau trip. My siblings were much more enthusiastic than I am. Don’t get me wrong, Disneyland is one of the most sought after destinations in the world for a reason. It’s a fun place where kids can visit fantasyland and where adults have the chance relive their childhood.
