My sister came back to Taiwan for the Chinese New Year and we decided to spend the last days of the holiday in Macau and Hong Kong. After arrived Hong Kong International Airport, we took the ferry directly to Macau. We visited Macau’s Fisherman’s Wharf in the afternoon then took the free shuttle bus to visit the Venetian hotel. After dinner, we took a stroll around the casinos at the Macau Peninsula.
