We came to Macau expecting a casino city, but what we found was something completely different โ a unique blend of Chinese and Portuguese culture you can see, feel, and especially taste. From the historic streets of Old Macau to incredible local food, this place offers one of the most unique travel experiences in Asia.
And we couldnโt have come at a better timeโฆ
Macau is officially recognized by UNESCO as a Creative City of Gastronomy, and we experienced the Macau International Gastronomy Festival, where flavors from around the world come together in one place.
In this Macau travel vlog, we explore:
โ Old Macau & Portuguese heritage
โ Traditional Macanese food
โ The UNESCO Gastronomy Festival
โ Local culture & hidden spots
โ And of courseโฆ the famous Macau casinos
This is one of the most unique places weโve visited โ and definitely not what we expected.

We came to Macau expecting casinosโฆ and left thinking about the culture and food ๐
This place is way more than what people usually talk about.
๐ What surprised you the most in this video โ the Chinese-Portuguese mix or the food?
Great video! What a beautiful mix of cultures and food ๐คค
Please come back to China again,we welcome to youโคโคโคโคโค๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น
This was such a great vlog, I've always heard this place was a giant hub for big Chinese gamblers and BIG money spent. I really just imagined to be more like Vegas; it was really cool to see the true character of Macao. Thanks for sharing.
I had no idea this placed had so much Portuguese influence. I absolutely love the style. Eager to hear more about that hybrid language. Is it true?
I didnโt know Macao is recognized by UNESCO as a Creative City of Gastronomy ๐
That gastronomy festival looked amazingโฆ so many different foods in one place ๐คค definitely adding this to my list!
Very beautiful, clean and good energy it seems around โบ๏ธ
Itโs the Macanese language. Just like every region in China has their own regional language but mandarin is the main language of China.
Macau's revenue is now double that of Las Vegas.
Vegas has basically peaked back when, no growth, whereas Asian economies are all growing rapidly.
Have you tried Portuguese egg tart? I love it so much

Love your vedio and two of you too!๐ ๐ ๐ ๐๐๐
"never say never" – ๐- appreciate what you are sharing, i know its lotsa work even though you're having fun!
26:07 hello Saudi Arabia here itโs been a pleasure meeting you guys , canโt wait until you come visit us.
Canโt wait to host you in Saudi Arabia
Weโre taking this experience to a whole different level
The statue is the goddess of the sea. As Macau was a fishing port, fishermen want blessing from the statue which is known as โ`Guan Yin.โ.
I had never heard of this place before, but after your video I was very surprised, a very, very interesting place. I really like your videos, keep it up, you are very good
Love how you captured the real spirit of Macau,feels like Iโm right there with you on the adventure! Totally worth visiting it!๐คฉ
Wow, such an interesting place to visit! I've never thought it would be this diverse ๐ ๐
Cantonese is the local, dominant, and native language spoken in everyday life by over 80% of the population in Macau. It is the de facto official Chinese language used in government, media, and education, sharing a similar status to its role in Hong Kong.

Key details about language in Macau include:
Dominance: Over 85% of people in Macau use Cantonese in daily life.
Official Languages: The official languages are Chinese (Cantonese) and Portuguese.
Macau Cantonese: The Cantonese spoken in Macau is almost the same as that in Hong Kong and Guangzhou (the origin of the language), though it has minor differences in accent, vocabulary, and some unique local expressions.
Portuguese: Although an official language, Portuguese is spoken as a first language by a small minority (about 0.6%โ2.3% of the population).
Mandarin: Mandarin is used for official business with mainland China and is increasingly understood, especially among the younger generation, due to tourism and education.
Written System: Like Hong Kong, Macau uses Traditional Chinese characters rather than the Simplified Chinese used in mainland China.
You are so kind. You reply to every message, even helping to smooth things over for some not-so-friendly or controversial comments. But no matter what, your own experience is the most important. At the same time, I really enjoy watching your videos! I hope you have a great time in China!
