Hi guys, do you have a recommendation where to have a skin allergy test here in Macau? I’m searching on google and it suggest HK which means I need to travel an hours. Hoping you guys can drop some. Sharing is caring. Thank you!
Trying to buy the OnePlus buds pro 3 but I can't find them anywhere. Taobao ones have a 25% markup price compare to the price listed on official store website. Any advice are welcome thank you.
Is it possible for me to go to 橫琴 from university or Macau? Google map shows bus 71 can cross over, but I can't tell how accurate it is.
Is there a new way to get there from the light rail station close to 媽閣?
I have a booking I won’t used. Paid >850 USD for room… willing to give for cheap as I can’t cancel. Hotel confirmed it will officially change guest name so no problems on check in.
Any takers?
are there any bars/speakeasys that are open until 3-4am both in taipa or macau?
Hi, I am here for business trip and hotel I booked has abysmal wifi speed so I am trying to book a different hotel.
It seems that slow wifi is fairly common based on reviews, even big hotels with casinos I was only getting 20mb or so.
Any hotel or sim card recommendation to get speed of 50mb or higher would be appreciated.
Will be travelling with my business partners to Zhuhai for the upcoming Airshow in Zhuhai. We will have a night stay at Macau since we will be landing at Macau and we will travel the next day morning to Zhuhai.
How is the weather like at the moment? I figure that Zhuhai and Macau is very similar in terms of food wise? As they are close to each other? Any good food / bar to visit at Zhuhai if there's any.
Mainly going there to enjoy and meet new people, what is the latest app that people use to meet new people?
Hope to get some insights as im there just to chill and have fun while visiting for the Airshow (working, networking)
I waited too long to be able to book a pre-booked taxi slot to get me to the bridge bus to get to my flight out of the country this coming Wednesday, at HKIA at 12:25pm. Even worse, it's the day before the Grand Prix races start so it's even harder to find transport. I'm coming out of the Senado Square area. I have a single check in luggage and a single rolling carry on bag. I think these might be my options to leave from Macau to HK - are there any other ways to do this? Do you have any advice on any of these ways to do it?
I am thinking if I am hailing a cab from 7am I might be able to get to the bridge by 8am hopefully
How frequently do the regular taxis go around the area?
How likely are they to actually stop when hailed?
I heard that they don't like stopping for people with luggage. Do taxi cabs would even have space for this in their trunk?
When does rush hour during the weekday start?
Google maps shows this bus as being FAST, and that it can get from around the Senado Square area to the bridge port in less than half an hour. I know the bus rolls around in a loop all around Macau and I can get to a stop. But is there any space on this bus for a rolling luggage? I worry about hauling both baggages up the typical steps.
I heard a rumor that the vip fare between Macau and HK includes ground transportation from your address to the ferry, and that this service is something like 600 patacas. I am having some trouble locating where I can book this if it is true
If none of this works, I'm looking into finding a cheap room (sub 600 patacas) that's near a direct bus or train to the airport. Suggestions for this would be welcome

Hey guys,
I'm flying from USA to India via Hong Kong and have a ~12 hour stopover on the 26th of November. I competed the Pre Arrival Registration for entry to Hong Kong, but I got rejected (probably due to where my Indian Passport was issued). I can't even get a visitor visa on such short notice. As a result, I'm looking into going to Macau from the Hong Kong Airport. Is it possible to circumvent HK immigration both ways so I may spend my stopover in Macau?

Hello, My wife, 1 year old, and I were at the hotel elevator this morning st 9am and there was a man and a girl just waiting for people at the elevator.
They were asking which floor we stay at and where we were from. We didn't really respond with any information and got out on the 2nd floor lounge area. But thought it was really weird. Do anyone know what scam they were trying to pull? My wife is worried they want to kidnap the baby.
Hi everyone!
I am looking to get some help planning my trip to Macau as an NZ Citizen. I have a layover arriving in Hong Kong International Airport 4:20 PM Jan 31 2025 and then leaving to my next destination Feb 1 4:15 PM.
In my head I plan to go through Hong Kong immigration, drop off my suitcase at a bag storage in the airport and travel around with a back pack.
Make my way to Macau and check in at one of the cheaper hotels in the Ponte 16 area. Look at the attractions there and grab a meal (looking for suggestions)
Visit the Cotai Strip and have a play around in the casinos and touring the area.
Leave the next morning to Hong Kong, eat at Kam’s Roast Goose and then do shopping of some kind if time allows (suggestions please) and then try to be back at the airport around 2PM.
My questions are:
If this plan sounds feasible or if there is a better way to do this?
When and where would I go through immigration, is it at the ports and will I need to do this before I can go on the HZMB busses (what is the process)?
The time I visit will be Chinese New Year apparently, so do I need to account for shops being closed and will there be different schedules for transport and stores?
And currency wise, should I carry HKD, Patacas, both and how much would be a reasonable budget?
Just any other tips, suggestions or advice you have as well :)
Thanks to all those that can help me, really appreciate it!!
Hi friends:
Earlier this year I saw a Butterball (US) turkey at the Park N Shop in Taipa, and I made a mental note to come back and buy it and put in the freezer but it was of course gone quickly.
I've been hunting different shops but not finding anything similar since.
Hoping to find either a whole turkey or large turkey breast in the next couple of weeks - anyone here have suggestions on where to look?
just came back from Beijing, I'm trying to buy stuff for my new apartment in Macao. But every time I click something, anything even. The same thing happens, they won't let me buy it because it doesn't ship to Macao. How can I filter out products that ship to Macao and Taobao?
I am so tired of clicking on something and then find out it doesn't ship here. Somebody help! Are there other apps better for e-shopping than Taobao? I would go explore more, but because I work 6 days week l don't have that much time.
What are your recommendations for best massage places?
I would like to know where in Taipa I can get a proper Chinese massage, the one where they check your tongue, pulse etc and say "oh, you have too much wind in your body" :P If you already know the price too then this would be perfect.
Anywhere in Macau I can get traditional 車輪鮑 raisin bread?
Sunny old streets
