DSC00084. An exciting point of my recent trip to Macau was my visit to Macau Tower, At 338 meters, it is on the world list as one of the highest towers, even taller than the Eiffel Tower in Paris (324 m). The Macau Tower is one of the peninsula's more famous landmarks and has been shown as a background in a number of movies. Going up Macau Tower cost HK$100.

My first look at The Venetian Macao – faux Venice of the Far East
DSC00047. The Venetian Macao Resort-Hotel was AWESOME. It's a must-see when you're in the territory because it's the latest attraction there.
