Macau China Travel Information

Macau Travel Guide

Macau is a tiny Chinese territory that is about 28 square kilometers in size. It is composed of a main island, a small peninsula and an airport island. The small island was once two small islands named Ilha de Taipa and Ilha de Coloane, but they were connected by a strip of landfill. The area of landfill is where the biggest new casinos are being built. Land is still being added there. The airport was built about 2 kilometers or a mile and a half east of the small island on landfill. It is basically a straight and narrow artificial island with an airstrip. Macau has become Asia’s international gambling city, and it is considered the biggest gambling center in the world, with gambling revenues bigger than the Las Vegas Strip. It is one of the top 20 tourist destinations in the world. Several major Las Vegas casino companies have casinos and hotels here, and more are being built. So this little territory is the fastest growing territory in the world, growing faster than any other country or territory. The GDP grew about 13 percent in 2008. Along with gambling, the city’s attractions are old buildings, the Macau Great Prix race, concerts and shows, some museums, and beaches. more about Macau »

Hi, this is Jane, I''m glad to serve you; It is warm during this time in Macau and HongKong, and the average temperature during the day is 22 °C (71.6 °F). A T-shirt with long sleeves may be the best choice for you to stay comfortable. You''d be better to put on a sweater at night to stay warm as the temperature may drop a little.

Q
is the month of march is right time to visit. can we wear shorts and sleeveless

Hi Vijay,

Thank you for your inquiry.

Regarding your inquiry about March in Macau, actually, Macau is not a big city, and the weather will not affect the visit a lot. March is the Spring of Macau, and it is a good time to visit there; however, shorts and sleeveless might be a little bit "too cool" to wear, a T-shirt with long sleeves may be the best choice for you to stay comfortable, and please prepare some sweater for the cold at night.

By the way, the rainy season of Macau extends from April to September, and during this period the island is victim to typhoons. Typhoon season extends from April to October. Please avoid to travel there at those time.

Hope it helps.

Please feel free to let me know if there is anything that we can assist you for your Macau trip.

Wish you a nice day!

If you have just 3 days including the transfer to and from Hongkong, I think you don''t have time for Macau, you can only visit Hong Kong, it will take you around US$1500 for two , accomodation was included.

Dear Catherine,

Thanks for your question. According to last year data, the average temperature is around 9℃ to 20℃ in Zhuhai, Macau and Hong Kong. Sweaters are needed for most days and occasional chills make coats necessary. It doesn’t snow in Hong Kong and frost is very rare.

If you need tours in Zhuhai, Macau and Hong Kong, please feel free contact me at nancy@chinahighlights.com any time.
