For me who travels a lot, I can't help but be attracted to local tourist landmarks whenever I go to a place. There are poetic mountains and lakes, rich heritage sites, and of course, some ingenious modern buildings. Just like this trip to Macau, I admired Coloane, one of the eight scenic spots in Macau, visited the Historic Centre of Macau, which has been inscribed on the World Heritage List, and of course, I also checked out Macau's high-profile integrated resorts, including the Grand Lisboa Integrated Resort, which highlights the essence of Chinese and Western cultures.
Grand Lisboa Integrated Resort is located in the prime location of Macau's famous emerging development area, Cotai, adjacent to the famous Macau East Asian Games Stadium, and only a 10-minute drive from the airport and port. It is another glorious legend of Macao's landmark "Lisboa" brand, which not only takes several years to take the theme of "East meets West", but also invests nearly 30 billion yuan, is a large-scale comprehensive resort integrating the world's top hotel accommodation, high-end special dining and food, fashion brand shopping and other diversified entertainment and leisure under Macao Entertainment Complex, is the first resort in Macao's Cotai area, and is also one of the most representative tourist landmarks in Macao.
The design of the resort is inspired by magnificent European palace-like buildings such as the Palace of Versailles, and then uses new modern techniques to integrate traditional Chinese culture on the basis of Western architectural design, especially the ingenious modern Chinese style decoration, as well as the addition of traditional Chinese cultural patterns such as dragons and phoenixes, lotus flowers, and paper fans that symbolize good luck, which are not only beautiful and magnificent overall, but also pleasing to the eye and elegant in the details, giving people a full of artistic and cultural atmosphere.
The hotel is the biggest highlight within the resort. There are three hotel towers with a total of nearly 2,000 rooms, each with its own entrance, which not only blends Chinese elements with European architecture, but also has luxurious personality and extraordinary taste inside. Among them are the five-star Grand Lisboa Hotel, which blends Chinese and Western art and highlights Macau's local culture and history, Asia's first Versace-themed luxury hotel, and the Carl Lagerfeld Hotel, which was designed by the late Galeries Lafayette Chanel himself. And each hotel room is luxuriously decorated and fully equipped, coupled with thoughtful service, it can be described as a wonderful experience.
The European-style green Shengjing Garden in the park and the gorgeous metal dome located in front of the double steps of the Grand Lisboa Auditorium, which is the finishing touch of the resort's architecture, are also romantic and beautiful scenery features in the resort. In addition, the resort also has a number of leisure and entertainment facilities such as the Dream Garden themed Shangpinhui Shopping Center, restaurants and restaurants with popular brands.
And for a veteran foodie, the favorite is the food here. There is a "taste appreciation" of authentic Portuguese cuisine, a "Huating Pavilion" that highlights the glamour of old Shanghai, a "tea house" with a variety of famous teas, and the "Buffet Mountain" that offers a variety of "made-to-order" dishes.
Buffet Hill is a special and popular buffet restaurant located on the 3rd floor of Grand Lisboa, Macau, known as the longest buffet counter in Asia, which is the largest buffet in Macau. In addition to the spacious and warm dining environment, warm and attentive service staff, there is also the first outdoor barbecue in Macau buffet, and the most attractive diversified cuisine. There are 18 themed food zones where guests can enjoy more than 600 "made-to-order" international cuisines. In particular, the variety of fresh, high-quality seafood is most popular with customers.
