With the arrival of the May Day Golden Week, countless mainland tourists flock to Macau, known as the "Las Vegas of the East", looking forward to finding the legendary prosperity and exotic scenery on this international tourist island. However, when the lively festive atmosphere gradually faded, some tourists began to share their "disappointment" and "discomfort" on social media, and these real voices may be able to give us a new understanding of Macau, and at the same time, we can't help but sigh: it turns out that living in the mainland, we have a lot of unknowingly happiness.
Dense complexes with scarce green spaces
I have long heard that Macao's land resources are tight, but when I saw it with my own eyes, I really realized what it means to "have more people and less land". High-rise buildings are next to each other, walking in them, looking up and seeing only a glimmer of sky. Macau's parks and green spaces are scarce, and looking for a corner to relax and unwind can be a luxury. Such an environment can be a bit overwhelming for tourists who are accustomed to the spacious parks and squares of the mainland.
The shock of high prices
It's no secret that prices in Macau are four to five times higher than in the mainland. However, when it comes to actual spending, every expense is enough to be jaw-dropping. A simple fast food costs $200 per person, which is equivalent to a hearty meal in the mainland. Such a level of consumption is undoubtedly a big burden for ordinary tourists.
The singleness of the food variety
Macau's cuisine is known for its unique flavours, but after a long tasting session, mainland tourists find that the choice is not as rich as they think. Noodles and wontons have become a daily routine, lacking the diversity of the mainland diet. Those stomachs accustomed to the taste of home began to protest, thinking of the various snacks in the streets and alleys of the mainland.
The inconvenience of traveling
Despite Macau's relatively well-developed public transport system, taxis are a problem during rush hour. Even if you are lucky enough to get a taxi, the high fare is staggering. This is indeed inconvenient compared to the convenient ride-hailing services in the mainland.
Summary:
Behind the prosperity of Macau, there is another side of life. Of course, that's not to say that Macau isn't worth visiting, each with its own unique charm and lifestyle. However, through this trip, many mainland tourists have begun to re-examine the conveniences of their daily lives and realize the happiness of living in the mainland. Whether it is the spacious public space, or the affordability of the price, or the diversity of food, it is worth cherishing.
