Global Glamour: A Photographer’s Journey on Macao’s International Cotai Strip

全球魅力：摄影师澳门国际路氹城之旅

Macao is a special administrative region of China and therefore follows a different set of rules than the mainland of China. Fortunately, I had a chance to take a 2 day, one night trip to Macao over the Lunar New Year holiday to enjoy a slice of Macao. The weather was incredible and the scenery was stunningly beautiful to observe!

澳门是中国的一个特别行政区，因此遵循与中国大陆不同的规则。幸运的是，我在农历新年假期期间有机会去澳门进行了为期两天一夜的旅行，享受澳门的一片美好。天气非常好，景色美得令人惊叹！

Today’s blog will focus on the Cotai Strip in Macao during the daytime, a great demonstration of the modern side of Macao as well as a cultural fusion. The Cotai strip is a vibrant area well known as the “Las Vegas of Asia”. It features a stunning array of world-class casinos, luxurious hotels and upscale shopping centres that cater towards international visitors. It is a cultural melting pot, blending in Eastern and Western influences in terms of its architecture, cuisine and attractions. Visitors can enjoy spectacular shows, gourmet dining and unique cultural experiences. But what did I visit for? Well, of course to take photos of the lovely area of Cotai.

今天的博客将聚焦于澳门路氹城白天的景象，这里完美地展示了澳门现代化的一面以及文化融合。路氹城是一个充满活力的区域，被誉为“亚洲的拉斯维加斯”。这里拥有世界级的赌场、豪华的酒店和高档的购物中心，吸引了众多国际游客。路氹城是一个文化熔炉，其建筑、饮食和景点都融合了东西方的影响。游客可以欣赏到壮观的表演、享受美食和体验独特的文化。但我去那里是为了什么呢？当然是为了拍摄这片美丽的区域。

This amazing place not only offers luxurious accommodations and exciting entertainment but also gives visitors a taste of British culture right in the middle of Macao.

澳门伦敦人是一个极好的酒店和娱乐综合体，将伦敦的魅力带到了澳门。其建筑风格受议会大厦和大本钟等著名地标的启发。建筑物具有经典的英国设计风格，有优雅的拱门、宏伟的柱子和精致的外墙细节。这些复杂的细节和独特的风格让人感觉仿佛置身伦敦的中心（或至少他们是这样说的）。这个令人惊叹的地方不仅提供奢华的住宿和激动人心的娱乐，还让游客在澳门中部感受到英国文化的魅力。
