Macau Tower is located in Macau, a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China. Macau was a Portuguese colony until 1999. Construction on the tower started in 1998, after a visit by Macau businessman Dr. Stanley Ho Hung-Sun to the Sky Tower in Auckland, New Zealand. He was so impressed with the Sky Tower, he decided he’d like to build one like it in Macau!
At 338m, Macau Tower looms above the narrow isthmus of land southeast of Avenida da República. You can stay put on the observation decks on the 58th and 61st floors, or challenge yourself to some gravity-defying sport: the tower hosts a climbing wall, a bungee platform (said to be the highest commercial bungee jump in the world), a sky walk around the rim of the tower and more.
We had a terrific lunch buffet at the 360° Cafe Revolving Restaurant on the 60/F for MOP 308 where we enjoyed authentic Portuguese dishes such as roasted suckling pig and Pastéis de Bacalhau (Salt Cod Fritters) , not to mention the bird’s eye view of the Macau Peninsula and Taipa, as well as neighbouring Zhuhai. After a wonderful buffet, we had a walk around the indoor and outdoor observation decks and watched several people bungee jump.
Overall speaking, a great way to officially start our adventure in Macau!
