What’s Great About Macau? Casinos, Hotels And Macau Tower!

Flashy Macau casinos and climatic traditions buildings are what many people have in mind when considering Macau, however the city's very most popular image and traveler destination is literally the Macau Tower, that was constructed way back at the start of the 2000s and had nearly over night turned into one of Macau main destinations.

Macau Tower came over to the planet about the turn of the centuries, shortly after the city's casino-mogul, Dr. Stanley Ho, headed to Auckland, New Zealand around 1998 and found its then new inaugurated tower. The billionaire came with almost promptly thought he is intending to construct a quite similar tower in Macau, by having just one difference. The one he aimed to construct was getting to be much bigger.

Beca Group, the similar engineering organization which took care of Auckland Tower, was offered the job, and in the end of 2001, shortly after 3 years of development and an extensive financial investment, the tower was opened up to the community.

Basing on an area of reclaimed property at the most southern tip of the Macau Peninsula, Macau Tower rises up to an elevation of 338 meters over ground and is among the world's highest free standing buildings.

Quite expectedly, sensational sights are exactly what many tourists come to Macau Tower. Certainly there are 2 monitoring decks at the tower: the outdoor deck is perched at a height of 233 meter above ground and the much higher of the two, while the major observation deck is slightly lower 223 meter above ground, however although its lacking in height, it builds up for with a glass floor that makes you feel like you have dizziness.

Each outdoor deck provide spectacular sights of Macau and its environments and on a clear day you can see as far as the outlying islands of Hong Kong, more than 50 kilometers away.

Macau Tower flaunts a fantastic revolving restaurant, called the 360 Cafe, where you can indulge on a lovely buffet dinner, while enjoying the gorgeous cityscape. The chef prepares a variety of authentic Portuguese, Chinese, Macanese and Indian specialties that nicely reflect the ethnic and cultural diversity of this charming city.

Macau Tower is also the right place for those of you who want to test their nerves and fear of height. Other than priding itself as the current location of the world's highest bungee jump, the tower is also one of the only places on earth where you can actually climb on the mast, all the way to the very top. Other mind-boggling activities you can try here include walking around the outer rim of the tower with no handrails, or the "Sky jump". All you need is a strong heart and a wallet full of cash, as masochism doesn't come cheap, consider it or not.
