Some place's name has it's origin ,for  example ,Macau .

Macau's name is derived from A-Ma-Gau or Bay of A-Ma and this temple dedicated to the seafarers' goddess dates from the early 16th century. According to legend, A-Ma, a poor girl looking for passage to Canton, was refused by the wealthy junk owners but a lowly fisherman took her on board. A storm blew up and wrecked all but the boat carrying the girl. On arrival in Macau she vanished, to reappear as a goddess, on the spot where the fishermen built her temple.
 
It consists of prayer halls, pavillions and courtyards built into the boulder-strewn hill and connected by winding paths through moon gates and tiny gardens. At the entrance is a large rock on which is engraved a traditional sailing junk. On other boulders are carved red characters invoking the gods or repeating a prayer. Three of the four pavillions are dedicated to A-Ma and contain some fine statues of the goddess together with a model of a junk with cannons, brass vessels and chapels to Buddhist and Taoist gods. The top shrine honours Kun Iam. This temple is distinguished by beautiful tiled roofs and spectacular views from the upper gardens. The festival of A-Ma takes place on the 23rd day of the 3rd moon (April or May).

 by bus ,taxi or on foot,Macau peninsula is quite small.

The Venetian Macau opened its doors and gambling tables back at the end of 2007, and within 17 days they had already gained one million visitors. When you first roll up to the magnificent hotel tower it is easy to see why. This place is stupidly gigantic, in a good way.

As apparently the second-largest building in the world the 10.5 million square foot resort includes 3’000 grandly designed suites (with an average size of 750 square feet), 1.2 million square feet of convention space, 1.6 million square feet of retail, a 15,000 seat arena, and the largest casino in the world (550,000 square feet).

Statistical facts aside, this place has now become one of Macau’s landmark attractions and it is the by far the nicest hotel in the region. The arena has already held some of the most momentous events in the region; playing host to the Black Eyed Peas, Beyoncé, Linkin Park, Lady Gaga, and even an exclusive one-off match between Pete Sampras and Roger Federer. The interior of the resort is like an adult Disneyland complete with a replica of the Grand Canal in Venice including the gondolas and singing gondoliers as well. There are also more than 350 shops around the Venetian streetscape, which even has realistic-looking indoor sky (to keep the insomniac gamblers happy). With its lofty arched roofs, marble floors, elaborate murals, fountains, and gold statues; the casino and the lobby grandly reproduce noble Italian architecture. With its aristocratic vibe and classy approach, this massive place is changing the face of Macau and one only needs to pay a visit to find out why.

A day sightseeing in the Portuguese/Chinese melting pot of Macau, finished off by a visit to two of it's most iconic and extravagant casinos. Leaving at 8:00, returning about 23:30.

I will pick you up from your hotel around 08:00, to catch a ferry at 09:00 to Macau. This trip takes about an hour, plus some time to clear immigration.

The island showcases a great mix of Chinese and Portuguese culture and architecture. Main sights include the Guia Fortress and Lighthouse, Ruins of St. Paul's, Monte Fort, Senado Square, St Lawrence Church and A-Ma Temple. Somewhere on the road we will have lunch in a local restaurant.

In the afternoon we will visit the Macau Tower for a bird's eye view all over Macau, after which we take a bus to end the day in Taipa village.

Finally it is time to visit two of the most extravagant casino complexes: the Venetian Macau and the City of Dreams, both at a stone's throw from Taipa village. We will have our dinner here, and enjoy the various shops and entertainment they offer. Note that gambling is completely optional. Children under 18 may not enter the gambling zones.

About 21:30 we'll have the ferry back to Hong Kong, to return to your hotel by 23:30.
