Macau
"Us Macau people like festivals and have many of them,"said a Macau resident. When asked about which festival is the most important, the resident replied, "The Spring Festival, of course. We are all Chinese."

It is definitely a good choice to spend the Spring Festival in Macau. "During the Spring Festival, Macau is neither cold nor hot, and it is not noisy. The city has maintained many New Year customs and food traditions.
Tourists can stroll around the city or take buses to places of interest, which is very affordable. They can visit churches, the A-Ma Temple, flower fairs and museums, or eat pork chop buns or hot pot. In summary, you can feel the Chinese atmosphere with international elements".

Statistics showed that Macau, with a population of over 600,000 people, received more than 28 million tourists last year. The Macau Government Tourist Office recently said that it will pay great attention to deepening its tourism market, developing cultural tourism products, and carrying out major festival celebrations, in order to increase the number of tourists.
