This is my 3rd trip to Macau. Nothing much has changed, except more new major Hotels coming up and the Fisherman's Wharf has finally opened. Although, to our chagrin, we found out the hard way that the shops in Fisherman's Wharf only open at 12 noon! Although many major Hotels like Wynns, Sands, Crown, Venetian have opened, and more upcoming projects like Hard Rock and St. Regis are under construction, most of Macau has not really caught up with the concept of tourism, and especially, mass tourism.
Admittedly, most tourists go to Macau for the casinos. However, the main tourist sight at St. Paul's ruins, although has an abundance of retail shops, does not have a wide choice of F&B outlets. Their widely acclaimed 'most important temple', the A-Ma Temple and Village, was nothing more than, well, a temple. To quote my Aunt, "it looks just like the temple in Kajang."
