#May Good Places 2025 #Macau 2049 #Combination of Art and Technology #Super Audiovisual #Worth the Price #MGM Macau Theater Stepping into the MGM Macau Theater, watching "Macau 2049" directed by Zhang Yimou, is like opening a door through time and space. This is not just a performance, but also a deep look back at the 5,000-year-old Chinese civilization, while boldly looking forward to the future of technology and art intertwined. What amazed me most about the performance was the perfect fusion of intangible cultural heritage art and cutting-edge technology. We saw the desolation of Northwest Flowers and the shocking "Drum Shadow" with precise dancing of robotic arms, the melodious Mongolian Humming and the ethereal artistic conception of virtual and real interweaving, and eight precious intangible cultural heritage forms such as Peking Opera, Miao ancient songs, northern Yangko, Chinese lion dance, Shaanxi storytelling, with the support of modern technologies such as holographic projection, CNC machinery, laser lighting, showing unprecedented vitality and appeal. Director Zhang Yimou is indeed a visual master. His use of light, shadow, color and stage scheduling has reached a superb level. The transition of each scene is smooth and natural, and the visual effect is breathtaking. For example, in "Beautiful Lion·Light", the interaction between the CNC lion sculpture and light and shadow elevates the power and charm of traditional lion dance to a new dimension, which makes people marvel at the infinite possibilities of data algorithms and stage aesthetics. "Macau 2049" breaks the boundaries of traditional theater. The 80-minute performance is like a carefully choreographed cultural journey, which not only immerses the audience in the visual splendor, but also inspires the thinking of cultural inheritance and innovation in the soul. It proves that the ancient cultural treasures can still shine brightly and communicate with the future under the empowerment of modern technology. In short, "Macau 2049" is an art feast that cannot be missed. It is not just "watching" the performance, but also "feeling" the culture and "experiencing" innovation. I strongly recommend all friends who visit Macau to experience this shocking collision of technology and art in person!

Macau, often dubbed the “Las Vegas of the East,” is a unique travel destination that seamlessly blends Portuguese colonial history with Chinese traditions. Whether you’re visiting for its luxurious casinos, rich cultural heritage, or delicious food, Macau has something to offer every kind of traveler. ⸻ Getting There Macau is easily accessible by air, ferry, and even road from mainland China. The Macau International Airport (MFM) handles flights from major Asian cities, while ferries from Hong Kong take about an hour. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge also allows for quick access from Hong Kong and mainland China. ⸻ Things to Do 1. Explore the Historic Center of Macau (UNESCO Site) Macau was a Portuguese colony for over 400 years, and its historic center is a testament to that past. The blend of European and Chinese influences is evident in the architecture, streets, and culture. • Ruins of St. Paul’s – The most famous landmark of Macau. Though only the façade remains, it stands as a symbol of the city’s colonial past. • Senado Square – A lively area with cobblestone streets and colorful European-style buildings. A great place for shopping and food. • A-Ma Temple – A Taoist temple dedicated to Mazu, the sea goddess, dating back to the 15th century. 2. Experience the Casinos Macau is a global gambling hub, rivaling Las Vegas in revenue. The casinos are massive, luxurious, and filled with entertainment. • The Venetian Macau – One of the largest casinos in the world, featuring Venice-inspired canals, gondolas, and luxury shopping. • Galaxy Macau – A multi-billion-dollar resort with a wave pool, luxury hotels, and high-end shopping. • Grand Lisboa – An iconic golden tower with a mix of traditional and modern design, known for its gaming and fine dining. 3. Visit Taipa and Coloane Macau consists of two main islands—Taipa and Coloane—both offering a different side of the city. • Taipa Village – A charming area filled with Portuguese heritage, street food, and colonial-style buildings. Try Macanese egg tarts and pork chop buns here! • Coloane – A quieter side of Macau with green hills, beaches, and a relaxed vibe. Hac Sa Beach is famous for its black sand. 4. Macau Tower – For Thrill Seekers The Macau Tower offers breathtaking views of the city and extreme sports activities like: • Skywalk – Walk around the edge of the tower with nothing but a harness. • Bungee Jumping – The world’s highest commercial bungee jump at 233 meters! 5. Try Macanese Cuisine Macau’s food is a delicious fusion of Portuguese and Chinese flavors. Some must-try dishes: • Portuguese Egg Tarts – Flaky pastry with creamy custard filling. Best from Lord Stow’s Bakery. • Minchi – A home-style minced beef or pork dish with potatoes and rice. • African Chicken – A spicy, coconut-based chicken dish influenced by Portuguese colonial trade. #2024mapped #macau

My friend recommended me to watch "Macau 2049" at MGM Theater in Macau. I thought it was just an ordinary show, but after watching it, I was amazed 🤩: This is not a show, this is a live broadcast of the future world! The stage not only features performances with rich cultural heritage, such as Mongolian throat singing, Miao folk songs, Peking opera, and lion dance, but also incorporates technological elements such as robotic arms and holographic images, directly turning traditional art into a sci-fi experience 👍 Especially the "robot grandma," who can dance with the actors. Who can resist this? Every scene is novel and fun 🥳 The whole show is like a journey through civilization and the future, with each program full of imagination and surprises, definitely worth the ticket price! PS: Before the show, you can visit the "Zhang Yimou Studio," which has a special exhibition of "Macau 2049," where you can learn about the behind-the-scenes stories of the show in advance. There are also many unique sets, and every photo you take is a masterpiece‼️ If you are planning a trip to Macau, I highly recommend a "Future Art Journey" to Zhang Yimou Studio + "Macau 2049" to experience the double shock from behind the scenes to the stage.

When the curtain of "Macau 2049" slowly opens, a man from northwest China stands on the stage, and the high-pitched northwest folk song strikes the heart. The drum sounds, and the "robot grandma" dances with humans. AI brings a new technological revolution. Can it coexist peacefully with humans or will it fight with them? Is AI an enhanced reality or an illusory future? The imaginative design and impactful images are shocking, and the audience is left with some thoughts about life and the world. Throat singing is a unique and magical singing art, a way for the ancestors of the Mongolian Plateau to communicate with nature. They believe that everything has a spirit. When the low, deep, high-pitched, and long sound echoes throughout the theater, I seem to hear the response and confession of nature. The wonderful performance is full of climaxes, making it hard to take your eyes off it. The ethereal Miao song conveys emotions and sings the legend and glory of the Miao family; the classic "Three Forks" martial arts drama interprets the essence of Peking Opera to the extreme; the robot twists the big Yangko dance without losing, only the joy of harvest is written on the face; the Yi men and women in traditional costumes sing love songs, which is the most romantic expression of love; the lion dance is not only a performance or celebration, but also a display of courage and wisdom. The final climax is [Shaanbei storytelling], folk legends, historical smoke, and worldly customs... Three strings, one embroidered mouth, tell the story of the past. There is no tragedy in Shaanbei storytelling, which is the heroism and idealism created by the optimistic, heroic, and fearless spirit of Shaanbei farmers. This coincides with the spirit of Macau, and the thousand-year history and vicissitudes of life have not changed the blood and courage of Macau. It has been 25 years since Macau's return. What will the next 25 years be like? What miracles will Macau, which leads the avant-garde culture, create? "Macau 2049," which is being performed at the MGM Theater in Macau, combines Chinese traditional culture and modern technology to create a magical future world and showcase a Macau with "Chinese culture as the mainstream and multicultural coexistence" to the world. There is no limit to human imagination and creativity...

MGM Macau also simultaneously presents the heavyweight art exhibition "Super Metaphysics: The Art of Hsiao Chin", which reinterprets the works of the late Chinese abstract art master Hsiao Chin using innovative technology. The exhibition is divided into 8 major exhibition areas, including extraordinary VR immersive experience, digital sculpture installations, panoramic cosmic landscape art videos, and more. The art exhibition "Super Metaphysics: The Art of Hsiao Chin" opens with the "Circle of Life" exhibition area. The curator combines a 3.5-meter-diameter LED light ball with seven planets to form "Hsiao Chin's Space Cabin", and presents Hsiao Chin's representative works from the Ponto period from 1961 to 1963, as well as the "Ponto" art exhibition he organized in Europe. "A Journey of the Universe's Spirit" is the first cross-border collaboration between Hsiao Chin and Hong Kong's famous technology ink artist Huang Hongda. The two sets of digital installation works, "Sky Mirror" and "Infinity", integrate art and innovative technology. In the immersive display of "Sky Mirror", Hsiao Chin's works are projected into different "planets" in digital form, symbolizing a spiritual universe, echoing the theme of the exhibition. At the "Source of Chi" exhibition area, visitors can personally participate in the artwork and explore the form and culture of energy in Hsiao Chin's art through interactive digital installations. #MacauWeekendTrip #weekendtrip #overseastrip
