Macau 澳門小游
chin:
More Penjing 盆景 at the corners of the park.

The garden is small, but it has many nice features of classical Chinese gardens. One of the features is the many couplets 對聯. This one says,
Strolling on the winding bridge searching for the draft of paintings
Leaning on the rock formations listening to the song of books
The "draft" was probably referring to finding inspirations, and the "song of book" was referring to ...??
The pastel green building at the back is part of a school near the garden.
chin:
Another set describing the nice cozy scenery in the garden. Many of the couplets are dated in 1975, when the garden is taken over from the long decline family of the original owner. The garden was subsequently taken over and managed by the government.
chin:
One more set. There are probably more than 10 there.

This time we stayed in Venetian Macau. This is the second time we stayed in their Rialto Suite. The suite is very large at about 1700 sq ft, but the layout and amenities are not well thought out.
- For example the door has no door bell or knockers, so you have to bang the door with your own fist to get attention.
- The suite is large but there is no place to sit near the door to put on shoes (see pic below.) I moved one of the dinning room chairs to near the door but the house keeper move it back.
- And there is no place to hang clothes inside the toilet.
A friend of mine was one of the senior construction managers who help built the complex. I told him about these problems in my first visit in Dec 2008. He told me that the owner wants to build the hotel/casino asap so he can start taking gamblers money, so the entire plan was copied from the US Venetian. >:(
When I made the bookings, I couldn't find bigger rooms. But at check out, I found out that Venetian do have some nicer and bigger suites, but not available to direct sales. The nicer suites are all reserved for whales. Maybe the nicer suite would have door bells?
My kids took the following pictures, with a small camera. So the quality is not so good.
