Birthday trip to Macau/Hong Kong 2012-Dragon's treasure show @ City of Dreams





Bro had suggested to watch "Dragon's treasure" show at City of Dreams located at Hard Rock Hotel and having no other better suggestions, we decided to all go along.

Hard rock hotel is opposite to our hotel though quite a distance away and we decided to walk there. It is much later then we realised that the major hotels all have buses inter plying between them. Stupid to walk in the 10degreees night.

Not sure why but I find the hotels here really spaced apart with vast lanes in between them. It is not impossible to walk but just tiring as there is nothing to see except roads in between them. I guess it is only limited to this part of Macao as we saw a different Macao on the next day.

And we reached the City of Dreams
The pretty fountain outside
We reached City of dreams after a 10min walk, there is a pretty fountain outside but the weather is too cold for us to stand outside to admire the sight.

The show is scheduled to run every 30min and we were just in time for the next show. Surprisingly, there is a big crowd today. Tickets are priced at MOP 50 each and we quickly enter to the theater after buying the tickets.

Jelly fish look alike
It is all dark inside the theater and there are no seats. Its a dome like theater and since we are pretty late in entry, only managed to find a space at the back of the crowd who is crowding around the circular center, waiting for the show to start.

Truth to be told, I am not very impressed by the show. The dome shaped theater is a killer for those watching. As the show proceeds, turning round and round, you have to keep turning to catch the show. It somehow makes me dizzy and cannot follow up with the pace.


Main character- Dragon

Overflowing monies
I didn't really follow the story line as I was busy following the graphics. Think its about 4 dragons (which looks the same to me) showing the power of dragon pearls and showing us their magical kingdom.

I am also not really sure of the duration of the show but it is definitely not more than 30min. As we exit from the theater, we decided to walk around the hotel to pass them. There is nothing much here except for a casino which looks pretty empty. I am still searching for a convenience store to buy my snacks.

After walking around, we came across MacDonalds and were quite happy. Made mummy promised that if we cannot get anything decent for breakfast tmr, we would come here for breakfast.

And we started posing

See the pig
We began our walk back to hotel after that and bro suggested to go check out the surroundings. We found nothing and decided to call it a night.

Super old school parking

Bro brought us to this egg tart shop which sells Portuguese egg tarts and we brought a few for supper and breakfast.

It was nice alright and for the next 2 days we were here, we keep buying from this shop.

I ate 2 that night
