First timer in Macao and Zhuhai
I will be going to Macao and then across to Zhuhai for the first time. What is the best thing to do over the weekend?
I mean the hotel recommendation, sightseeing, food, transportaion etc. Things that a tourist will want to know before going.

In Macau, stay at the Westin or at the new Wynn. Westin is a resort in a great location, and Wynn is the newest kid from Las Vegas right in the middle of the city. Both excellent properties.

u have to check out the ruins of St. Paul's and A-Ma Temple.
There are 2 famous restaurants located side by side just west (200 m max) of A-Ma Temple. I forgot their names. But just ask the taxi driver for the famous portuguese restaurants next to A-Ma Temple.

"Things that a tourist will want to know before going" can be found in more detail in any guide book than can ever be provided here.
But for restaurants a personal favourite is the old colonial Clube Militar at Avenida da Praia Grande 795, tel 714009 (booking recommended).
Particularly at Sunday lunch this is a favourite with the remaining Portuguese in Macau, most of whom the waiters seem to know personally. I recommend the African Chicken, washed down with a dry Portuguese white.
