Landing in Macao in the evening is truly an unforgettable experience. Look to the left as the plane touches down on the tarmac and you will see the bright lights of the resort hotels in Cotai greeting you.

It was this captivating view that welcomed us on our recent media trip with AirAsia to the region, making us highly anticipate the wonders that we would discover during our stay there for the next four days.
