The all-you-can-eat seafood was excellent! Luckily, we booked in advance, otherwise, we wouldn't have gotten a table. The seafood here is fresh, and the oysters are huge. No wonder so many people come here; we were very satisfied after our meal.

The boarding location is clear, and if you don't want to take a ferry, you can choose the bus. The drop-off location is super convenient for getting to Mong Kok and Prince Edward. The driver was also very thoughtful, reminding us which lane to use for boarding after clearing customs each time we got off. The only downside was that when boarding in Macau, the ticket checker was unfamiliar with Klook's e-tickets and had to use a walkie-talkie to ask a colleague if it was a valid ticket. I hope that next time, Klook e-tickets can be used to board directly without having to wait outside the bus, wasting time with inquiries.

The dazzling fireworks, blooming in the night sky over Victoria Harbour, present a truly breathtaking spectacle. One must witness it firsthand to fully grasp its impact.

Getting the discount voucher was a great deal, and the Red Diamond member fast pass saved a lot of time. However, it's a bit of a shame that we couldn't cancel for free due to the weather on the day of the visit.

Enjoyed a buffet lunch with friends, and everyone was very happy with the desserts. Even though there were many guests, everything was well-organized.
