Entrance to Zaia Coliseum

Zaia

Zaia, a 90-minute stage production by the Canadian entertainment company Cirque du Soleily, premiered on 27 August 2008 in a custom-built theater at the Venetian Macao and ran with regular performances for three and a half years. The show, directed by Neilson Vignola and Gilles Maheu, featured a cast of 75 circus artists. The show's theme was a young girl's perception of the stars and planets, space and infinity, populated by otherworldly creatures. The theater housing the performance seated 1,800 spectators at a time.

 

On 7 February 2012, Sands China and Cirque du Soleil announced that Zaia would be performed for the final time on 19 February 2012. Sands China said that the company was expanding its entertainment offering, which included a redesigned multi-purpose theatre at Venetian Macao, and new entertainment options at Sands Cotai, hoping to usher in a new era of entertainment in the city. "In view of the market trend and customer demand," Sands said, "the company will again be investing to redesign the theatre to open up a new world of exciting entertainment."

 

Foi este enorme e maravilhoso Hotel casino que percorremos, entrando na ala Este e saindo na ala Oeste, nem tendo ido visitar os andares superior, o que se o tivesse feito levaria algumas horas para percorrer todos os corredores e lojas.

                 A majestosa ponte na parte da estrada Este, junto à Estrada do istmo.

                     Ala Este com um enorme lago onde as gondolas navegam

                     Este é o Hotel Casino mais concorrido do mTerritório de Macau

Aqui, na ala Oeste, uma das paragens de estacionamento de autocarros, os turistas estão sempre chegando e partindo.

 

Daqui se podem apanhar autocarros do hotel para a Ponte Flor de Lotus, terminal Marítimo da Taipa, Terminal Marítimo de Macau, Aeroporto, Portas do Cerco ou Hotel Casino Sands, sito em Macau, o movimento de autocarros é constante e impreciona tal movimento de passageiros.

Ali apanhamos um destes autocarros que nos levou até ao Terminal Marítimo de Macau, depois apanhamos um outro, este do Hotel Casino Emperor, que na imediações de nossa casa, e tudo isto sem pagar um avo.

                  Um dos requintados coches parado junto à entrada principal do hotel.

Tencionavamos seguir a pé até nossa residência, que dista deste hotel cerca de 500 metros, não o podemos fazer, em virtude de haver milhares de pessoas, acompanhadas de seus cães de estimação que estavam fazendo uma manifestação solitando ao governo leis para proteção dos animais, assunto esse que será descrito na prómixa postagem.

Tivemos que seguir para casa no autocarro da carreira 32, e desta forma se passou mais um dia de passeio e bem económico.
