Shaanxi-Xi’an-Macau week celebrates culinary richness

The “Shaanxi·Xi’an-Macau Week” kicks off this Thursday, with a vibrant road show that showcases the culinary and cultural richness of Macau. Ahead of the main event, a special food promotion titled “Taste the Secrets of Macau in Xi’an” begins today at the W Hotel Xi’an.

This week-long celebration highlights Macau’s recognition as a “City of Food,” inviting local residents to explore a variety of Macanese and Portuguese dishes. The promotion features a themed buffet at the W Hotel Xi’an, curated by chefs from Melco Group, who will collaborate with local culinary teams. Guests can look forward to Macanese flavors, including octopus salad, African chicken, and Portuguese egg tarts.

In addition to the food festivities, direct flights between Xi’an and Macau will resume as of today, enhancing travel opportunities for tourists. This initiative is part of a broader effort to expand the mainland tourist market and position Xi’an as a key destination for individual travelers to Macau.

The road show will run from August 22 to 26 at the Xi’an Qujiangchi Site Park. The five-day event will feature multiple exhibition areas that highlight Macau’s attractions, including its festivals, performing arts, and cultural products. Attendees can enjoy interactive performances and meet Macau’s tourism mascot, “Mak Mak.”

Additionally, a tourism promotion meeting is scheduled for August 21 to foster collaboration between the tourism industries of Shaanxi and Macau. This meeting aims to enhance business opportunities and attract more visitors to both regions. Nadia Shaw
