While standing in front of the remaining facade of St. Paul's Church, I couldn't help but admire the beauty of those ancient walls. However, strangely, my thoughts kept wandering back to the vibrant casinos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1 translation-block\">Before dinner, I returned to The Venetian. However, this time I wasn't heading to my hotel room; I was going to the casino. I didn't exchange any chips and simply wanted to quietly observe the people in the casino.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1 translation-block\">At one table, people were playing a poker game that resembled blackjack. The minimum bet was HK$1,000. Two men at the table were deeply engrossed in their game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2 translation-block\">The notable difference between them was that one of them would cheer loudly when he won, while the other remained emotionally composed. After approximately twenty minutes, the composed man, with his stack of chips increasing from three to seven, had won around HK$4,000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1 translation-block\">Despite the noisy surroundings, the atmosphere seemed to freeze with each move of the composed man. His calm reminded me of the Daoist concept of \u201cQi.\u201d Is it possible for successful gamblers to also be individuals who understand how to regulate their inner energy?<\/p>\n<h6><span class=\"penci-highlighted-yellow\">\u25e6 Macao Travel Guide<\/span><\/h6>\n<h6>01\uff5cThings To Do in Macao<\/h6>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/affiliate.klook.com\/redirect?aid=85223&amp;aff_adid=1014755&amp;k_site=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.klook.com%2Fzh-TW%2Factivity%2F90-the-house-of-dancing-water-macau%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\ud83c\udfab House of Dancing Water Ticket<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/affiliate.klook.com\/redirect?aid=85223&amp;aff_adid=1014755&amp;k_site=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.klook.com%2Fzh-TW%2Factivity%2F506-macau-tower-macau%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\ud83c\udfab Macau Tower Ticket<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/affiliate.klook.com\/redirect?aid=85223&amp;aff_adid=1014755&amp;k_site=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.klook.com%2Fzh-TW%2Factivity%2F750-golden-reel-ferris-wheel-macau%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\ud83c\udfa1 Golden Reel Ferris Wheel in Studio City Macau<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/affiliate.klook.com\/redirect?aid=85223&amp;aff_adid=1014755&amp;k_site=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.klook.com%2Fzh-TW%2Factivity%2F82471-goldspark-hk%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\ud83d\ude8d Macau Open Top Bus Night Tour<\/a><\/p>\n<h6>02\uff5cTransportation in Macao<\/h6>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/affiliate.klook.com\/redirect?aid=85223&amp;aff_adid=1014726&amp;k_site=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.klook.com%2Fzh-TW%2Factivity%2F24657-macau-cotai-jet-ticket-hong-kong%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\ud83d\udea2 Cotai Water Jet Ferry Ticket between Hong Kong and Macau<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/affiliate.klook.com\/redirect?aid=85223&amp;aff_adid=1014755&amp;k_site=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.klook.com%2Fzh-TW%2Factivity%2F3070-turbojet-ticket-macau%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\ud83d\udea2 TurboJET Ferry Ticket between Hong Kong and Macau<\/a><\/p>\n<h6>03\uff5cRestaurants in Macao<\/h6>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/affiliate.klook.com\/redirect?aid=85223&amp;aff_adid=1014755&amp;k_site=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.klook.com%2Fzh-TW%2Factivity%2F1282-marriott-urban-kitchen-buffet-macau%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\ud83e\udd9e JW Marriott Hotel Macau Buffet | Urban Kitchen<\/a><\/p>\n<h6>04\uff5ceSIM<\/h6>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/affiliate.klook.com\/redirect?aid=85223&amp;aff_adid=1014755&amp;k_site=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.klook.com%2Fzh-TW%2Factivity%2F101509-cn-hk-mo-esim-card%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\ud83d\udedc High-Speed eSIM Without Having to Bypass the Firewall<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u96e8\u52e2\u6ec2\u6cb1\u7684\u5348\u5f8c\uff0c\u4f86\u5230\u6fb3\u9580\u5730\u6a19\u5927\u4e09\u5df4\u724c\u574a\u8d70\u8d70\u770b&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[67,21],"tags":[75,76,121],"class_list":["post-2165","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-column","category-macao","tag-75","tag-76","tag-121"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yuartheworld.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2165","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yuartheworld.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yuartheworld.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yuartheworld.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yuartheworld.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2165"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/yuartheworld.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2165\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7214,"href":"https:\/\/yuartheworld.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2165\/revisions\/7214"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yuartheworld.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yuartheworld.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2165"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yuartheworld.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2165"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yuartheworld.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
