Overview
Macau, a one-of-a-kind tourist destination
Situated on the Pearl River Delta, Macau was historically a fishing village. The Portuguese arrived and settled in Macau in mid-16th Century. Thus, Macau’s architecture, art, traditions and food reflect the integration of Chinese and Portuguese cultures.
After the handover in 1999, Macau became a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China and exercises a high degree of autonomy under the principle of "One country, two systems".
In 2005, The Historic Centre of Macau was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as a result of its unique historical and cultural landscape. Macau is currently positioning itself as the World Centre of Tourism and Leisure as it develops into a quality international tourist destination.
About Macau
Macau is located on the western bank of the Pearl River Delta in southern Guangdong, China and lies some 60 kilometers to the west of Hong Kong. Macau comprises Macau Peninsula, Taipa and Coloane. While Macau Peninsula is the hub of the territory, many large international hotel resorts – with new supporting infrastructure – are located on the reclaimed land between Taipa and Coloane in the newly developed Cotai, including City of Dreams and Studio City.
