Macau

Built around a Portuguese trading port on the Pearl River estuary, Macau grew into China’s Special Administrative Region. Its compact peninsula and the islands of Taipa and Coloane sit on the southern Chinese coast, where Cantonese traditions meet a lasting Portuguese legacy. The Historic Centre of Macao, a UNESCO World Heritage site, includes the Ruins of St Paul’s, A-Ma Temple and colonial-era squares. Cotai, reclaimed between Taipa and Coloane, has developed into a major resort district, while local food reflects the territory’s Chinese and Portuguese connections.
