Take a trip to Macau on your China Vacation
Macau is located on the western side of the Pearl River Delta only 60 kilometres/38 miles from Hong Kong to the east easily reached by ferry or hydrofoil. To the north of Macau is the Chinese province of Guangdong. It has been a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China since 1999. Before that, it was a Portuguese colony. Geographically, it consists of 3 areas, Macau Peninsula and the islands of Taipa and Coloane and is the most densely populated region in the world. The official languages are Cantonese and Portuguese. The cuisine, architecture and character of the place are a distinct mixture of Cantonese and Portuguese, all to be experienced on a Macau tour.
Macau is well known as a gambling centre and is actually the largest in the world with 33 casinos a total of which 23 are on the Macau Peninsula. Obviously, this is the greatest form of income for Macau as well as tourism.
This combination of European and Chinese influences makes Macau a very worthwhile destination to spend time in.
