Macao SAR

A special administrative region where Chinese and Western cultures meet, with three highlights: its World Heritage historic center, integrated resorts and Portuguese cuisine.

Macau lies on the west bank of the Pearl River Estuary and is made up of the Macau Peninsula, Taipa, Coloane and the Cotai reclaimed area. It was under Portuguese administration for a long time before returning to China in 1999. The Historic Centre of Macau is a World Heritage Site, where the Ruins of St. Paul's, Senado Square and A-Ma Temple show Chinese and Portuguese architecture side by side, while the large integrated resorts of Cotai offer entertainment, shopping and shows. Portuguese cuisine, Macanese cuisine and street snacks are also very popular. Autumn and winter (October to March) are the most pleasant seasons, while summers are hot with frequent typhoons. Gateways include Macau International Airport, the Hong Kong–Macau Ferry Terminal, the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge and the Gongbei border crossing.
