About Macao

Macao, officially known as the Macao Special Administrative Region of China, is a vibrant and unique city located on the southern coast of China, near the Pearl River Delta. Renowned for its rich blend of Portuguese and Chinese cultures, Macao is a fascinating fusion of East and West, reflected in its architecture, cuisine, and traditions. Once a Portuguese colony for over 400 years, it was handed back to China in 1999 and now operates under the "one country, two systems" principle. Macao is famous for its bustling casino industry, earning it the nickname "Las Vegas of Asia," but it also boasts a wealth of historical landmarks, such as the Ruins of St. Paul's and the Senado Square, which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. With its vibrant nightlife, world-class entertainment, and unique cultural heritage, Macao is a dynamic destination that attracts millions of visitors each year.
