Macao: one of Southern
China's two Special Administrative Zones
We enjoyed a day and a half with old friends (from
Michael's Xiamen University days) in Macao, February 2003. The character
above us says "Spring" for we were visiting during Spring Festival
(Chinese New Year). |

(Above) Historic Macao was a Portuguese colony until 1999. These
pictures were taken during our first visit in June, 2000.

Two more views of Macao. The jet-foil boat
ride from Hong Kong takes about an hour. |

This is the old city square, decorated for Spring Festival 2003.
Macao is best known (unfortunately!) as the only place in China that has
legal casino gambling (and all the vices that follow such activity). But
it also has many famous restaurants, nice beaches, a quaint historic
district, and more! Prices here are considerably lower than in nearby Hong
Kong, making it a great place to visit on your trip to Southern Trip. |
