  • Macau Travel Guide
    Macau travel guide Macau is a tiny island in southeast China located an hour’s boat ride from Hong Kong. It is a Special Administrative Region governed under the ‘one country, two systems’ policy of the People’s Republic of China. The Portuguese colony is a unique fusion of East and West, with its cobbled streets, baroque architecture and traditional food and wine. The historic centre of Macau is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, yet this modern Chinese metropolis is now a self-styled Vegas of the East, with its mega casinos and hotels helping to propel its tourism and economy. When to go? Macau’s subtropical climate has cool dry winters and hot wet summers. Temperatures drop as low as 10°C during winter (Jan-Feb) and rise to 35°C during summer (Jul-Aug). Visitors getting to Macau during the summer months of July and September should be aware that there is a risk of typhoons. The best time to visit Macau is from October to December, when the weather is cool and less humid. Getting there By air Air Macau is the national carrier that gets into Macau International Airport. Regional airlines getting to Macau fly from cities like Seoul, Bangkok, Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur. Sky Shuttle also run frequent 16-minute helicopter rides between Macau and Hong Kong but are expensive. By ferry Getting to Macau by ferry is possible from Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Popular routes from Shekou (80 minutes) and Wanzai (30 minutes) arrive at Macau Ferry Terminal. Ferries and high speed catamarans from Hong Kong (1 hour) operate almost 24 hours.

Henrique PO Box 859 Tel: +852 25281384 Fax: +852 2529 7443 1 About Macau Macao - located on the western bank of the Pearl River Delta in southern Guangdong Province, People's Republic of China - adjoins the Mainland city of Zhuhai and lies some 60 kilometres to the west of Hong Kong. Macao comprises Macao Peninsula, Taipa and Coloane. Macao Peninsula is the hub of the territory and is connected to Taipa by three bridges. Several large international hotel resorts - with new supporting infrastructure - are located on the reclaimed land between Taipa and Coloane in the newly developed district known as Cotai. The Portuguese arrived and settled in Macao in the mid 16th Century. Thus, the city’s architecture, art, religion, traditions, food and community reflect the integration of Chinese, Western and Portuguese cultures. Macao became a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China on 20th December 1999 and exercises a high degree of autonomy under the principle of "One country, two systems". The SAR is growing in size with more buildings on reclaimed land, and in the number and diversity of its attractions. In 2005, The Historic Centre of Macao was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as a result of its unique historical and cultural landscape. Macao is currently positioning itself as the World Centre of Tourism and Leisure as it develops into a quality international tourist destination. 2 Fact about Macau Name Macau
