    CULTURE AND SPORT Culture and Sport Eastern and western cultures have co-existed in Macao for over 400 years. A wide variety of cultural traditions, languages, values, religious beliefs, and customs have all existed side by side and influenced one another. Out of this melting pot, a regional culture unique to Macao has gradually developed into its present richness. Macao’s culture is thus a diverse mixture, with traditional Chinese culture as its heart, and it has assimilated Western, particularly Portuguese, cultural influences in perfect harmony. Following its policy of promoting Chinese culture while preserving the unique pluralistic cultural heritage of Macao, the Government has hosted various cultural and artistic activities invited art troupes from mainland China and overseas, as well as Macao, to perform. These have created opportunities for audiences to learn more about the history, society, and culture of different regions, as well as enhancing cultural exchange and the quality of cultural life of Macao’s residents. Cultural Affairs Bureau The Cultural Affairs Bureau is a Government department that sets out the Government’s key objectives in cultural matters. The bureau is responsible for protecting cultural heritage, giving guidance on aesthetic appreciation, supporting community organisations, nurturing talent in arts and culture, developing local cultural industries, as well as organising cultural entertainment programmes, such as concerts, exhibitions, seminars, music classes, dance, drama courses, Macao International Parade, Macao International Music Festival, Macao Arts Festival, Macao City Fringe Festival, China Cultural Heritage Day, Macao Youth Music Competition and Macao Annual Visual Arts Exhibition.

    CHINA BOOMING MACAU ©Raphaël Fournier An advertisement for the Galaxy Casino. Macau is the Las Vegas of the East, the world’s gambling paradise Gambling in Macau generates in excess of 30 billion dollars a year In October the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge was opened. It is the world’s longest bridge The bridge will further increase the number of tourists, which in 2025 are due to reach record levels of 40 million Too many according to the authorities: the peninsula is small and it is necessary to introduce a maximum limit. But How? The Grand Lisboa Casino. Opened in 2006, it is owned by Stanley Ho, holder of the gambling licenses monopoly in Macau until 2002. A tourist in front of The Venetian Casino. The lights of the Grand Lisboa Casino. Chinese gamblers taking a break outside a casino. The tourist invasion of the gambler’s paradise The Las Vegas of the East, the gambling town par excellence, one of the richest places on the planet (it is due to overtake Qatar in 2020) – it is, of course, Macau. The former Portuguese colony was returned to Chinese control in 1999, but with one particularity: it is the only place in China where gambling and casinos are legal. Macau – known by the Chinese as Aomén – is famous for two things: money (it is a tax haven) and the tourists attracted by the roulette, poker and slot machines. Here one in five inhabitants works in a casino and more than 70% of government revenues is derived from gambling, an activity that brings wealth (in excess of 30 billion dollars a year) and that in 2018 alone attracted almost 36 million visitors to Macau.

  • The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.
