Thanks for an informative Hub - Lovely Photo's. I would like to visit one day when that strange Volcano has calmed down completely. lol
Best Wishes.
Dada, you write too well with lots of concern for all the subjects you cover!! Wonderful hub!!
Oh, how I love your Hubs that take to far away places. Absolutely wonderful! I shall put this city on my radar. I didn't know about this City - Hong Kong I loved! I left for China and was so scared for the check that I was writing and afterwards I was mad at myself for not being brave to have journeyed sooner. Traveling is life changing and your Hubs take us to other places and expand our horizons.

Macau is a modern City adjacent to Chinese territory. Hong kong was a crown colony of British Emperor which was a place for luxurious Europeans for occasional visits ever since. Macau is very adjacent to Hong kong but still remained unknown to many. Its population is 90% Chinese and 10% others including Portuguese but the prevailing culture is western. It is a wonderful city of luxury. The article is written to high light how the City was built up by the construction of beautiful bridges over sea and how nicely the territory is connected to the main land China but not under the administration China. The culture is European but mainly Portuguese as it was under Portuguese Rule for a long time.
