Macau (China)

Macau is a Special Administrative Region of China located on the southern coast, known for its vibrant blend of Portuguese heritage and modern Chinese culture. It was a Portuguese colony until 1999, which has influenced its architecture, cuisine, and traditions. Today, Macau is famous for its luxurious casinos and entertainment industry, often called the "Las Vegas of Asia." It also features historic sites, colonial-era buildings, and a dynamic mix of eastern and western influences. Macau operates under a "one country, two systems" arrangement, maintaining a degree of autonomy, especially in economic and legal matters, making it a unique global destination.
