In December 2024, Macau celebrated the 25th anniversary of the return to China. Let's explore what makes Macau so special.
The lotus(莲花) is a very important symbol in Macau. It not only shows cleanness and beauty but also stands for the special cultural and land features of this place. Just as a lotus can grow nicely from the dirty water and open its petals beautifully, Macau has been able to keep its own attraction and do well.
Macau is known as the "Las Vegas of the East" because of its casinos(赌场). Gambling is a major part of Macau's economy. Visitors come here to experience the excitement. Big casinos like The Venetian Macao are not just about games—they also offer shows, shopping, and fine dining.
Macau is a paradise for food lovers. Its cuisine(菜肴) mixes Chinese and Portuguese flavours. Egg tarts, pork chop buns, and African chicken are must-try dishes. Street food, such as almond cookies and fish balls, is also very popular.
Macau offers many fascinating places to visit. The Ruins of St. Paul's is a must-see landmark that tells the city's history. For a quieter experience, Coloane Village provides peaceful beaches and traditional streets. Taipa Village is another favourite, with colourful houses and local shops.
