I
visited Macau for the first time in about 20 years. The city
has dramatically changed.
It
was returned from Portugal to China in 1999. Islands are being expanded by
land reclamation. New commercial and tourism facilities are being built. About
28 million Chinese visit here from the mainland.
Historical
Portuguese atmosphere remained in the center of the city. Visitors were talking
pictures at the stairs in front of St. Paul ruins. They enjoyed walking in the
narrow streets of cobbled stones.
Huge
hotels with casino were found in many places in the city. The buildings of
state-run Chinese banks stood aside.
I
felt the atmosphere of Portuguese, Chinese and modern capitalism flavor in the
town.
City
of Zhuhai locates beyond a narrow channel. I found tall buildings of the city.
