MACAU<br>Macau is a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of
China since December 20, 1999. Macau is located in Guangdong province, on the
western bank of the Pearl River Delta and comprised of the Macau Peninsula, the
islands of Taipa, Coloane and the reclaimed area COTAI. Macau preserves many
historical properties in the urban area. The Historic Centre of Macau, which
includes some twenty-five historic monuments and public squares, was officially
listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO on July 15, 2005.</div><div class="PlainText"><br>In the past,
Macau's economy is closely linked to that of Hong Kong and Guangdong Province;
in the present, Macau has developed industries such as textiles, electronics and
toys, as well as building upon a world class tourist industry with a wide choice
of hotels, resorts, sports facilities, restaurants and casinos. Chinese and
Portuguese are the official languages, Cantonese being most widely spoken. The
official languages are used in government departments in all official documents
and communications. English is generally used in trade, tourism and
commerce.</div><div class="PlainText"><br>All visitors must hold a passport or a valid travel document. Visas
are required by all visitors (exception). Visitors can use the Macau
International Airport on Taipa Island for travelling to several destinations in
the region on direct flights or catch connecting flights to different ports of
Asia, Europe or America. If visitors want to go to Macau by sea, journeys will
take one hour from Hong Kong to Macau and vice versa via TurboJET and the Cotai
Strip CotaiJet™. There are two gateways available, the Barrier Gate and the
COTAI Frontier Post. For further details, please visit <a href="https://owa.unm.edu/owa/redir.aspx?C=27c59620df0c4a52a0205c9e8cb31c04&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.macautourism.gov.mo%2fen%2findex.php" target="_blank">http://www.macautourism.gov.mo/en/index.php</a>.
