Macau or Macao Special Administrative Region (S.A.R.) of China is situated 64 kilometers west of Hong Kong S.A.R.

Macao was returned to China in December, 1999 after 442 years of Portuguese rule. During this period, its name was spelt "Macau", and it was one of the world's richest cities.

In 2005, 18.7 million visitors enjoyed the Macau Casinos and the popular Macau Tower packed with fun and exhilarating adventure attractions.

It also has many historical sites located around the city center.

Wynn Macau Resort is the first of Macau's Las Vegas-style Resorts and Casino just opened on September 6, 2006.

Macau Tower, 338 meters high with the main observation deck at 223 meters.

There are various breathtaking adventures on offer and you haven't been to Macau if you have not tried at least one of these;

• The SkyJump, taking off from the outer rim of Macau Tower 233 meters aboveground.
• Skywalk X, brave the 1.8 meters wide walkway without a handrail! It is very thrilling to walk around the main outer rim of Macau Tower 233 meters aboveground.
• Long Flying Fox, fly through the air on a 70 meter zip line that shoots out of the tower leg into a large net.
• Mast's Vertical Climbing, experience Macau's highest summit at 338 meters. Stand at the top of the world's 10th tallest free-standing tower by climbing 100 meters up the mast's vertical ladders.
• Long Ironwalk, the Ironwalk with a tricky extension.

The Macau Casinos

A Macau tour would not be complete without at least one stop at the casino. For Los Vegas resort style gambling, the more recently completed Wynn Macau, Sands Macau, and Venetian Macao Resort Hotel are the most popular to visit and if you are looking for that older and more uniquely Macau feel, then visit the Hotel Lisboa.
