About
Macao

27 square km of land composed of three islands makes Macau (formerly Macao) a very densely populated place. Former Portuguese colony that was handed back to China in 1999 is now the Macau Special Administrative Region, and has a government system similar to Hong Kong.
Development of new infrastructure and facilities in preparation for Macau's hosting of the 2005 East Asian Games will bolster the construction sector.
