Macau, a former Portuguese territory on the southcoast of China in the vicinity of Hong Kong, is a curious mixture of Mediterranean (seen in its churches, café’s and parks) and oriental cultures. The tiny city is a gamblers paradise for the Hong Kong Chinese and it even houses the Grand Prix Formula-3 Autoracing on its famous street circuit. A modern, 2-kilometer long bridge connects the city with its two islands Taipa and Coloane.
