This is another SAR (Special Administrative Region) of China, it was returned later than HK and was owned by the Portuguese from about the late 1400s.
Its really the poor cousin of Hong Kong having had negative economic growth until very recently when it was returned to the Motherland. Unlike Hong Kong though, a lot of the Colonial buildings still exist, and Portuguese-styled buidlings aren't all that bad to look at. The tourist locations here are slightly less crowded, as most Chinese tourists only come to Macau to goto the Casino, I was actually able to get a good shot without the masses of people in most of my photos of Macau.
