About Macau
Macau was under Portuguese rule for a long time. The region gained its sovereignty only very recently, in December 1999. When it gained independence from the European nation, Macau’s economy leaned toward tourism, fashion (clothing manufacturing), and gaming. It quickly became one of the most visited places in the Pearl River Delta region.
Because of its colonial history, Macau has a unique historic center that showcases a blend of European and Eastern cultures. Much of these influences is apparent in the way of life of the locals, as well as in the buildings and festivals celebrated here.
Macau has a subtropical climate and is generally warm year-round, except during the monsoon season, when rainfall is higher than average. Regardless of the time of your visit, however, Macau is best enjoyed with the perfect accommodation. Read on.
