Previous Portuguese Colony located in Southwestern part of China. Currently a special administrative city of China. Mixed European and Chinese culture little town; which makes their food call Macanese food.
Go in Nov to see the World Grand Prix which converts local street to racing track similar to Monte Carlo.
Also must see Coloane Taipa church, back of the church has a very small family style local noodle place.
Special local pig's brain dry noodle is good.
Famous Macanese NATA is good ( a dessert)
So many many....
Also mini version of Las Vegas style casino resort, Venetian is opening soon..

Question:
Why is Macau call Macau??

Choices:
When Portugues sailors first visited the city and asked the local what the place is called. Local people use local language and said "Mai Gau" which translates to English in Dont Bother Me. Then the Portuguese named the place Macau
After the fish Bacalhau because when Portugues sailors first visited the place, residents were mostly fisherman
