    Lee , I am surprised you have not visited Macau sooner.... seeing that you are resident in Shenzhen and the GBA.
    I just had my relatives from Macau visiting us in 🇿🇦 for over 2 weeks holiday.
    I have been to Macau on 3 separate occasions when I visited China to see my relatives there. 1987, 1996 and 2020.

      @xyyyyx3247 Macau and HK SAR passport holders can enter SA visa-free, while mainland Chinese passport holders have a visa-on-arrival arrangement.
      I guess they need to explore mutual visa-free arrangements with mainland China.
      Look at Mauritius and Seychelles as examples.
      Morocco and Egypt has visa-free exemption for Chinese mainland tourists.

    Actually all the modern infrastructures were built after macau was returned to China in 1999. Before the return, macau was just a rundown , seedy casino town riddled with vices n gang crimes .The portuguese didnt care about the colony anymore as the sun had set on portugal empire a long time ago .n they didnt find the colony worthwhile for them to keep it. So they actually requested China to take back macau long before the lease expiry on 1999 but China declined their request
    Macao recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of their return to China . Can see from the videos of the celebration and your video , how much Macao have changed in the past 25 yrs . It has been redeveloped into more diversified n vibrant economy you see today.. Also clean up the crimes , so its safe .
    Also see the casinoes upgraded to make them part of integrated international convention n entertainment business centre which will promote tourism n FnB industries as well. In addition , Macao has been included into the greater Bay Area development which will integrate Macao with Hk , zhuhai , shenzhen on the mainland to bcome international convention, cultural events centre , technology n innovation hub

    Macau has thrived after the handover because the Portuguese left Macau along the people embraced the mother land. While the British couldn't let go of Hongkong and meddled in its affairs and Hongkongers where too proud to embrace the mainland. Now Hongkong suffers.

      The positive legacy as well of the 1974 Carnation Revolution in Portugal which toppled the conservative government and the constitutional monarchy it was servile with.
      That is led by leftists, liberals, workers and social democrats who are now dominating the Portuguese political landscape after.
      That also led the other Portuguese colonies in Africa (Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde and Guinea-Bissau) swifter independence.

      @@dawnnadir De-colonialization and de-westernization of world affairs and international relations are the trend.
      Portugal has long abandoned its imperial past thanks to the 1974 Carnation Revolution.
      Macau is freer now since the handover to China 25 years ago.
      Majority are of Chinese (Cantonese) background.
