Macau was the last European colony in Asia, ruled by the Portuguese for 442 years. It has the world’s highest population density at 19,737/km2, with 667,400 residents per square mile.
Macau is known as the ‘Monte Carlo of the Orient’ due to its dependency on casinos and gambling, with over 50% of its GDP coming from gambling taxes alone.
In 2019, Macau’s 41 casinos made $36 billion in revenue, six times as much as Las Vegas. Portugal handed Macau back to China in 1999, making it the last European country to pull out of Asia.
Macau is a popular destination for gambling and tourism, with the gambling industry generating 80% of the local government’s tax revenue and employing around 17% of its residents.
The Centro Historico de Macau, UNESCO’s World Heritage Site, was inscribed in 2005 with the Ruins of St. Paul as a unique testimony to the meeting of aesthetic, cultural, architectural and technological influences from East and West.
Macau is also home to the world’s highest commercial bungee jump, the 233-meter (764ft) jump, and the adventurous walk around the outer edge of the building.
