Asia's gala motor sports meeting with drivers and their machines. Motorcycles, saloon and formula cars flock here from all over the world. This event is held the third week in November every year.
Sun Yat Sen Memorial House
Memorial home to Dr Sun Yat Sen, founder of the modern Chinese Republic. The house, built in Moorish style, was built by his family to house relics of the revolutionary leader who practiced medicine in Macau for some years prior to the overthrow of the Manchu Emperors of the Ching Dynasty on the Mainland in 1940.
Temple of the Goddess A-ma
The oldest Chinese temple in Macau with inscriptions dating back more than six centuries. The temple is, in fact, a complex of temples; some dedicated to A-ma and others to Kun Yam, the Chinese Queen of Heaven.
The Ruins of St. Paul
The most famous sight in Macau, St. Paul was designed by an Italian in the early 17th century and built with the assistance of Japanese Christian artisans. The magnificent building overlooks the old walls of the city of Macau. In 1853, the church caught fire and burnt to the ground, leaving only the facade.

Few tourism destinations are transforming at the same speed as Macau. A once sleepy, sleazy and largely ignored Portuguese colony, it was handed back to China in 1999 to be ruled as a Special Administrative Region (like Hong Kong) - and subsequently moved into a high developmental gear.
The post-handover catalyst was the ending of local tycoon Stanley’s Ho’s 40-year monopoly on Macau’s pivotal casino industry. New concessions were awarded to Las Vegas kingpins Steve Wynn and Sheldon Adelson, injecting new dynamism into Macau’s
tourism profile. Its 25 casinos are now operated by four companies; Stanley Ho’s Sociedade de Jogos de Macau (18), Galaxy (5) and Wynn and Venetian (one each). Two other operators, MGM Grand and Melco PBL, are building new casinos.
The speed of development is breathtaking. In 2006, Macau’s neon-fuelled, casino-driven economy overtook Hong Kong in GDP growth for the first time, and attracted almost 22 million tourists (12 million of whom came from mainland China). Gross 2006 gaming receipts topped US$6.9 billion, outpacing even Las Vegas.
But there’s more to Macau than opulent gambling palaces. Its historic center became China’s 31st UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in 2005. The sloping cobbled streets are redolent of Porto, and street signs are inked onto white tiled azulejos. Even Macau’s currency, the pataca, more closely resembles the old escudo than the yuan. In addition, there are hill-top forts, cathedral ruins, Buddhist temples, a grand neo-classical post office and several atmospheric Portuguese cafes and Cantonese restaurants.
New Macau is still under construction, and land reclamation has doubled its territory, conjoining it with the islands of Coloane and Taipa. The resulting Cotai Strip will be a new hotel, entertainment and gaming center from 2009, with up to 60,000 hotel rooms by names such as Hard Rock, Grand Hyatt, St Regis, Four Seasons, Shangri-La and Raffles. Richard Branson is planning to make his first foray into the casino market here. As Steve Wynn, President and CEO of Wynn Resorts recently remarked, ‘Macau is the safest bet on earth.’
