Macau

Keeping, rebuilding and transforming the old, a work begun by the Portuguese and followed by the Chinese. This is one factor that keeps Macau as a special city in China and in the world. The Historic Center of Macau has , as of 15th July 2005, been officially listed as UNESCO World Cultural Heritage.

On the right, actual residence of Portuguese Consul (once a hospital, school and then a hotel)


Macau Tower and Sai Van Bridge
For the aventurers there's the bungy jump of 233 meters/764.44ft to try or take a stroll around the outer-rim , a walkway of 1.8m/5.91ft that encircles the tower.

Queria apenas salientar que poderá retirar as fotos das nossas actividades que achar interessante.
Pedia apenas que nos informa-se quando as utiliza-se para podermos ver o seu trabalho.
