Explore Macau: A Walking Guide & History

Autor Todd Crowell
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 aug 2016
Walking is the best way to get to know any city, and Macau - the former Portuguese colony returned to China in 1999 - is made for walking. Only seven miles square, one can easily walk from the Border Gate to Barra Point at the tip of Macau in a day. This guide describes eight walks around peninsular Macau and its outlying islands, sufficient to explore and understand this fascinating old city and its unique blend of European and Asian cultures.

Recenzii

"The gambling sub-culture seems to be increasingly overshadowing the other cultures such as Portuguese and Macanese which have for centuries contributed to the uniqueness of Macau. At the same time, high rises are now literally shadowing the Chinese village houses, the Portuguese colonial buildings, the quaint alleys and leisurely lanes. But to see Macau only in nostalgic terms and ignore its modern vitalities misses the point. Macau is not a museum city; it is a living and breathing region with its own survival and regeneration powers. Todd Crowell does not miss the point. His book gives meaning to everything the visitor might stroll by. Instead of lamenting the disappearance of this banyan tree or that coffee-serving cafe, he proves that what can be seen in Macau is still relevant and interesting, whether it is 400 years or four months old." -- Annabel Jackson, author of Macau on a Plate
