Macao is beautiful from the ground. But it becomes a magical city from the air. At the turn of the year, the Government Information Bureau published a set of incredible aerial photographs by Lou Lam Kit, some of which were taken by a camera attached to a drone. We’ve chosen some of the best shots here for our readers to appreciate. There’s no two ways about it: Macao really is a city of immense beauty when viewed from the skies above.
