Location, location, location
For decades now, Macao has provided the perfect backdrop for filmmakers from across the globe. Big budget flicks and artistic masterpieces have been shot in the SAR due its glitzy and gritty locations. We choose our favourite movies which were entirely – or at least partly – filmed in our picturesque city.
A design for life
Macao architect Carlos Marreiros’ Red December exhibition is at Tap Seac Gallery until next month. The artist tells us all about his utopian ‘floating ship’, his ‘naughty’ sketches and his diaries full of memories and memorabilia that adorn the show’s walls.
Into the unknown
Art meets science meets technology meets you at the upcoming TeamLab SuperNature exhibition at The Venetian Macao. We get a sneak preview of some of the interactive pieces that can be explored, admired and even shaped by their visitors.
Fortress Macao
Whether still here to visit or lost completely to time, the forts of Macao are the strongholds of many stories. These vital defences once protected the city and its people over more than 400 years.
History in the making
Unprecedented economic growth. Increasing numbers of tourists. A new-look city with a more affluent population. Macao has transformed over the past 20 years. We look back at what’s changed in the SAR since its birth on 20 December, 1999.
Bring on the future
The next 20 years and further into the future: how will Macao change and develop?
Sun, sea, sightseeing and Senado
Prepare for more tourists to hit Macao over the coming years. In the past two decades, the city has become a hub for visitors – and heritage projects to protect its history – but the future looks even busier, say the experts.
Preserving the past
Since 1999, Macao’s gastronomic scene has been boosted by a supernova of international chefs and cuisines. The challenge now is for locals to preserve the Macanese culinary heritage while passing on something new for the next generation to relish.
The art and the soul
From paintings and ceramics to music and literature, Macao has become a hotbed for art and artistic talents. The future paints a pretty picture too, say the creatives, as there’s a collective ‘will to put us on the world map as a great art city’.
Making a fortune
Macao’s integrated entertainment resorts have proved to be a major cog in the economic success of the SAR over the past two decades – and the city’s gaming industry is expected to keep reinventing itself in the years to come to entice tourists and more investment.
