For decades now, Macao has provided the perfect backdrop for filmmakers from across the globe.

We choose our favourite movies which were entirely – or at least partly – filmed in our picturesque city.

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.

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.

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.
