Macau, also known as Macao, is a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of the People's Republic of China. It is located on the western side of the Pearl River Delta, across from Hong Kong, and is bordered by Guangdong Province to the north and the South China Sea to the east and south.
Macau was a Portuguese colony until 1999 when it was handed over to China under the "One Country, Two Systems" principle, which allows Macau to maintain a high degree of autonomy, including its own legal and economic systems.

Macau is one of the world's most densely populated regions, with a population of over 680,000 people. Its official languages are Chinese and Portuguese, and it has a unique culture that reflects its mixed Chinese and Portuguese heritage. Macau is known for its vibrant nightlife, world-class casinos, and historic architecture, including the Ruins of St. Paul's, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is also a popular tourist destination, attracting millions of visitors each year. The economy of Macau is heavily dependent on the tourism and gaming industries, which generate a significant portion of the region's revenue.
