| Macau Special Administrative
Region is located on the southeastern coast of China. The territory comprises a
peninsula and two islands in the Pearl River Delta of Guangdong Province.
|
| The total area of Macau is 26.8
square kilometres - the peninsula has 8.5 square kilometres , Taipa 6.2 km2,
Coloane 7.6 square kilometres and the reclaimed land between Taipa and Coloane
has 4.5 square kilometres. |
| The city of Macau is built on
the peninsula; two bridges of 2.5 kilometres and 4.5 kilometres respectively
link it to its nearest island of Taipa, which in turn is joined to Coloane by a
2.2 kilometre-long causeway. |
| At the extreme northern end of
the peninsula, on a narrow isthmus, is the imposing gateway (Portas do Cerco, or
Border Gate), which leads to the Zhuhai and Zhongshan areas of China. |
