What places are there in Macau?

Macao has Macau Peninsula, Taipa Island and Coloane Island.

1, Macau Peninsula (Portuguese: peníinsula de Macau, English: Peninsula of Macao) is one of the three parts that make up Macau. It is the main settlement of Macao residents and the earliest developed area in Macau with a history of more than 400 years.

2. Dang Island

Taipa Island runs from northeast to southwest, with big Taipa Mountain in the east, small Taipa Mountain in the west and flat land in the middle. The altitude of Mount Tai is 159. 1 m, which is the highest point of Taipa Island. The northwest coast of Taipa Island is shallow.

3. Around the island

Coloane Island originally belonged to Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province, but it was occupied by Portugal in 1864 and became a part of Macao. More than a hundred years ago, when Macao had gradually become the intersection of Chinese and Western trade, the island was still frequented by pirates.

Macao used to be an island at the southern tip of Zhongshan City (formerly known as Xiangshan County) in Guangdong Province, standing in the sea, just like a contemporary offshore island. Later, due to the alluvial sediment of Xijiang River and the convection of seawater, a sandbar was formed between Macao and the mainland, which was connected with the mainland and became a peninsula.
