Macau

By César Guillén-Núñez

Founded over 400 years ago by merchant-navigators anxious to find an entrepot for their lucrative trade with Japan, the Portuguese colony of Macau just south of Hong Kong quickly developed from a scattering of thatched huts into one of the most prosperous and genteel cities in the Far East. Here, the author highlights key episodes in Macau's unusual history and punctuates the text with color plates revealing Macau's rich artistic heritage.
