Macau Peninsula

Macau Peninsula

Macau Peninsula is the oldest and most populous part of the former Portuguese territory of Macau, now a special administrative region of the People's Republic of China. It's geographically connected to Zhuhai, Mainland China, at the northeast, through an isthmus. The peninsula, together with the city centre of Zhuhai, sits on an island separated from the continent by distributaries of the Pearl River. The Border Gate (Portas do Cerco) was built on the northern isthmus. At the south, the peninsula is connected to Taipa Island by three bridges. The longest axis (4-kilometre) extends from the Border Gate to the southwestern edge, Barra. There is a western Inner Harbour and an eastern Outer Harbour. The 93 meter Guia Hill is the highest point on the peninsula, which is, on an average, 50 to 75 metres. Many coastal places are reclaimed from sea.
