Geography in Macao |
|
|
|
|
|
| Due to land reclamation along its coastline,
Macao has grown in land area from 10.28km2 in the 19th century to 27.3km2
today, which is equal to one-fortieth of Hong Kong and one twenty-third of
Singapore. Macao consists of the Macao peninsula and the two islands
of Taipa and Coloane. Two bridges, Nobre de Carvalho Bridge and
Friendship Bridge (Ponte da Amizade), link the peninsula to Taipa, while
the two islands are inked by the six-lane 2.2km Taipa-Coloane Causeway. (Macau
