For the tourists, there is no place like Macau. By depending on the gambling tourism and gaming revenues, Macau is set to be one of the richest cities in the world in 2020 with more than two-thirds of its landscape reclaimed in the last century. The existing landscape of Macau was given to the gambling industries. With the Cotai Strip – the eastern Las-Vagas Strip, one can be a Parisian or Venetian when visiting Macau. Is there a way to stop copying and pasting more casinos as landmark?
For the local Macanese, there is no place like Macau, more should be done to preserve the culture so as to embrace the history of the city. Starting from scratch, the history of a place can be retained and remembered.
