What kind of place is Macau?
Macau is one of the two special administrative regions of the People's Republic of China. It is located on the west side of the Pearl River Delta on the southeast coast of China. It consists of the Macau Peninsula, Taipa Island, Coloane Island and Luchao City, with a total area of ***32.8 square kilometers, where more than 5, people live, which makes Macau the highest population density in the world. Macao North is connected with Gongbei, Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province; In the west, it looks at Wanchai and Hengqin, both of which belong to Zhuhai. It is 6 kilometers away from Hong Kong, another special administrative region, in the east and separated by the Pearl River Estuary in the middle. Macao is one of the "four largest gambling cities in the world". Its famous textiles, toys, tourism, hotels and casinos make Macao prosperous. Therefore, Macao is also one of the richest cities in the world.
Macao is a city where you can walk with all your heart. Walking through the long and narrow alleys, you can see many antique old houses with cultural relics, as well as the small hotels with Ming and Qing styles, which makes people feel that they are on the set of shooting old movies. On both sides of the street, there are old wooden doors with mottled paint. A tiny brick at the foot may be branded with the imprint of the nineteenth century. This is a place with a heavy sense of history.
Macao is a city with both Chinese and western cultures and unique colonial customs. Walking on the streets, many European-style buildings are interspersed among the ancient Chinese buildings, cleverly pieced together, harmonious and beautiful, just like a dynamic oil painting.
Macao is a city without sadness. People always live in a casual and comfortable state. Most Macao people are not very rich, but the state of enjoying life and work is really enviable.
The mystery of Macau can't be revealed by just a few travel notes. Being mysterious will give people a more wonderful feeling.
In fact, a lot of information can be found on the Internet, but those are only official information.
Listen to my knowledge about Macau. I have lived in Macau for many years.
Most people think that Macau is gambling, gambling and gambling.
Actually, it is not like that. The mainstay of Macau's entertainment and gambling industry is tourists from the mainland, Taiwan Province, Hong Kong and foreign countries. Macau people rarely gamble in casinos!
Entertainment and gambling draw an important equal sign to Macao's economy. The main economy of Macao is gambling, followed by tourism. Although Macao is small, there are many places of interest.
These places of interest have a long history, and most of them are included in the world heritage. Therefore, Macao has formed a piece of historical city.
Residents living in Macao are very happy. First of all, they have high welfare, and they have 15 years of free education. From kindergarten to high school graduation, there are many subsidies for books and stationery.
Many government houses have also been developed for people with difficulties in life to choose from.
In the past two years, the government has also issued subsidies continuously. Last year, there were 5, permanent residents, and this year, 6, permanent residents, which made me happy to buy a lot of things. Haha
In addition, Macau is really small, but the materials are very substantial, and shopping and transportation are convenient. You can meet people you know when you walk down the street.
The population is not as crowded as Hong Kong. Although the population density is high, it is evenly distributed. I will go crazy when I walk through Mong Kok in Hong Kong, so I like to live a convenient and leisure life.
In addition, the night view of Macau is actually very good, and it feels like the word "quiet". You can feel
not like sitting in Nanwan Lake or Fisherman's Wharf at night.
There are very few stars in Macau, and some of them are unknown. Because Macau is small, don't think that Hong Kong is almost the same as Macau. In fact, Hong Kong is dozens of times as big as Macau!
There are only one or two news stations in Macau. Of course, I haven't seen them, but I believe some news worthy of attention can be seen in the Mainland.
As for Macau's food, Taiwan Province is a food paradise compared with Taiwan Province.
But there are also many distinctive ones. Of course, try it when you come to Macau.
I would like to add that there is only one government hospital and health center in Macau, and that government hospital is at the top of the mountain, which is common for Macau people. Medical treatment is free. Except for government hospitals and health centers, private hospitals do not have such benefits. It seems that there are a lot of formalities. Most of them must be permanent residents to enjoy these benefits. Recently, the SAR Government also issued 5 medical vouchers to each permanent resident.
Besides, there is no wedding gift, and I haven't heard of any maternity gift. There is an old-age gift, but it is definitely difficult to support life with this money.
Why is it that we rarely hear that Macao is the star of Hong Kong?
Hong Kong people jokingly call Macao the back garden of Hong Kong. Indeed, people call it "Hong Kong and Macao, Hong Kong and Macao", and Macao and Hong Kong are inseparable. However, after a short stay here, it seems that although Macao and Hong Kong are close at hand, they have different flowers and are very different. Take the entertainment circle as an example. The Hong Kong entertainment circle is really the hottest and most flamboyant advocate today. There are a lot of stars in the circle, such as Chow Yun Fat, Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, Maggie Cheung, Carina Lau and Aaron Kwok ... I'm afraid that if you ask a child casually in the world Chinese circle at present, you can answer their "brief history" and tell their roles, and their reputation is extremely great. In contrast, Macao's entertainment circle is like a "cold palace", silent and without half a star. What the hell is going on here?
There is only one chamber orchestra in Macao, and only one TV series and movie has been produced.
Macao spends a lot of money to hold music festivals and art festivals every year, in order to achieve artistic exchanges and improve the cultural and artistic level of Macao as a whole. On the other hand, Macao's own professional entertainment circle has never been formed. Up to now, there is only one professional art group in Macau-Macau Chamber Orchestra, which originally had 23 members, and now there are only 12 members left. Macao TV started very late and started broadcasting in 1984. Up to now, ATV has only filmed a four-episode TV series called Skynet, and all the actors are amateurs. I also made a movie "The Tomb of the Burglar", but the actors, scripts and productions are all in the Mainland, only a film production company is registered in Macau. In recent years, all aspects of Macao have tried to expand their own entertainment circle, hoping to have their own stars, but after several efforts, they all failed. Mr. Lin Xiao Paik of the Macao Cultural Bureau once said something that made Macao people very depressed. Macao, inspired by Hong Kong's experience, tried to cultivate star celebrities from beauty pageants. Because many Hong Kong stars, such as Maggie Cheung, entered the entertainment circle through beauty pageants. From 1985 to 1997, the campaign for Miss Macao was held in Macao. Until then, * * * selected many outstanding performing artists, such as four sisters from a native Portuguese family, who all ran for the title of "Miss Macao". However, because there was no entertainment market to attract them, there was no way to continue to maintain their popularity. In the end, they had to open an "Australian Sister Restaurant", which has been very prosperous so far.
Macao, which has no entertainment market support, only depends on imported goods and entertains itself
Compared with Hongkong and Taiwan Province, Macao's own market is too small, with a population of over 4,, and it can't support a professional literary team in any case. Mr. Bai of Lin Xiao thinks this is the most fundamental reason that affects the development of Macao's entertainment industry. The process of an entertainer's fame in Hong Kong depends on the constant spread of television and other media, and on the photogenic rate. The great development of television broadcasting in Hong Kong began in the 197s, and Macao was more than 1 years later. Moreover, the transmission power of the two is incomparable. Macao people watch Hong Kong TV most of the time, but Macao TV can't cover Hong Kong at all. Faced with Hong Kong's powerful communication network, advertisers are reluctant to invest in Macao TV, so Macao TV has no financial resources to develop its own entertainment programs. Without the support of TV coverage, Macao's big stars will not grow up. Rong Yunlin, a little girl from Macau who sang "Song of Seven Sons", was introduced through the mainland media.
