Fireworks! China celebrates the 20th anniversary of the annexation of Macau
On December 20, 1999, the Portuguese colony was transferred to China and Macau became a special administrative region.
This happened for the reason that Portugal decided to abandon all its foreign colonies due to the high costs of their maintenance. The people of Macau were happy because the Chinese government helped to stabilize the situation (previously there were many gangs of triads) and make the city safer to live in. Unfortunately, there remains a big problem of flooding in the city (up to the 2nd floor, due to the low level relative to the sea.
The population of Macau is 653 thousand people, of which less than 5% speak Portuguese. The rest are in Cantonese.
In 2019, 36 million people visited Macau.
Macau has a large seaport and a huge gambling zone.
On December 18, 2019, Xijingping, the President of China, will arrive in Macau on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the annexation of Macau.
On December 22, 2019, from 21.00-21.30, a festive fireworks display will be held next to the Macau Tower, on both sides of the Sai Van Bridge.

The fireworks display is held as a joint Zhuhai-Macau event and focuses on the unity of these cities.
For those who want to watch the fireworks, registration in the Wichat mini app is required.
It is worth noting that there are unprecedented security measures and enhanced border controls in Macau right now.
I’ve been to Macau about 15 times already, I really like this city, it has a special atmosphere and an amazing combination of Lisbon and Canton.
