Macao is in the southeast of China. It's only forty miles from Hong Kong and it is easy to reach. You can get there by ship. It is an interesting place and it has a long history. Macao is a part of China and most people living there are Chinese.
The first Europeans to go to Macao came from Portugal (葡萄牙). More than four hundred years ago, the Portuguese went there to do business with China. Some didn't leave and made their homes there. They built strong forts(城堡) to protect the city and the harbor(港口). They also built churches, schools, hospitals and other places. Slowly the city grew. People from many countries came to live, and work in Macao.
Today many people visit Macao. It is relaxing to walk around and look at the old buildings and forts. You may feel you are back in the old days. Of course, some of the buildings are now in ruins(毁坏). The Church of St. Paul has only the front wall with many steps leading up to it. But it is still interesting to see.
When you are hot and tired, there are small cool gardens to rest in. When you are hungry, there are good restaurants with many kinds of food. Nearby are some islands, which are also nice to visit and are easy to get to. There is certainly a lot to see and to do in Macao. People of Macao warmly welcome visitors from home and overseas(海外的).
