ResumoGeneral Background The overseas province of Portugal, Macau (Aomen in Chinese, meaning 'Portal of the Bay'), adjoins the Guangdong (Canton) Province of South-East China. Situated at the estuary of the Pearl River, from which flow waters of South China's three great rivers, the East, North and the West Rivers, Macau is a mere six miles in area. The tiny province consists of the Peninsula of Macau where the city and the bulk of the population, numbering about 500,000, may be found, and two islands, Taipa and Coloane. The Peninsula with an area of 2.1 square miles, is connected to Taipa Island (1.4 square miles) by a bridge completed in 1974. Taipa, in turn, is connected to Coloane (2.5 square miles) by a causeway.
