Macau is a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of the People’s Republic of China as it served as a Portuguese colony till 1999 that began from the mid of the 16th century. The Macao Tower Convention and Entertainment Center is a popular tourist center in Macau under China. Commonly it is termed as the Macau Tower. The construction of the Macau Tower began in 1998 with the initiative of a local casino businessman named Stanley Ho Hung-Sun who travelled into New Zealand where he was charmed with the Sky Tower and felt the necessity to built like that one on his native land – Macau. The height of the tower from ground level to the top point is 338 meters and it was officially opened in 2001 for public.

The tower houses an observation deck for the visitors to get the panoramic view of Macau and there are some eateries, movie theatres and shopping malls too to meet the needs of the global visitors. The tower is also used for some other purposes beside the outdoor observation or other conventional activities. It is also used as a platform of skyjump (on the 65th floor) and commercial photo shoots. Design of the tower was execut4ed by a New Zealand based engineering firm – Beca Group. This is one of the most attractive visiting places in Macau for the travelers for the first time in the city.

When the weather is clear, visitors can see the Hong Kong and Pearl River Delta of China from the observation deck and participate on the adventurous activities. Besides, the tower visitors can get unique items from the shopping malls and the movie theaters will provide them an amazing experience.

Check the weather forecast to plan your visit so you get the very most out of the view up there.
