Macau is situated
southeast of China, on the western bank of the Pearl River Delta of Guangdong
Province. It lies 70 kilometers southwest of Hong Kong and 145 kilometers
from Guangzhou.
 Macau
has a total area of approximately 21 square kilometers, consisting of
a narrow peninsula of Macau, which is linked to the People's Republic
of China at Portas do Cerco ("Border Gate"). The territory is also connected
to the island of Taipa by two bridges, the old bridge "Governor Nobre
de Carvalho" (2.6km) and the new bridge "Amizade" (4.4km), which in turn
is joined to the island of Coloane by a 2.1km causeway.
The weather in the
territory is moderately hot, with an average annual temperature of just
over 20° C and a yearly mean variation between 6 to 25° C with high humidity
in summer (April - September). Humidity percentages range from 73 to 90%.
Do expect an occasional short period of heavy rains and sporadic
tropical storms.
A
good time to go to Macau would be during the autumn season, which is from
October to December, when days are sunny and warm and the humidity low.
Winter is from January to March and it can get cold, but one can expect
to have some periods of clear skies as well.
