Portuguese Macau: The Settlement That Became China’s Gambling Paradise

Written by Kelly Mass

Narrated by Doug Greene

Macau is known as the Las Vegas of China. It attracts many tourists every year, and it has a unique set of laws and history behind it. How did it become this way? Well, one of the reasons is that it used to be part of the Portuguese Empire. We have probably all heard about the British in China, the Opium Wars, and the tea export, but you might not have heard about the Portuguese settlers who went there. Macau still shows signs of Portuguese influence, even when you go there to visit. So, let’s take a look at what happened and how the area evolved into what it is today.

Reviews for Portuguese Macau

[Mary Stepp · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The author certainly understands how to say it flawlessly. This audiobook is wonderful. I found out a lot simply by soaking everything up. The info was great, especially if you already understand a tiny bit about the idea. Really, you might know nothing about it and still follow along easily.
