圖書簡介

This is neither a travel blog nor a history textbook, but rather, something in between. In the chapters ahead, one will find a collection of stories, anecdotes, and urban legends as witnessed by Macau’s historical landmarks. This book aims to provide an abbreviated explanation for a city with a complicated past. This is by no means a complete historical summary of Macau.
