Macau

12 AUGUST 2013 - MACAU: St. Dominic’s Catholic Church in Macau. The church was established by Spanish friars from Mexico in the 1600s. Catholicism is well entrenched in Macau because of the city’s colonial history with Portugal. Macau, also spelled Macao, is one of the two special administrative regions of the People's Republic of China (PRC), the other being Hong Kong. Macau lies on the western side of the Pearl River Delta across from Hong Kong to the east, bordered by Guangdong province to the north and facing the South China Sea to the east and south. The territory's economy is heavily dependent on gambling and tourism, but also includes manufacturing. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
