Hey friends! Guess what? Chinese President Xi Jinping attended a special gathering to celebrate Macao’s 25th anniversary of returning to China! 🥳
What’s Macao? Macao is a small region on the southern coast of China. It was once a Portuguese colony for over 400 years! That’s like your great-great-great-great grandparents’ time. On December 20, 1999, Macao officially rejoined China and became the Macao Special Administrative Region.
Why is this a big deal? This anniversary marks 25 years since Macao came back to China. It’s a time to celebrate how far they’ve come and to look forward to the future. President Xi’s visit shows how important Macao is to China and how they’re growing together.
Cool facts about Macao:
- It’s known as the “Las Vegas of Asia” because of its exciting casinos and bright lights! 🎰
- Macao mixes Chinese and Portuguese cultures, so you’ll see a blend of traditions, buildings, and food. Yum! 🍲
- It’s one of the most densely populated places in the world—lots of people in a small area! 🏙️
Celebrations like this are fun and remind us of the importance of history and friendship. Happy 25th Anniversary, Macao! 🎆
