    The city of Macau occupies most of the hilly peninsula; its border with the Chinese province of Guangdong is marked by the massive Barrier Gate erected by the Portuguese in 1849. Macau is the commercial and administrative center of the territory and has more than 80 percent of the total population. The islands are mostly rocky and contain several villages and some small agricultural plots. The peninsula is linked by bridge to one of the Taipa islands, which in turn is connected by causeway with Coloane. Ongoing land reclamation projects are adding considerable area to the small territory.
    Macau is a free port, which means that all vessels may load or unload there without paying import duties. Manufactures include textiles, footwear, firecrackers, electronic equipment, precision instruments, and handicrafts, and the city has an active fishing fleet and exports fish products. Tourism is an important industry, with many visitors attracted by the gambling casinos. Macau is connected by ferry to Guangzhou (Canton) and Hong Kong. The Macau International Airport opened in December 1995. The population is about 95 percent Chinese.
    First visited by Portuguese navigators in the early 16th century, Macau was established as a trading colony in 1557. It soon flourished as the principal trading port between China and the West. In 1849 the Portuguese proclaimed sovereignty of the settlement; this act was formally recognized by China in a treaty in 1887. By the end of the 19th century, with the silting of its harbor and the growth of the port of Hong Kong, Macau lost its preeminence in Chinese trade. As its trade declined, Macau gained a reputation as a smuggling and gambling center. Its population was swelled by refugees from Communist China after 1949. In 1967 the city experienced severe pro-Communist riots. In the late 1970s Macau was given increased administrative and economic independence. In 1987 Portuguese and Chinese negotiators reached agreement on the return of Macau to China in 1999. Population (1989 estimate) 484,000.
