MACAO FROM THE SKY is a thrilling journey over a territory whose contours and silhouette are constantly changing.

It is a unique journey over a universe of culture, leisure and business and where historical heritage can be seen hand in hand with signs of a planned future.

It is a visual narrative that shows its heritage, the vitality of its economic and tourist growth.

In an attractive sequence of remarkable views, the four corners of the Macao and the islands of Taipa and Coloane are illustrated in a series of captioned aerial photographs or from an aeroplane in the pioneering period of the thirties.

MACAO FROM THE SKY is indispensable at the end of the millennium, a special period in the affirmation of its character and potential, after 450 years of Portuguese administration and at the moment MACAO returns to the sovereignty of the Chinese Peoples’ Republic.

Published in 1999, this book is today a document of an important moment of the past of this territory.
