I picked Macao.

Macao is one of the Special Administrative Regions for the People's Republic of China. Macao's economy relies a lot on gambling and tourism but also has some manufacuring. Macao was the first and last European colony in China. According to The World Factbook; Macao has the second highest life expectancy in the world.

The Macoa Peninsula is the oldest and most populated part of Macao. The Guia Hill is the highest point of the peninsula at about 50 to 75 meters on average. South of the peninsula is the Taipa Coloane island, connected by three bridges. Even more south of that is the Cotai island.

Macao is made up of one peninsula and two islands, therefore, there are not many rivers/lake in Maco. The body of water east of Macao is Zhujiang Kou.

Macoa's government is headed by secretariats (commissioners) and reported directly to the Chief Executive of Macao. The current Cheif executive is Fernando Chui Sai On. They have a "one country, two systems" polocy.

Macao is known as the "Las Vegas" of China because it is filled with casinos. The top 5 places to go when visiting Macao is: 1. the Macoa Tower. 2. Nam Van Lake Cybernetic Fountain. 3. Macao Grand Prix. 4.Mount Fortress. 5. the casinos.
