As a world cultural heritage site, Macau has a unique blend of historical charm and modern charm and unique tourism resources, making it a popular travel destination. This year, Macau tourism has shown strong momentum of development, injecting new vitality into the Macau economy.
Wu Jialing, CCTV reporter: The Ruins of St. Paul's has a history of more than 400 years, and tourists from all over the world come here to visit and take photos every day. Every Spring Festival, National Day and other days, this place will become an important place for holding activities. Data shows that in recent years, tourism in Macau has continued to heat up, and tourists from the mainland are the main force, accounting for nearly 70%.

Macau not only has many historical sites, but also new tourist landmarks. In the core area of Macau's historic city, a brand new building opened this year and became a new landmark of Macau's comprehensive tourism. Standing on its rooftop, you can have a panoramic view of 8 World Heritage attractions within 100 meters, hence the name "M8". M8 is the first commercial urban renewal project since Macau's return to the motherland. It is not only a microcosm of Macau's history and culture, but also attracts many young people through the integration of old and new.

Macao is one of the cities with the highest concentration of world cultural heritage in the world. Data shows that this city, which covers an area of only 33.3 square kilometers, has more than 170 attractions of different types. In 1999, Macau received only 7 million tourists. As of December 7 this year, this number has reached 32.54 million, which is approximately 47 times its total population. In recent years, Macao has made great efforts to build a world tourism and leisure center and develop the tourism and leisure industry, which is also an important part of the moderately diversified development of Macao's economy.
