Macau Tower

The Lotus flower is the symbol of the modern Metropolis of Macau that retrieves her energy from the deep legacy inherited from the past five centuries.

Now between her two new lakes, another Lotus, shining in metal, has risen from the dust and mud, reaching the blue and clear skies. Macau Tower was born.

In respecting the balance between tradition and technology, Macau is a fortunate city because it possesses both strong tradition and high technology.

The Tower will enhance the riverside use of the city, and will launch a taste and challenge toward modernity in the beginning of the new millennium. These technological assets can be compared with the old Light House and the foreign ancient ships that anchored in Macau throughout the centuries.
