Macau

Coloane (Portuguese: Coloane) was formerly known as Yanwan, Yanzaowan, Jiuao Island or Apowei. It was named after Jiuao Bay in the northeast corner and Jiuao Mountain on the island. In addition, some people believe that the Portuguese name of Coloane is a transliteration of the island's ancient Cantonese name "Guoluwan". It is now a part of Macau and one of the four major parts (regions) that make up Macau. Since most of the island has not been developed, it has rich vegetation and beautiful scenery, so Coloane is known as Macau's last back garden. The area above the middle of the highest peak of Coloane Island, Deshitangshan, is designated as a country park and Mazu Cultural Village and is strictly protected. Coloane was originally an independent island. The northern coastline runs along Shek Pai Wan Road to the east coast of Yingshan Lake (now the site of the Outlying Islands Hospital [1]) [2]. Due to long-term land reclamation, it is now connected to Taipa. The area between the two islands formed by land reclamation is now Cotai.

Taipa Island (Portuguese: Ilha da Taipa), also known as Taipa Island, was formerly known as Tanzai, Jijing, Longhuan, and Longtouhuan. It is a place name in Macau, China, and is one of the three parts of Macau, China. It is located about 2.5 kilometers south of the Macau Peninsula, across the sea from the Xiaohengqin Island in Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province to the west. It covers an area of ​​6.33 square kilometers [1] and has a population of about 104,000. Taipa Island runs from northeast to southwest, with Taipa Mountain in the east, Xiaotan Mountain in the west, and flat land in the middle. Taipa Mountain is 158.2 meters above sea level and is the highest point on Taipa Island. Taipa is connected to the Macau Peninsula through the Governor Nobre de Carvalho Bridge, the Friendship Bridge and the Sai Van Bridge. [2]
