Located away from the built-up areas and by the water, Macau Tower offers an unobstructed view of the city as well as some daredevil activities with a view. Zhuhai seems to be on a skyscraper-building spree in the background though.
Mainland China is just on the other side of that narrow channel.
Looking north, the main part of Macau is the historic centre that now has UNESCO World Heritage status. The gold skyscraper is one of Stanley Ho's casinos, the new Grand Lisboa.
While most of the new casinos are on the Cotai side, there are a few here as well. Beyond the sea are Hong Kong's mountains in the background.
