great pics! this is one of my fatower in the world. thumbs up!:okay:

http://www.uberly.com/azn8oi/macautower/

sorry about the quality and huge resolution :P ! and i really do think that i was the fattest person in macau while i was there. and imagine, i'm not even considered fat in america :D LOL

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that going up to the Observation Deck costs MO$70, because I'm not a senior or local. That costs about USD$8.75. I also paid to participate in SKYWALK X, which is why we wore that orange jumpsuit. That costs MO$250, which is a bit more than USD$30, and normally I would've thought that it was a huge rip (because it is) but I had so much cash on me I couldn't even use all of it. We just walked around the tower once, snapping pics with different views (which was worth it, I guess). What I couldn't get over was the amount of people snapping pics of me from inside (GRRRR) :).

The funny thing about that story is that my grandpa was with me, and when I said i wanted to participate he thought I was crazy. Who would've thought that he was crazy enough to get talked into going-- for free? He didn't really want to participate because he was SO scared (as you can imagine a 78 year-old would be). He knew that they were going to use him as a commercial figure (blah blah blah, we had someone who was 78 go, why don't you??). Well, I got more than the 15-minute walk with the group...

This: www.uberly.com/azn8oi/sillycertificate.jpg

and a t-shirt I can't seem to find right now; not that I wear it because even though I ordered it in 'X-LARGE', it's the size of an American MEDIUM. :(

OH ONE MORE THING:

You can climb the spire of the tower; but the price is WAYYYY too silly. It was something liek MO$500. NO THX.

The prize of climbing the spire of the tower is MOP $1500

So do you visit Macau often ?? Do you like it ??

And your dad is working in a foreign company in Macau ??

The first time I visited Macau was last April. Macau is okay, I don't like how we had to use a taxi to get everywhere... I think my dad works in one of the casinos... I forgot what it's called but it's the one with an Egyptian theme and has a water fountain in the front. I'm not even sure what he does.

A true test of guts for those who dare to conquer Macau is conquering Macau Tower, a stunning architectural masterpiece soaring at 338 meters. Designed by the so-called “adventure maestro” AJ Hackett, he made Macau Tower a great destination for the adventurous with nine thrilling challenges including the Flying Fox, Bouldering Wall, Bungy Trampoline and Skywalk X, the world’s highest skywalk.

I love adventures so doing the Skywalk X was inevitable. But to give us a preview, we first walked on the 42-mm thick glass floor of the Observation Lounge, a heart-stopping vertical view, 223 meters above the ground.

And after seeing the panoramic view of Macau overlooking the Pearl River Delta, our group went up to the 61st floor and decided to kill ourselves... with excitement. After suiting up, we walked around the main outer rim of the tower sans handrails, at 233 meters above the ground. Seeing Macau at a 360 degree view was fun and amazing, until our guide asked me to sit on the edge of the walkway for a photo... I freaked out! But I did it anyway, I need to have a really good photo for this story.

The experience was scary, yet exhilarating. An adrenaline-pumping feat not really for the faint-hearted.

It was the highlight of our 4-day familiarization tour courtesy of the Macau Government Tourism Office (MGTO) with MGTO Philippine representative Jet Cabuslay accompanying the group composed of sports and travel writers.

Macau Tower, conveniently located 15 minutes away from Macau International Airport, has been the center of major business and entertainment events since it opened in Dec. 2001. A name equivalent to first-class leisure activities, it also offers dazzling leisure choices from dining, urban adventure, sight-seeing to themed entertainment and shopping.

The Philippines is one of the few countries bent in promoting sports tourism to travelers — giving tourism a different dimension by adding sports and adventure to the country’s already growing list of attractions.

Manuel Silverio, vice president of the Macau Olympic Committee said that it was the first time that he heard such a term and he believes that Macau is actually geared towards that direction.

Over the last decade or so, Macau has been working closely with the local associations and various Asian and international federations to organize more and varied sport events, including the Asian Karting Open Championship, FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour, Macau Golf Open, Asian Triathlon Championship, and many more. These are important especially in preparation for its hosting of the 4th East Asian Games slated in October next year... Demonstrating the cosmopolitan city’s commitment and potential to becoming the "Sports Destination of Asia."

Macau Special Administrative Region (SAR) is located on the southeast coast of China, to the west of the Pearl River Delta, bordering on Guangdong Province and lies 60 kms. from Hong Kong. It covers a total area of 23.8 sq. kms. consisting of the narrow peninsula of Macau and two outer islands, Taipa and Coloane.

In preparation for the 4th East Asian Games, a number of modern sports facilities have been built, with some still under construction, to house the competitions.

The biggest and perhaps the most impressive of all the new facilities is the Macau East Asian Games Dome. Also known as "The Macau Egg," the Dome is considered to be the most sophisticated venue to be built here, estimated to cost $640 million.

The 139,960-square foot dome has two stadiums, capable of holding more than 9,000 people, and a center for conventions of up to 2,000 delegates. It has been designed with two functional pavilions and an exhibition center. Pavilion 1 is for different indoor sports while Pavilion 2, with its central stage and U-shaped spectator seats offer a perfect venue for exhibition sports. The 2-level exhibition center is suitable for large banquets, exhibitions and meetings.

The first major sports infrastructure here is the Macau Olympic Aquatic Centre, inaugurated in March 2003. It has a total area of 3,220 sq. meters which houses an Olympic-sized swimming pool, seating for 1,500 and state-of-the-art media facilities. The 4-storey Media and Information Centre is also an indoor sports venue with advanced information systems to facilitate media coverage for the East Asian Games.

With its idyllic surrounding and a water depth of 5 meters, the Nam Van Lake Nautical Centre is ideal for water sports, including canoeing and dragon boating. The 500-meter, 6-lane competition course can also accommodate 3,880 spectators.

Other venues include the Macau Stadium and Pavilion, Macau International Shooting Range, the Tap Seac Multisport Pavilion, Macau Hockey Center, Tennis Academy and the Bowling Center.

The Macau 2005-4th East Asian Games, participated in by China, North Korea, South Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, Mongolia, Chinese Taipei, Guam and Macau, is expected to provide a succession of invaluable effect on Macau, from community pride and the development of the sports community to the growth of its tourism industry. A series of arts and cultural festivals will be held simultaneously with the Games to promote Macau’s 400-year heritage.

Another sporting event that Macau is famous for is the Macau Grand Prix. Originally conceived in 1954 as an amateur event for local motoring enthusiasts, the Macau Grand Prix is a race meeting to which the world’s leading riders and drivers vie for entries.

This month, Macau will once again wake up with a jolt as more than 300 racing drivers and riders, as well as thousands of motor sports fans, descend on the territory for the world’s only street circuit race meeting which features both car and motorcycle races at its renowned Guia Circuit.

One of the highlights is the Macau Formula 3 Grand Prix, which sees a field of 30 national championship drivers competing to take the chequered flag.

For these young superstars of tomorrow, a win at Macau can guarantee the driver a place in a top Formula 3000 team or, in the case of exceptional talent, an immediate invitation to move in to the pinnacle of motor racing, Formula 1. Proof of which is F1 World Champion Michael Shumacher who quickly established himself as the hottest property in F1 after his win here in 1990.

The Macau Grand Prix has evolved rapidly and is now an event of international renown that attracts the best Formula 3 drivers in the world to compete for the championships at the Guia Circuit, that has rightfully become famous in the world of motorsports for the skill and expertise it requires of drivers.

The Museum of Macau Grand Prix, opened in Nov. 1993, retells the Grand Prix’s long history through a display of race cars and motorcycles. This valuable collection of machines have competed and won the Guia Circuit. It was created by MGTO to celebrate the City’s greatest sporting and social event.

One of New Zealand's most successful tourism adventures will have a look-alike in Macau.

More than 32,000 people have made Sky Jumps at Sky Tower in Auckland since the end of 2000.

Now, the Macau sky jump in China is opening in July. A high profile Chinese celebrity is tipped to take the first leap.

The Macau Sky Jump will be operated by AJ Hackett International using the same technology invented in New Zealand.

In other tourism news, the Routeburn Track has been chosen as one of the best classic hikes in the world, by National Geographic Adventure magazine.

Doesn't it look like the Stratosphere tower in Las Vegas, USA

Hong Kong - Visitors are being offered the chance to jump 233 metres to the ground from the top of the Macau Tower, tourism officials in the southern Chinese enclave announced on Thursday.

The "Sky Jump", which opens on August 17, will give visitors the chance to fly through the air at 75 kilometres an hour for 20 seconds before decelerating to a safe landing speed.

A spokesperson for the Macau government's tourism department said on Thursday the attraction would be the highest adventure of its kind and would attract thrill-seekers from across the region.

The jump will be 41 metres higher than the only other Sky Jump in the world which is at the Sky Tower in Auckland, New Zealand, where the world's highest bungy jump record was created.

Jumpers wear specially tailored suits that are connected to three cables with a strain capacity of 3 000 kilograms for absolute safety, the spokesperson said.

The attraction is masterminded by a bungy jumping expert who began offering sky walks around the rim of the Macau Tower two years ago to increase the appeal of the new tower.

Macau, a densely populated former Portuguese colony of 450 000 west of Hong Kong, is best known for its casinos but has been taking steps to improve its tourism appeal in recent years.

It was last month given World Heritage listing by Unesco for its historic colonial-era squares and streets and has in recent years allowed Las Vegas casinos to break up its Chinese casino monopoly.

Macau government officials are this week holding a week-long Macau Week in Las Vegas to try to attract more North American visitors to the territory. - Sapa-dpa

An exhilarating 20-second flight from a 233-meter height was successfully launched Wednesday at the Macao Tower.

Aj Hackett, pioneer of modern "bungy jumping" and the current Guinness world record holder of the highest bungy jump from building, was in a bid to challenge his second record.

Hundreds of people cheered up to Hackett when he landed safely from the outer rim of the multi-functional tourism tower.

"It was great to jump here in Macao, "Hackett told the crowd on his landing.

When questioned on how he felt in the sky, the adventure professional said, "clean, smooth, and in one word, great."

"You must jump before reporting, " Hackett suggested the media workers chuckling.

He set the previous record of bungy jump in 1998 when he fell through 180 meters from the Sky Tower in Auckland, New Zealand.

What an elegant tower! Can anyone tell me when it was built? Was it after 1999?

the tower was opened at the end of 2001
