The is the Macau Sky Tower which at 338 metres, is a very tall tower for such a little place. Macau is a bit of a gambling mecca, and this tower was built by local casino-billionaire Stanley Ho Hung-Sun after he saw the New Zealand Sky Tower, and decided he wanted one for himself.

The Macau Tower is also yet another member of the World Federation of Great Towers to add to the collection.

Thanks to Mark and Rob B.

    Here you can see 2 of the 3 bridges which link the two islands of Macau. On the west the first structures of the newly built bridge number 3 (Sai Van Bridge) are visible in the water. This bridge was opened this year.

    I’d like to have my own tower too. That a shame I’m not a billionaire
