Making Good Use of Downtime

We were at the sea area in front of the Macau Tower, waiting for the Annual Macau Fireworks Display contest to start.

We got there early enabling us to get good front row seats.  The drawback was we had to wait… took advantage and took these shots of the good-looking Sai Van Bridge as the sun sets.

Once considered remote from Peninsular Macau, when they were accessible only by small ferries, the islands of Taipa and Coloane have developed as integrated suburbs since being linked to the mainland by 3 bridges.

One of them is this bridge Sai Van Bridge, opened in January of 2005.  It is the first cable-stayed bridge in Macau.  The double deck bridge has 6 lanes in the upper deck while the lower deck has 4.

More of the fireworks in upcoming posts.  For more scenes from around the world click image below.
