Macau: a city of contrasts in pictures
Briefly

Macau's unique blend of rapid economic development and traditional lifestyles highlights stark contrasts; many residents endure harsh conditions despite the city's gambling-driven riches.
Even with a booming gambling industry that generates three times the revenue of Las Vegas, the city's demographic reality shows a significant portion of the population living in poverty.
Macau, the most densely populated region worldwide, illustrates a paradox of wealth and poverty; the casino culture enriches some, while street vendors vanish and traditional life fades.
Once abundant with street eateries, the shifting dynamics of gentrification in Macau threaten its cultural identity, as the city transforms under the pressure of globalization.
