Hong Kong
and Macau's Past
This pathfinder is designed for Form 4 students, who would like to learn
more about the history of Hong Kong and
Macau
. Starting from small fishing
villages, both of them become territories under foreign administration with Hong
Kong coming under British rule and Macau under the Portuguese.
The dynamic and rapid growth of these places has transformed them into international
metropolitan cities. At the end of 20th
century, both cities reunited with
China
and become Special Administrative Regions (SAR) of the People's Republic of
China
. In this pathfinder, you will find
online resources that will help you find out more about these places and their
histories.
