Back to Mainland and heading for Guangzhou. One Country, Two Systems... two checkpoints! The journey starts with people flocking at Macau's Border Gate square and lining up inside the Border Gate building. After passing the frontier checkpoint, a tax free no man's land, and Zhuhai's Gongbei immigration & custom checkpoint one arrives at an underground mall that combines a busy pedestrian walkway, shopping plaza & coach station. Snapshots ...
The second day in Macau started with a rooftop view over a smokestack. From the thirteen-floor rooftop of a housing block, located adjacent to one of sharpest corners of Macau's Guia racing circuit, a white industrial obelisk divides the city's view. This was followed by a long stroll in downtown, picking up Luso references along the way.
During the past week, MovingCities went exploring China's Pearl River Delta region. Already familiar with understanding Macau's incredible urban density, being one of the world's highest [from street-level (Jan09) and rooftops (Jul09)] Mónica Carriço went exploring another part of the peninsula: the outer harbour.
Highways, elevated roads, bridges, tunnels, waiting rooms, tarmac, airports, cabins, runways, food for flying, turbojet, window seats, clouds, seafood, suburbs, aerophotography, land reclamation, islands, shipyards, masses, gambling, golf courts, corridors and borders. This week we are in the Pearl River Delta. First stop: Macau. A journey in snapshots.
The last leg of our one week travel to Macau and Hong Kong, in function of the Urban Panorama Workshop, consisted of the crossing of the Macau and Zhuhai border, followed by a 3 hour drive to Shenzhen over the INFRARED© infrastructure of the Pearl River Delta (PRD).
On Monday July 6, MovingCities moved from Macau to Hong Kong. As during our Shenzhen to Macau travel, we traveled by turbojet. A couple of snapshots while speeding through the mouth of the Pearl River Delta. After the skyline, the sea.
After Friday's city tour (part I & II), Saturday was the TIMC09!!!-event second day devoted to the collaborative works on the Urban Panorama Workshop. After a full day of observation, a short day of interpretation and speculation. At the end of the day, a party at Macau's Albergue showcasing artists from Hong Kong and Beijing.
