In this "corner of Western Europe," it is common to find Chinese blue-and-white porcelain, chrysanthemum tea, and red lanterns, as many Portuguese have lived in Macau.

The book is accompanied by nearly 100 beautiful illustrations. It will provide the best assistance for readers who are working, studying, or wish to understand Portugal.
