[edit] Description

Macao, in ancient times a small island off the mainland of Hiang Shan in the Kwang-tung province, has since been united to the coast by a sand bar. This occurrence so disgusted the Chinese that in 1573, shortly after the troubles which the settlement of a few Portuguese involved, they built a barrier across the bar, with a view of excluding foreigners from intruding into the interior of the country".[1]
