Oh, that's a beautiful city view! How interesting that the bridge, casino and monument are meant to resemble a dragon.
There was a Macau casino that was featured in the 1974 James Bond movie "The Man with the Golden Gun".
we like the James Bond movies - so I will have to watch out for that casino next time that movie is on.
