Macao Week launched at the China Pavilion during World Expo 2025 Osaka on Friday, offering a vibrant showcase of the region's cultural and economic achievements. The three-day 'Experience Macao' event combines digital innovation with traditional heritage, drawing global attention to the Special Administrative Region's unique identity.
A Digital Journey Through Macao
Visitors explore interactive zones like 'Macao Impressions,' where UNESCO World Heritage sites come alive through touchable screens, and 'East-West Fusion,' which immerses audiences in fireworks displays and culinary festivals. The 'World Heritage Walk' allows virtual tours of Macao's historic architecture, blending past and present.
Cultural Performances Draw Crowds
Portuguese folk dances and lion dance performances energize the plaza outside the China Pavilion, while tourism mascot Mak Mak welcomes photo opportunities. The programming underscores Macao's role as a hub for cultural coexistence since its return to China in 1999.
Global Stage for Regional Identity
This marks Macao's first overseas World Expo appearance since 2010 Shanghai, highlighting its evolution as a model for balancing heritage preservation with modern innovation. The China Pavilion itself has attracted over 1.7 million visitors since April, demonstrating strong international interest in Chinese cultural diplomacy.
