Renauda got it - Macau was handed over from Portugal to China in 1999. IIRC, it was December 31st symbolically, ending 500 years of European colonization of Asia.
I was there maybe 7 years later and found no one spoke any Portuguese. It’s a huge gambling Mecca and has a separate visa regime than China because of it.

Hey I did too but got the year wrong

Macau was an occasional (but long) night out when I would be in Hong Kong. Untold debauchery often ensued.

It was pretty "seedy" when under Portugal. I think it really took off when China took over, which is kind of surprising.
(I once had a taxi drive me around the course that the Formual 1 (or maybe Formula 3) raced. Do they still have that race?

It's F3 - and they still run it, although it's been cancelled of late due to Covid. Both Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher won the race before becoming big stars in F1.
