The Macau Fisherman's Wharf (Chinese: 澳門漁人碼頭; Portuguese: Doca dos Pescadores) is a themed entertainment, retail and hotel complex and former amusement park in Sé, Macau, China.
The construction of the theme park took 5 years, before an opening ceremony by the Chief Executive of Macau and trial operation began on December 31, 2005. After one year of trial operation, the wharf was officially opened on December 31, 2006.
Architecture
The complex includes over 70 stores and restaurants in buildings built in the style of different world seaports such as Cape Town, and Amsterdam, a convention and exhibition centre, a marina, two hotels and a casino spanning over 133,000 square metres (1,430,000 sq ft) of area. The theme park gets 40% of its area from reclamation from the sea.[1]
