China - Macau - Young and old in market crowds

A Macanaese (Portuguese-Chinese) mother carries her baby in a sling on her back while shopping for supplies in a Macau market, China in this ex-Portuguese colony. Amid a crowded morning market, the shopping is done for families and the elderly during the rainy season. Macau is now administered by China as a Special Economic Region (SER) and is home to a population of mainland 95% Chinese, primarily Cantonese, Fujianese as well as some Hakka, Shanghainese and overseas Chinese immigrants from Southeast Asia and elsewhere. The remainder are of Portuguese or mixed Chinese-Portuguese ancestry, the so-called Macanese, as well as several thousand Filipino and Thai nationals. The official languages are Portuguese and Chinese.
