Macau Meat Market Porters

A group of red uniformed meat market traders manhandle joints of pork from the back of a meat wagon at Macaus main meat market, on the Rua Sul do Mercado de Sao Domingos, on 10th August 1994, in Macau, China. The market is just off the Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro, in Central Macau. The men have on hooded red tunics that hide the bloodstains of dead animal carcasses, a very practical choice of colour. The Macau Special Administrative Region is one of the two special administrative regions of the Peoples Republic of China PRC, along with Hong Kong. Administered by Portugal until 1999, it was the oldest European colony in China, dating back to the 16th century. The administrative power over Macau was transferred to the Peoples Republic of China PRC in 1999, 2 years after Hong Kongs own handover.
