From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Macau Tower, also known as Macau Sky Tower, is a tower located in Macau, China. From ground level to the highest point it is 338 metres. The main observation level is 223 m above ground.

On a visit to Auckland, New Zealand, Macau casino billionaire Stanley Ho Hung-sun was so impressed by the Sky Tower in Auckland that he commissioned a similar one to be built in Macau.

Construction started in 1998 and the tower was officially opened on December 19, 2001.

It is a member of the World Federation of Great Towers.

As well as being used for observation and amusement, the tower is used for telecommunications and broadcasting.
