The Regional flag of the Macau Special Administrative Region
of the People's Republic of China (Chinese: 中華人民共和國澳門特別行政區區旗; Portuguese: Bandeira
regional da Região Administrativa Especial de Macau da República Popular da
China) is light green with a lotus flower above the stylized Governador Nobre
de Carvalho Bridge and water in white, beneath an arc of five gold,
five-pointed stars: one large in the center of the arc and four smaller ones.
The lotus was chosen as the floral emblem of Macau. The
Governor Nobre de Carvalho Bridge is a bridge linking the Macau Peninsula and
the island of Taipa. The bridge is one of the most recognizable landmarks for
the territory. The water beneath the lotus and the bridge symbolize Macau's
position as a port and its role played in the territory. The five five-pointed
stars echo the design of the flag of the People's Republic of China, symbolizing
the relationship Macau has with its sovereign state.
According to the Basic Law of Macau, the Macau Regional Flag
is a green flag with five stars, lotus flower, bridge and sea water. This law
also adopted "Apart from displaying the Flag of the People's Republic of
China, the Macao Special Administrative Region may also use a regional
flag".
