How it's used
Refers specifically to the island in Macau that is now connected to Coloane via the reclaimed land known as Cotai. While it was historically a separate island, the massive land reclamation projects have physically linked it to other parts of Macau, though locals still distinguish it as a distinct area. It is the primary location for most of the major casino resorts and the international airport.
