Coloane, or Lo Wan in Cantonese, is an island on the southernmost part of Macau. It measures 4km in length, and is separated from the Macau peninsula by the island of Taipa. Lately, land reclamation has merged the islands of Coloane and Taipa into one single island. The new land in between these two islands is called Cotai, an amalgam of Coloane and Taipa, and here, several mega projects are being developed.
