The Basic Law of Macao stipulates that "in addition to the national flag and national emblem of the people of China, the Macao Special Administrative Region may also hang and use the regional flag of the macao special administrative region and the regional emblem."
There are five stars, lotus flowers, small bridges and seawater patterns on the regional flag of the macao special administrative region and the regional emblem, and the background color is green. In the middle of the regional emblem are five stars, lotus flowers, small bridges and seawater, and around it are written "People's Republic of China (PRC) Special Administrative Region" in Chinese, and the Portuguese name of Macao is "Macau".
The Macao regional flag has far-reaching significance.
Macao is like a lotus. The Macao Peninsula, (B+ water) Tsai Island and Coloane Island constitute the three petals of this beautiful lotus in the South China Sea. Macao was called "Lotus Island" in ancient times, and lotus has become a symbol of Macao. Therefore, both regional flag of the macao special administrative region and the regional emblem adopt the lotus pattern: under the illumination of the five red stars of the motherland, a lotus flower is in bud, symbolizing the future prosperity of Macao.
Green is the background color, symbolizing peace and tranquility; Five five-pointed stars arranged in an arc symbolize that the China government will resume the exercise of sovereignty over Macao; Lotus, small bridges and seawater are the representatives of Macao's natural geography and landscape, and they also place their good wishes for Macao's stable development after its return to the motherland.
