Near Macau and about to be massively developed, check out http://横琴新区.cn - still some little gems out there?

Yeah - this is a smallish piece of land being "gifted" by China to Macau.
It is the old "no mans land", that is just over a small river that runs between Macau main Island and Zhuhai.

My understanding is that the main focus of the development is a new campus for Macau University (large expansion of their present small campus, which is limited at the moment, due to the land size of their present site).
At least is what was told in a meeting had in Macau when assisting my friend in construction with proposals for the New University.

Although there is also some plans for some sort of smallish residential development as well, as I understand (Note: Gaming / casino's will remain limited to the other land areas in Macau which have already been allocated i.e. not be within this new district).

Be interesting to see what hits are like for this IDN later

A bit more than that according to this but time will tell!

Yeah - time will tell
As aside from the New University Campus (political reason for development), the rest is still under discussion / negotiation i.e. nothing is set in concrete yet.
Note: University will be very large campus and their is good money in Education these days (University wil be far from free education )

So not be surprised if they add extensions of the University - as this was mentioned too (e.g. software centre hub - although there is one of those in Bejing already) and of course some resort facilities with gold courses, to "fund" the public development works, is very likely (general conversation so far though, is that this will not include casino / gaming rights though, but who knows, could change at some point in the future).

Good luck with this IDN..
