Macao Address Format
Latin-script Macao addresses run from the smallest unit to the largest: recipient, street name with house number, then the district or area (Taipa, Coloane or Cotai for addresses off the peninsula; peninsula addresses often go straight to 'Macao'), and the country name. Official street names are Portuguese and bilingual Chinese-Portuguese signs are standard. Chinese-language addresses reverse this order, starting with 澳門.
