NAPE
NAPE (Novos Aterros do Porto Exterior) is a reclaimed waterfront district on the Macau Peninsula, where I.M. Pei's cone-shaped Science Centre and the bronze Kun Iam statue face the harbour just beyond rows of casino resorts. It sits beside Macau's historic UNESCO core, giving it a split identity: part neon-lit gaming strip, part quiet promenade and park.
