history

Stanley Ho, the managing director of Macau Tourism and entertainment Co., Ltd., visited Auckland, the former capital of New Zealand, in the 1990s and was deeply impressed by the sky tower in the city.

After returning to Macao, he decided to build a similar tower in Macao, so he invited Gordon Moller, a famous New Zealand architect, to design it.

The construction of Macao tourist tower started in 1998 and officially opened on December 19, 2001.

Since June 2001, Macao tourism tower has cooperated with AJ Hackett to launch the world's highest SkyJump, which has set a Guinness world record of "the world's highest commercial deceleration landing".

On December 17, 2006, AJ Hackett launched the world's highest commercial bungee jump in Macao tourist tower, setting two Guinness World Records for the tourist tower: "the highest bungee jump from a building" and "the world's highest commercial bungee jump facility".

The participants jumped from 233 meters high, only 20 seconds, at a speed of 75 kilometers per hour. They could experience the leap in the air. It was very exciting.

Jumpers must first put on special flying clothes, which will be connected with three steel wires that can bear 3000 kg tensile force, so that they can still keep the smooth and stable flight process even in strong wind. The landing process is not controlled by hands or engines. When the distance is about 10 meters from the ground, the steel wire will turn to the down gear mode, so that the jumpers can easily land without rebound action or body movement If you turn upside down, you can also feel the stimulation of fast falling.
