Macao used to be a small island at the southern end of Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province (known as Xiangshan County in ancient times). It stood in the sea and was no different from the contemporary offshore islands. Later, due to the alluvial sedimentation of the Xijiang River, Macao was separated from the mainland. Due to the convection of sea water, a sand bank was alluvial between them, and then it was connected to the mainland and became a peninsula.
