This parish was one of five in the former Municipality of Macau, one of Macau's two municipalities that were abolished on 31 December 2001 by Law No. 17/2001, following the 1999 transfer of sovereignty over Macau from Portugal to China. While their administrative functions have since been removed, these parishes are still retained nominally.

It is northeast of the parishes of Santo António and São Lázaro. It borders the Chinese city of Zhuhai to the north.

Description

The parish consists mostly of land reclaimed from the sea. Natural land comprises only a quarter of its current size. It was developed from farmlands in the 1960s and 1970s, to become an industrial area. Forty-one percent of Macau's factories are located in the parish.Template:Citation needed
