Key quotes
· 3 pulledThe Macau Tower Convention and Entertainment Centre is 338 metres (1,109ft) from ground level to its highest point.
At around three-quarters of the way up, there is a revolving restaurant, to which a vertigo-inducing glass-fronted lift will launch you in just under a minute.
If that is not high enough, you'll need to strap on a harness, go outside, and climb the rest for yourself.
