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.

Its western part is the historic financial center of Macau. Praia Grande Central Business District (南灣中心商業區) is in the south-central part of the district. All banks (over 20) in Macau have offices here.

There are numerous quality restaurants, and 4- and 5-star hotels in this district. High-rise buildings exist on the eastern ZAPE and NAPE zone, which was reclaimed from the sea, with a ferry terminal located on the eastern edge of the parish.
