Macau
Macau Peninsula
Lying 65km to the west of Hong Kong, Macau is a city of duality. Its fortresses, churches and
the culinary traditions of its former Portuguese colonial masters speak to a uniquely Mediter-
ranean style on the China coast. These are intermixed with the customs, alleys, temples and
shrines of its Chinese heritage. On the other hand, the Special Administrative Region (SAR) of
Macau is the 'Vegas of the East', the only place in China where gambling is legal.
