60km west of Hong Kong on the other side of the Pearl River, Macau has retained a lot of its Portuguese colonial influence despite its small size. Comprising of a peninsula and 2 large islands that have been connected through land reclamation, this place is famous for its gambling, although there are also plenty of historic sights to enjoy.Getting here has become easier with the new bridge to Hong Kong, although there are still frequent ferries and regional tourists can also fly directly into the small airport just next to the casinos.
