Macau
A popular extension to a China itinerary.
About Macau
Macau blends 400 years of Portuguese colonial heritage with the neon skyline of Asia's biggest casino strip. Cobbled squares and baroque church ruins sit minutes away from resort towers modelled on Venice and Paris.
It's a natural one- or two-day extension to a Guangzhou, Shenzhen or Hong Kong itinerary, reached easily by ferry or the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge.
