Top 10 city escapes in China

10、Macau

Macau (澳门) is just forty miles west of Hong Kong, across the Pearl River Delta. Although known as China's Las Vegas because of its 40 casinos, Macau is rich in other attractions and oozes atmosphere, thanks to hundreds of years of fusion between European and Chinese cultures.

Macau is a fascinating place to just stroll around as it is packed with churches, temples fortresses and other old buildings displaying a fascinating mix of Portuguese and Chinese features. Explore the maze of narrow alleyways in the old town and watch the people of Macau working and running their businesses. Other options are a visit to a sauna, the greyhound track or the Macau Jockey Club. If you are brave enough, you can risk the 233m bungee jump (the highest in the world) from the Macau tower. And don't forget to sample Macau's unique cuisine - a fusion of Portuguese and Chinese styles.
