Hong Kong
Hong Kong, one of the world's most popular tourist destinations, and a true economic powerhouse, was once just a small fishing village on the edge of the South China Sea. That all changed in the mid-19th century when the British arrived, turning this quiet, out-of-the-way village into a modern, vibrant and sparkling jewel of a city that still flourishes today. On the surface, it's an urban landscape without the charm of what one would consider "China".
If offers the same upscale shopping malls and boutiques found in other world cities has the big city specials like smog, odour and over crowding, yet the small curious nooks, as well as the beautiful greenery and hioking trails, make it unique. The city is also known for it's incredible efficiency as a result of it's convenient transport, quick customer service and fast pace. However the best thing about Hong Kong is the contradictions and confluences of a Chinese coty with multi-Asian and Western elements all rolled into one.

Macau, consists of the Macau Peninsula (attached to mainland China) and the small islands of Taipa and Coloane; all connected by bridge or causeway. Once a simple fishing village, it was colonized by the Portuguese in the 16th century, and became the first European settlement in the Far East. In the middle of its skyscrappers and modern facade sits the Historic Centre of Macau, a "World Heritage Site" that includes several fortresses, an ancient palace, historic buildings and churches, monuments and friendly urban squares. Combine all of that with a wide variety of nitelife options, restaurants and casinos, and you've got a major tourist attraction that's growing in popularity.
