Macau
Macau splits usefully between the historic peninsula (UNESCO churches, Portuguese-Chinese streets, ferry terminals) and Cotai’s integrated-resort strip, where hotel brands, shopping and large-scale dining sit under one climate-controlled roof. Cotai Water Jet and TurboJET link Hong Kong in about an hour; Macau International Airport and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge handle regional arrivals, with resort shuttles covering the last mile. Book Cotai suite inventory early for weekends and Golden Week, and keep one peninsula morning if heritage is part of the excuse for the trip.
