Macau — Gaming, Heritage and Food (1hr ferry)
Macau offers a unique blend of Portuguese and Chinese heritage, just 1 hour by ferry (TurboJET, HKD 170-250 return) or 40 minutes via the HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge shuttle (HKD 65-80). Its UNESCO-listed Historic Centre features landmarks like the Ruins of St. Paul's and Senado Square, while culinary must-tries include Lord Stow's egg tarts and Macanese chicken.
