Hong Kong & Macau Travel Guide

About Hong Kong & Macau

Hong Kong is where China meets the world — a city of dizzying skyscrapers, street food stalls, colonial trams, and jungle-covered peaks. Take the Star Ferry across Victoria Harbour, ride the Peak Tram for the city's iconic skyline view, and eat your way through dim sum, roast goose, and egg tarts. A one-hour ferry ride takes you to Macau — the Las Vegas of Asia, but also a UNESCO World Heritage site with Portuguese colonial architecture, egg tarts, and the world's highest commercial bungee jump.
