Macau - does not look like part of China
Review of General: Macau by
ozcr
Advantages: sweet, cute little island, a lot of touristic sites
Disadvantages: vast empty areas
Macau is an island that is now part of China and was handed over by the Portuguese quite recently. This island does not remind me of mainland China at all, something like Hong Kong is so different too. Macau is a warm island and is very small.
We arrived by plane though you can also get there by ship. I wasn't very impressed with the first impression i got of it but it grew on me little by little. While driving to the hotel it just looked like ...

a place for gambling
Review of General: Macau by
veni
Advantages: famous casino
Disadvantages: try out your luck
Macau is famous for its casino more than its scenical points. Many people from Hong Kong just go there for gambling.

beautiful island
Review of General: Macau by
mshirato
Advantages: architecture
Disadvantages:
Like most people, I went to Macau from Hong Kong on a ferry. It is very easy and accessible. Macau was so much nicer from Hong Kong. Maybe it is much smaller and less activities, but the architecture was so beautiful. The buildings were very colourful: pink, green, blue, yellow. I felt as though I was in a fairy tale.
