HONG KONG

Hong Kong, the former British colony for nearly 150 years, is one of the two Special Administrative Regions (SAR) of China (the other being Macau). Hong Kong and Macau is so near to each other that you can easily plan a day trip to Macau from Hong Kong by ferry, or vice versa. But I visited Hong Kong and Macau in separate trips. I visited Hong Kong in 2008 and 2 years later, I visited Macau.

MACAU - Cotai and Coloane

Cotai is a piece of reclaimed land between Taipa and Coloane islands in Macau. Many hotels and casinos can be found in the vicinity of Cotai Strip. The largest and most notable casino hotel at Cotai Strip is Las Vegas Sands’ Venetian Macao.

MACAU - Peninsula

When people mention Macau, the first impression that come to mind is usually gambling. But it’s the historic part of Macau that really attracts me to visit it in 2010. Macau Peninsula is the first place I visited since it is the most populous and historic part of Macau. Large sections of Macau Peninsula has been designated a UNESCO Heritage Site known as the Historic Centre of Macau.  

As I didn’t travel to any new countries last year, I’ll just update in my blog some of the countries which I have visited before I created this blog.
