Kong/Macau
Now part of
China, HKG consists of Kowloon, New Territories, Hong Kong Island
and the Outlying Islands. The view from Victoria Peak down to one
of the busiest harbours in the world is nothing less than
spectacular. Macau is Asia's answer to Las Vegas and is about an
hour by ferry from Hong Kong.
