5 Best Day Trips from Hong Kong
"As the only place in China where gaming is legal, Macau has seen an astronomical rise in wealth over the past 20 years. Only a few cultural enclaves remain untouched by aggressive development, the most charming of which is Coloane. Located on the farthest southern tip of Taipa Island, Coloane Village is just a 20-minute taxi ride from the Cotai area (Macau’s main casino drag) but a world away in terms of atmosphere. And its famous egg tarts, colonial buildings, and cobblestone streets, Coloane provides rarely found evidence of Macau’s Portuguese past. Come for a pleasant seaside stroll for a peek into low-key village life and a cultural antidote to the glitz and glam of Macau's developed tourist centers." - Kate Springer
