Macau

Editorial illustration · not a site photograph

Macau is the smallest surprise in East Asia: a former Portuguese trading post where baroque church facades stand at the end of lanes of Chinese herbal shops, and where egg tarts, pork chop buns and Portuguese wine share menus with some of the biggest resort complexes on earth. The gaming industry is famous, but you can spend two entire days inside the UNESCO-listed historic centre and the old island villages without ever seeing a gaming floor — and many visitors do exactly that.
