We spent an unforgettable week exploring the vibrant cities of Hong Kong and Macao, two Special Administrative Regions of China. In Hong Kong, we experienced the city’s intense pace through its iconic breakfasts, stunning viewpoints, cultural landmarks, and busy streets. We took a classic harbour cruise, taking in the spectacular Victoria Harbour light show, but the highlight was the excitement of the historic horse racing track, giving us a real sense of local life.

In Macao, we discovered the unique mix of Chinese and Portuguese heritage that defines the city. Over three days, we explored the colorful Cotai district, the historic center, and enjoyed the absolutely delicious Macanese cuisine. From cultural sites to the lively casinos, the trip offered an incredible mix of history, food, and modern energy.
