Macau is a former Portugese colony that became the world’s leading casino metropol, even ahead of Las Vegas. The daytrip to Macau was a part of a trip to Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Guangzhou. This thread is about the daytrip to Macau, that we reached by ferry, a kind of hoovercraft that takes about 1.5 hours from Hong Kong.

Thanks!

It was hot and humid, about 30 degrees all the time in February.
No jacket needed, only T-shirt.
