Macau is an administrative region of China, situated in the south easy portion of the country. With its happening nightlife and glamorous casinos, a holiday in Macau and Hong Kong is a must for each and every one of you. Partying and gambling in Macau are the most important aspects of tourism in Macau. However, the city has an old and interesting history and a poignant Portuguese influence from its former rulers, which makes it an enchanting blend of different cultures. Come May 24th, the city will become even more enjoyable and appealing with the Macau Arts Festival.  Along with gambling and nightlife, here’s another fun thing to enjoy in Macau.
