ABOUT HONGKONG & MACAU

Hong Kong, described as a 'barren rock' over 150 years ago, has become an excellent financial, trading and business centre and, indeed, a great world city. Hong Kong has no natural resources, except one of the finest deep-water ports in the world. A hardworking, adaptable and well-educated workforce of about 3.58 million, coupled with entrepreneurial flair, is the bedrock of Hong Kong's productivity and creativity.Hong Kong became a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of the People's Republic of China on July 1,1997, after a century and a half of British administration. Under HongKong's constitutional document, the Basic Law, the existing economic, legal and social systems will be maintained for 50 years. The SAR enjoys a high degree of autonomy except in defence and foreign affairs. With its unique mixture of Portuguese and Chinese cultures, Macau makes an interesting day trip or overnight stay if you want to get away from the bustle of Hong Kong after a business trip or strenuous traveling itinerary. Although Macau's rising reputation as a gambling Mecca - spurred by the grand openings of ever larger and grander casinos - is a major attraction for many, there are also beaches, fortresses, churches, temples, gardens, and excellent museums to explore. What's more, although prices have risen the past few years, Macau's hotels are still cheaper than their counterparts in Hong Kong (you can bask in luxury in Macau for a fraction of what you'd pay in the former British colony); and as a duty-free port, Macau has also become something of a shopping Mecca. Finally, Macanese cuisine, unique to Macau and combining ingredients from former Portuguese trading ports from around the world, is both inexpensive and delicious, especially when accompanied with Portuguese wine.
