Rough Guides Directions Hong Kong & Macau

Rough Guides, 2007. -208 p.Facing each other across the Pearl River estuary, Hong Kong and Macau offer the visitor an exciting
yet easy entry into the Chinese world. Colonies of Britain and Portugal respectively until they were returned to mainland China in the 1990s as Special Administrative Regions (SARs), today they seek to establish fresh identities for themselves. While evidence of their colonial past lingers in buildings, languages, food and hi-tech infrastructure, the essentially Chinese heritage underpinning it all is
becoming increasingly apparent.
