Hong Kong is the world's most vertical city. A unique blend of East and West, it has left its colonial past behind, and despite the overwhelming Western influence it is truly Chinese at heart. One of the world's leading international financial centres, it can rival the best of European countries with its efficient public transport system. When in Hong Kong, you can't miss Bruce Lee, Feng Shui, Wong Kar-Wai, Jackie Chan, martial arts, Michelle Yeoh and Chow Yun-fat. To get under Hong Kong's skin, read, 'Fragrant Harbour' by John Lanchester, listen to Cantonese pop music dished out by Sally Yip and Andy Lau and watch the Jackie Chan movie 'Crime Story'.
You'd be forgiven for thinking of Goa when you're in Macau. The cobble-stone streets, Art Deco buildings that house designer shops, baroque churches, fortresses, gardens and museums add to the charm of this former Portuguese colony. Heavily dependent on gambling and tourism for its economy, this sleepy, Mediterranean-style city has a character very different from its mother-country, China. To get under Macanese skin, read 'City of Broken Promises' by Austin Coates, watch 'The Bewitching Braid' by Cai Yuan Yuan and the opera and musicals offered up at the Macau International Music Festival in October.
