About Hong Kong

Hong Kong is an autonomous territory on China’s southern coast, known for being one of the most densely populated cities in the world. It’s also famous for its modern cityscape, excellent shopping spots and large natural harbour, as well as its diverse natural landscape comprising vast mountainous areas and many country parks, allowing you to find some tranquillity away from the energetic metropolis. Diversity can be found in the cuisine, too, as you can indulge in superb Cantonese, Shanghainese, Vietnamese, Japanese and European dishes from either upmarket restaurants or authentic street vendors, which is why it’s regarded as the culinary capital of Asia. Hong Kong boasts an extremely well-developed ferry infrastructure, with multiple ferry companies offering high-speed crossings with modern, luxurious vessels. From numerous ports in Hong Kong, you can sail to a number of locations in China and Macau.

About Macau

The tiny Special Administrative Region of Macau lies 65 kilometres west of Hong Kong. Defined by Portuguese colonial architecture and contemporary casinos, Macau is a fascinating mix of cultures. One moment you’ll be admiring 17th Century church ruins, then you could be sampling authentic Chinese food whilst relaxing in a modern sky lounge. As one of the earliest European colonies in Asia and the last to be relinquished, Macau has spectacular historical landmarks around every corner. The most popular include the Ruins of St Paul's Church and the small village of Coloane which was a haven for pirates and privateers until 1910. Travelling by ferry is a popular mode of transport in Macau and it boasts excellent services from its two ports. There is a large number of high-speed crossings to many destinations in China, all operated by some of the region’s leading ferry companies.
