Macau
Macau has been famous for its casinos since it legalized gambling in the 1850s.
The church of Sao Paulo is Macau's most famous landmark, and its ornately-carved facade, rich with Catholic statuary, is an imposing sight.

Guangzhou,a city you can learn to enjoy. Compared with Beijing's bureaucratic aloofness or the image-conscious populace of Shanghai,
the city's inhabitants seem immediately upfront, and pleasantly indifferent to foreign faces after two thousand years of direct contact with the Western world.

Shenzhen
Splendid China and Window on the World are a collection of scale models of famous monuments such as the Great Wall and Eiffel Tower,
while the Folk Culture Village is an enjoyably touristy introduction to the nation's ethnic groups.
