Tourism  
Although its population is primarily ethnic Chinese, Macau, because it was a Portuguese territory for so long, has a distinctly Mediterranean flavor. A languorous pace, balconied pastel buildings and open squares.

The most famous landmark is the Church of Sao Paulo. All that remains is the facade,the rest of the church was destroyed by fire in 1835, but it's worth climbing an imposing set of stairs to view the ruins up close, especially at night when you can see the lights of the city below.
