Macau in $790s RT

It might be best known as the gambling capital of Asia, but Macau has a few wildcards up its sleeve.

For starters, it spent about 400 years as a Portuguese colony, so you get an interesting cultural mix here. You're just as likely to find a pastel de nata as you are pork buns, and from certain angles, you might think you accidentally teleported to Europe.

But the real ace in the hole for this little island? It's just a ferry away from Hong Kong, so it's automatically a 2-for-1 deal. 

Even better – these dates cover Lunar New Year, so you can catch lion dances and firework shows on either island. Jackpot.
