Macau, a peninsula in southern China, is a gambling mecca. A Portuguese colony for about 300 years, the city is a blend if old and new, traditional and glitzy. From Quanzhou on the mainland I took a train, subway, shuttle bus, ferry, then a taxi to reach my Macau hotel. Above is the entrance gate to board the high-speed train in Quanzhou.
The casinos in Macau seem a lot more sedate than Vegas casinos. The Chinese like to keep a clear head when gambling, so instead of alcohol, there is complimentary water, tea, and coffee.
