Want to get a taste of China without visiting the country itself? Then check out Macau! Originally a Portuguese colony, Macau has retained its unique system after reincorporation into China. However, while Portuguese is an official language, most of the city-state cannot speak it, instead speaking Cantonese. Macau stands in contrast to China’s heavily controlled market, with a strong free market that has allowed it to blossom into a rich, highly developed city. Macau is known as the gambling capital of the world, towering over Las Vegas. Macau’s casinos draw in big bucks from Chinese tourists, since gambling is illegal in China.
