Macao, China

MACAO (China)

Since 1999 Macau has been a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, but it began its development as a Portuguese trading post in 1557; thus its unique blend of Portuguese and Chinese architecture. The "Las Vegas of the East" now has a gambling industry 7x larger than Las Vegas, and one of the highest per capita incomes in the world.
