Macau, 1990:

People who get bored in Hongkong simply board a hydrofoil at the HK pier and go to this, once, Portuguese (again!) colony until they were handed over to China at the start of year 2000. Macau is a place that's more unique and probably, deeper in heritage than HK - maybe because of the Portuguese (hence, it may probably have a tinge of Brazil's samba/fun/carefree and laid-back style since it was also a former very important colony of Portugal) influence.

Casinos and other popular forms of games of chances like horse racing, dog racing jai-alai, etc, are legal and the world-famous, Macau Grand Prix is held here occasionally. Although, just slightly smaller than HK, most Hongkongites go here more often than any other fun spots in their own turf - given the love of the games of chance by the Chinese!

Zhuhai and Guangzhou (Guangdong), China, 1990:

These places are just very close to the border with Macau (which is now also part of China). In Guangzhou (Guangdong), you will find the residence of the late, Dr. Sun Yat-Sen (founding father of the Republic of China... pics# 2, 3 & 5).

We also visited a typical Chinese commune (with plenty of Peking ducks!) where most people seem to live in quiet, simple ways. Bicycles (pic# 4) were everywhere -which I really liked- adding to the rustic feeling of the place!
