The wonders of Angkor Wat, the sublime scenery of Guilin or the thrill of the roulette table in Macau ... whatever you yearn for, you can find it just a short flight (or ferry ride) away from Hong Kong. On the following pages are six cities to get you inspired.

A few minutes walk from the Venetian, Don Quixote (tel: 853 2882 5028) is one of the only Spanish-style restaurants in town and serves a wide range of tapas and Spanish wine. If you don't fancy Spanish, head over to Wing Lei at Wynn Macau (tel: 853 986 3663; as before). It only opened last year, but has quickly established a reputation as one of the best Cantonese restaurants in Macau.
