For the third in his acclaimed Destination series, Paul French journeys to the former Portuguese enclave of Macao, for him as much a place of the imagination as of reality. Constantly portrayed as the louche, sinful sister of Hong Kong, it was also a key trade entrept and early melting pot on the South China Sea.From the Macao of artists George Chinnery and George Smirnoff, the writers Deolinda da Conceio and Maurice Dekobra, to the pulp fiction fantasies and cinematic fever dreams of Josef von Sternberg and Jean Delannoy; from those like Dr Pedro Lobo and Ian Fleming who came to Macao to chase gold as well as those who sought refuge from war and the combatants who sought secret passage through neutral Macao; from the earliest days of the China coast trade and its assorted cast of adventurers to the bizarre tales the changing times in the colony created. Did Japan really try to buy Macao in 1934? Who really sailed with Macaos pirate queen Lai Choi San? Who were the Portuguese rebels who sought to declare Macao a republic in the 1920s?Following the format of Destination Shanghai and Destination Peking, Destination Macao contains 18 true stories of fascinating people who lived in or visited Macao in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Honestly, I expected more from the Destination Macao guide. Some of the information seemed outdated, and a few places were closed when I visited. It was a bummer because I was looking forward to some specific attractions.

Very Informative Guide
I bought this guide, Destination Macao, for my parents who are traveling soon. They loved how informative it was and found the tips about local customs and etiquette really useful. A good buy for sure!

Good but Could Be Better
The Destination Macao guide is pretty good, but some things were hard to find without clearer directions. I had a bit of trouble navigating some parts of the city because of that. Will still use it, just need a backup plan!

Nice but Lacked Some Details
The Destination Macao guide was nice overall, but I felt it was missing more detailed maps for certain areas. I ended up getting lost a few times. Still, the recommendations for food were spot on!
