Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau
2023
Summary
These 3 nations makeup not-China, each has had a controversial recent history and could be the flashpoint for future conflict but today they stand still with a unique Chinese twist worth experiencing.
Taiwan is a wonderful place worth taking it slow and simply enjoying, from hiking to biking, from drinking to festivals - It has plenty to do and see.
Hong Kong is sadly losing its identity but still has much to offer, the night life is incredible and its recent history easy to get lost in.
