One of the most popular forms of entertainment in Hong Kong and Macau is gambling, either at one of Macau’s casinos, or at horse races in Hong Kong. For more in the way of local culture, there’s also a limited amount of traditional Cantonese opera and a huge domestic fi lm industry, while those after a bit of exertion can head to Hong Kong’s wilds for rockclimbing or hiking.
