Living on the edge of a cultural divide

Rejecting the adrenalin junkie option of hurling herself from the top of one of the world’s tallest buildings, Isabel Conway takes a multicultural tour of Macau’s many attractions.

THEY ask, “Why live on the edge when you can jump off?” at the top of the 338-metre-high Macau Tower, one of the world’s highest buildings, where a Michelin Guide menu for adrenaline junkies, devised by New Zealander AJ Hackett, inventor of modern bungy jumping, is on offer.

Invited to hurl yourself over the summit on one of the highest bungy jumps anywhere, break the Guinness Book of Records sky jump, attempt a ‘Flying Fox’ (whatever that is) or scale the mast of the tower on a two-hour- long climb up vertical ladders, one is spoilt for choice.
