I live about half an hour from Hong Kong so right now that's my get-away destination of choice. It's different enough from Mainland China to make it seem like a complete change of scenery. And there's so much to do there that any mood that strikes me can be satisfied. Good Western food? Yes. Beaches to camp out on? Got that. Mountains to climb? Check. Ballin' clubs? O U KNO IT. The only drawback is that HK is astronomically expensive.
