Hong Kong Travel Guide

Hong Kong is a non-stop, fast-moving metropolis with one of the world's most recognizable skylines. It has a scintillating atmosphere that's almost impossible to describe - you have to see it, smell it, feel it. With fabulous shopping and dining, and an ever-changing landscape, it's a beacon of modernity. But there's plenty of tradition and history to discover too, in its festivals, museums and temples.

Hong Kong, 'The City of Life', remains the sophisticated heart of Asia. Riveting, exciting, mysterious and glamorous, Hong Kong is a living fusion of East and West combining Chinese tradition with 150 years of colonial influence. With great shopping, fantastic hotels, top-class cuisine and a rich culture, no other Asian city captures the old and new quite so adeptly.

Hong Kong is a city of contrasts and surprises, and little has changed since it was handed back to the Chinese in 1997. Take the steep, funicular Peak Tram to Victoria Peak. The view down into central Hong Kong and across the water to Kowloon is fantastic both day and night. There are many great ways to see the city including taking a ride on the upper deck of the number 6 bus from Central to Stanley. Another is the Star Ferry, a familiar sight around Hong Kong and a symbol of the city. Far more important, however, is that from the deck you get some of the best views available of the waterfronts of Hong Kong Islandand Kowloon. Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade similarly offers great views of the spectacular Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island waterfront.

Hong Kong is a food lover's paradise, and apart from Chinese food, which is superb, there are also many Indian, Vietnamese, Filipino, Singapore/Malaysian and Thai restaurants. The main dining districts include Causeway Bay, Lan Kwai Fong, Repulse Bay, SoHo and Tsim Sha Tsui. For a true Hong Kong experience try the many varieties of Dim Sum. For a unique night-time dining experience, enjoy the Jumbo Floating Restaurant moored in the middle of Aberdeen Harbour. Hong Kong is a small place that most definitely lives large and it remains a perfect city break or multi-centre destination.
