Hong Kong is sophisticated and world-class and simply irresistible! It is east meeting west in a mosaic of 3000 year old Chinese customs, British colonial influences, ultra modern skyscrapers and a bustling lifestyle. Junks and sampans can still be seen in Victoria Harbor. The principles of Feng Shui still determine the placement and design of the most modern of skyscrapers. Festivals celebrating ancient Chinese traditions, old-walled cites, temples and shrines blend with a modern and stunning skyline, some of the most enviable shopping opportunities, never-ending culinary delights, a pulsating nightlife and fascinating attractions that give Hong Kong an enchanting fusion of cultures and make it a unique travel experience.
Hong Kong is divided into 4 area - Hong Kong island, Kowloon, the New Territories and over 200 outlying islands. Even though it is one of the world`s most densely populated areas, much of it is compact and easy to explore on foot, by Mass Transit Railway, by rail and by ferry. Surprisingly a large majority of total land mass remains rural and is comprised of nature reserves and parks, beaches, and small villages which offer an insight into a slower pace of living and a glimpse of the past
While Hong Kong is a natural gateway to most of Asia, you owe it to yourself to spend 4 or 5 days exploring the diversity of the cultures, landscape and lifestyles Hong Kong has to offer. There is no shortage of cultural experiences to enjoy whatever the time of year. .
