Welcome to Hong Kong
Culture and heritage is what sets Hong Kong apart from the rest of Asia & indeed the world. Hong Kong is a unique fusion of Eastern and Western cultures where the old and the new live side by side. Its incense-filled temples, glass-and-steel skyscrapers and noisy festivals have made Hong Kong the premier tourist destination in Asia.
Vibrant, exciting, bustling, Hong Kong is a behemoth of commerce, culture and fun that certainly does not disappoint. Unsurprisingly, the city offers superb shopping, excellent hotels and non-stop entertainment, but there are also unexpected delights to be found in this vast metropolis. Lying in juxtaposition to the huge urban area are the rice paddies and simple fishing villages in the New Territories, which feel completely out of place within this futuristic city.
Hong Kong’s malls, department stores and designer boutiques offer an amazing contrast to the bustling open-air markets nestled among the towering skyscrapers. Avid shoppers can spend days trawling through the colourful stalls and shops in search of bargains.
Hong Kong’s cuisine is renowned for its exotic fusion of Eastern and Western flavours along with a wide variety of culinary delights. Food is usually reasonably priced, particularly in the Michelin starred Tim Ho Wan restaurant, which offer dishes for about €1.
Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, are an eclectic mix of modern skyscrapers, magnificent colonial buildings and traditional temples. For a tranquil escape from the neon lights of downtown, Hong Kong's 260 outlying islands provide a relaxing getaway from the frenetic city life.
The days truly are what you make them in Hong Kong. Whether you choose to join the masses betting at the horses, enjoying the magic of Hong Kong's very own Disneyland, or taking a relaxing stroll through a beautiful natural setting at one of the stunning country parks, there is something to suit everybody in this surprising city.
