Hong Kong Travel
The major tourist destination of Hong Kong has many faces, one of the results of a long term British influence over a state formerly run by China. Much more than a concrete jungle, this harbour city features a picturesque backdrop of misty mountains and craggy islands. Much of the surrounding countryside is protected as a country park, and despite the 7 million who live here, it is always possible to find peace and quiet.
Hong Kong’s skyline is unarguably one of the best in the world, and the wok-shaped tower of Victoria Peak offers panoramic views over the city, while the popular tourist area of Kowloon features shopping streets, temples and tranquil gardens. Disneyland Hong Kong has proven to be a much loved tourist destination which is home to three parks full of exciting rides, numerous restaurants and eateries and a hotel.
Tours of the city can easily be arranged and offer a great way to see all that Hong Kong has to offer. A map will help you to find your way around as the bustle of the city can easily confuse.
With the city boasting many celebrity chefs, eating out in Hong Kong is always a joy. From perfectly cooked noodles to succulent seafood, you can find almost anything you crave here, from local delicacies to international cuisine. Hong Kong restaurants are scattered throughout the city but usually tend to be good.
Hong Kong International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world and is home to several airlines. The airport boasts hundreds of shops, restaurants and bars, as well as comfortable lounges and a clean environment. Hong Kong flights are available from many cities worldwide.
In Hong Kong you can find all types of accommodation, from budget to luxury. Many Hong Kong hotels can be found on Hong Kong Island, with most of them catering to wealthy businessmen, but several budget hotels are also located here. The New Territories and Kowloon are home to some cheaper options including hostels and cheap hotels.
