Visually stunning Hong Kong offers a 'shop till you drop' lifestyle combined with enclaves of fascinating Chinese tradition. Hong Kong's popularity amongst Asian tourists, its major stopover status and financial importance make it an all round contender as one of the most interesting cities in the world. Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, are an eclectic mix of modern skyscrapers, colonial buildings and traditional temples. For relaxation, Hong Kong's 260 outlying islands, provide a tranquil alternative to the frenetic city life.

Escape the city and explore the surrounding mountains, discover remote beaches or take in the fantastic cityscape from Victoria Peak.Whether it's spending the day betting and bantering at the horses, chasing the kids around Hong Kong's very own Disneyland, or getting back to nature at a stunning country park, there is something to suit all in this cosmopolitan city.
