The words Hong Kong mean fragrant harbour. Viewed from Victoria Peak, Hong Kong boasts one of the greatest skylines in the world. Todays Hong Kong is a blend of the exotic and the familiar, east meets west in high style, and the result is astonish and delight.
It was a British colony from 1842, when Britain acquired Hong Kong Island as spoil of the first Opium War, until its handover to the Chinese in 1997. The Chinese government has given Hong Kong special status, guaranteeing its capitalist lifestyle and social system for 50 years. Through the years, Hong Kongers have done themselves proud by practising better mannerism, focusing on customer service and educating its folks to speak the international language: English. It is definitely a friendly and pleasant Asian destination today. Highlights: • Victoria Peak - Hong Kong's #1 attraction offers spectacular views of Hong Kong. • Star Ferry - Crossing Victoria Harbour on the Star Ferry is one of the world's greatest bargains. The Star Ferries have weaved between tugs, wooden fishing vessels and ocean-going ships since 1888. • Temple Street Night Market-Kowloon's night market. It's a one-of-a-kind bazaar where you can bargain fiercely in an unbeatable atmosphere. • Avenue of the Stars - Down on Tsim Sha Tsuis promenade, experience the magic of Hong Kong movies and watch the 8 p.m. multimedia laser show that accents the Hong Kong Skyline every night. Also recommend all ages visit Oceana Park, Great! This description has been edited by 12 people. Travel and Tourism Guides for Popular Cities in Hong Kong |

My arrival was great, landing couldn't have been better, the service was phenominal ... but since they delayed us by 4 hrs, I only landed at the Airport at 3:15am ... though I left on Dec. 25th, I landed it was Dec. 27th, I lost a day in space ... I travelled forward in time LOL
