Overview

Hong Kong

Hong Kong may be a tiny territory, but it's also an unmissable economic giant! Again a subsidiary of China since July 1st, 1997, this urban hive, which is in constant vertical and horizontal growth,has a magnetism all its own. Moulded by many skyscapers, Asia's New Yorkis swarming with visitors. With a high density of business affairs, shops, lights, tourists, and traffic, Hong Kong is an international crossroads for shopping and business which exerts its influence far beyond its own boundaries.

pros

  •  Hong Kong is an international shopping paradise.
  •  The easy access to China, which is very close, especially Guangzhou (Canton) Guangdong Province.

cons

  •  The incessant high rate of humidity.
  •  Constant traffic jams.

Country Guide

Our Editorial team's advice

To really get a sense of the Chinese identity in Hong Kong, get lost in the crowded and very colourful streets of the Kowloon Peninsula, between Mongkok and Jordan metro stations.
For a bit of a thrill, go and spend an evening (and bet!) at the races at Happy Valley hippodrome: guaranteed entertainment!
Two very nice neighbourhoods located on Hong Kong Island, Wanchai and Lan Kwai Fong, are great for going out in the evenings.
For a beautiful view of Hong Kong, one place outdoes all the others: Victoria Peak.
