Hong Kong

An aerial shot of Hong Kong at night conjures up images of stalagmites, such is the proximity of skyscrapers in the city’s CBD. Underneath Hong Kong’s urbane façade, however, lies a city rich in cultural diversity with a mighty fine gastronomy record. Year after year, people from around the world visit Hong Kong to capitalise on its local shopping. Things to see and do Take an exhilarating journey to Hong Kong’s highest peak via the 125 year old Peak Tram. Overshadowing Hong Kong’s skyscrapers, Victoria Peak offers stunning panoramas of the city and woodlands below. Meander down the Avenue of Stars, which pays homage to the stars of the local film industry. A statue of Bruce Lee, the iconic martial arts film star who made a name for himself in Hollywood, graces the Avenue of Stars along with other film memorabilia. If you’re seeking a fun-filled day for the whole family, then head out to Hong Kong Disney Land. Take a fantastical journey into the wonderful world of Disney with a Chinese twist.
