Fast-paced and fabulous, Hong Kong is a heady blend of skyscrapers and shopping, culture and cuisine. With British influence still prevalent in many ways, Hong Kong is a unique enclave in the People’s Republic of China, where it is possible to turn off a street crowded with gleaming skyscrapers and discover a tiny market dedicated to traditional Chinese herbs and medicines.

For tourists, Hong Kong can be divided into two main categories: Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. Hong Kong Island is really the heart of the city, with main areas such as Lan Kwai Fong, Admiralty and Causeway Bay located here. Kowloon is easily reached by an enjoyable ferry ride and it is from here that the stunning views of the Hong Kong Island skyline can truly be enjoyed. Whilst Hong Kong Island is the main financial district, Kowloon has a lot to offer for leisure travellers.
