Hong Kong

An overwhelming mile-a-minute metropolis, Hong Kong may be more Chinese than ever but high-end shopping and fine-dining are still everyday pastimes. At the heart of the iconic, high-rise cityscape laid out around Victoria Harbour are impressive Statue Square, Man Mo Temple and beautiful Hong Kong Park. The most spectacular vistas (especially at night!) are from Victoria Peak – easily reached by funicular railway and with dancing fountains, shopping gallery and waxworks at the top.<br /> <br /> Alternatively, for a ringside view of the skyline, take the Star Ferry to Kowloon and Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade, with the Cultural Centre, Space Museum and Museum of Art all nearby.<br /> <br /> That’s just a fraction of what HK has to offer – add dazzling nightlife and fantastic food, and this really is a city like no other!
