A Flight - Hong Kong
Chinese capitalism? Welcome to Hong Kong, where cultures merge in a whirlwind
dance of advanced technology and traditional life. For a spectacular view
of both sides of the Hong Kong hybrid, take the tram to Victoria peak and
look down on the world’s busiest port - then enjoy dim sum in a Cantonese
restaurant. What you choose off the menu is up to you. Colonial old favourites
like pork and prawn dumplings or adventurous Chinese: braised chicken feet?
Lonely
Planet - Hong Kong
Hong Kong has the big city specials like smog, odour, 14 million elbows
and an insane love of clatter. But it's also efficient, hushed and peaceful:
the transport network is excellent, the shopping centres are sublime, and
the temples and quiet corners of parks are contemplative oases.

Packing - Hong Kong
An autonomous region of China, with its own distinct culture, and currency,
Hong Kong is renowned as one of the most cosmopolitan and vibrant places
to visit in the Far East. A population of nearly seven million people fill
just over a thousand square KM that is Hong Kong, making it one of the most
densely populated places in the world. Most visitors to Hong Kong stay in
the main area of either Kowloon on the Mainland, or the city of Victoria
on Hong Kong Island, but with over 200 other outlying islands and the expanse
of the New Territories to explore, it is possible to get away from the hubbub
of the city, and find places which while not exactly off the beaten track,
are quiet and pleasant.
