Hong Kong: City of Contrasts
Hong Kong is a brilliant blend of ancient and modern traditions. A small jade shop is dwarfed by a massive electronics megastore. Towering skyscrapers overlook breathtaking mountains and greenery. A relaxing Tai Chi lesson takes place just minutes away from the bustle of the city.
A Hong Kong Perspective
We’re riding Hong Kong’s “Stairway to Heaven” -- a covered escalator that extends a full half-mile up the steep side of this vertical city. With hundreds of gravity-defying skyscrapers built on a mountainous island, Hong Kong is a place you constantly look up to.
Hotel Finds
Hong Kong has had a long tradition of fine hotels with quality service. For years, the city’s business-friendly environment and position, as a gateway to Asia, have produced a wealth of outstanding hotels with a wide range of options and choices.
Food Quest
In Hong Kong, you’ll never go hungry. There are noodle shops on every street corner, barbecued meats hanging in restaurant windows, and fresh fruit and vegetables at outdoor markets. When I’m asked what my favorite thing about Hong Kong is, my quick and unwavering response is: the food.
Souvenir Sleuth
Hong Kong arguably has the best shopping in the world. Although possibly best known for its sprawling shopping malls with high-end brand names including Yves Saint Laurent, Versace, and Louis Vuitton, Hong Kong hosts a myriad of shopping experiences, from luxury labels to street markets.
