Hong Kong
Hong Kong is a spectacular destination that offers a fascinating combination of the urban, rural and the maritime. It is a territory of contrasts with one of the most exciting city centers on earth. The city is packed with cutting edge architecture and a visit to The Peak to overlook the sprawling metropolis reveals a spectacular landscape home to numerous outlying islands. It is a destination where the East meets the West – a unique place where China and Britain have left their mark, strewn with temples, trams and ancient traditions and financial prowess. Home to over eight million people in an area of 1,100 sq-km, this fast-paced metropolis is like a well-oiled machine with advanced infrastructure including one of only three airports in the world with a 5-Star Skytrax rating; a highly efficient underground rail network; broadband and 3G networks that cover almost 100 per cent of the territory; and a modern road network.
