A long-time British colony until 1997, when it was reunified with China as Special Administrative Region, Hong Kong has always been unique. Admire the view from Victoria Peak, gorge out on dim sum, and sleep well in a HotelTravel.com-booked room.

Visiting Hong Kong can feel like wandering onto a movie set. Standing on deck of the Star Ferry as it glides across the harbour, riding the ultramodern railway across the island, or taking in the stunning views from atop Victoria Peak; one might feel they have somehow landed in the middle of an epic drama where the past has melted into the present.
Hong Kong Disneyland
As of 2005, Hong Kong now has its very own Disneyland, complete with all the traditional Disney rides and attractions (sans the Haunted Mansion). The use of Feng Shui throughout the design of the park makes Hong Kong Disneyland unique to all others. The 126-hectare park is located on Lantau Island, overlooking Penny’s Bay. Arrive at the Disneyland Public Transport Interchange (PTI) which serves as the arrival point for guests travelling by Mass Transit Railway (MTR), car, taxi, bus, or coach. Waiting areas for wheelchair passengers, tactile maps and tactile guide paths are available. Taxi pick-up and drop-off areas are provided for the convenience of people with special needs. MTR Sunny Bay Station.
Chinese Lunar New Year is the most important of all the Chinese festivals and is the most frenetic happening in the country. It occurs on the 1st day of the 1st moon (January/February) with celebrations lasting three days. Firework displays, lion (or dragon) dances, parades and much more fill the streets with their gaiety and colour. This is also the time to shop for bargains as many shops hold sales with items being cut by 50% or more at times. One of the main horse racing events falls over Chinese New Year as well and this sport is certainly popular with locals and tourists alike. Many shops close for three days over the Chinese New Year.

Aberdeen
Some 200 years ago, Hong Kong's Aberdeen district was a haven for pirates. Located on the southern shore of Hong Kong Island, it was also home to the Tanka boat people and a popular destination for floating restaurants. Today, there is lively marina crammed with junks, sampans, water taxis (kai do), cruisers and yachts and the fishing harbour is a wonderful way to experience the activity of life on water. Boat tours can be enjoyed onboard one of the many sampans offering half-hour trips around the harbour and Hong Kong cuisine can be experienced within the unique environment of the famous Jumbo Floating Restaurant.
Location: 73 from Stanley (first passing the scenic stretches of Repulse Bay and Deep Water Bay).
Hong Kong is the main gateway to China and much of East Asia. Therefore, the international air service is excellent and competition keeps the fares relatively low compared to neighbouring countries.
Name cards are distributed like confetti, so you should carry them with you at all times. Receiving a card without offering one in return is a signal that you do not want to make the other person's acquaintance or that you lack status yourself. The card is presented immediately on the first meeting with both hands and a slight bow from the waist. The other person's card is received in the same manner.
