HONG KONG

Under the policy of “one country, two systems”, Hong Kong (that in Chinese means Fragrant Harbour) is one of the most important tourist attractions and business and financial centres for Asia and Europe, with a population of 7 million people.
It expands across a very large area and is divided into the peninsula of Kowloon , the main island, numerous secondary islands and what are called the new territories.

Hong Kong has never denied its strong Chinese origins, even if it was returned to China only in 1997, and this can be seen at every street corner and in every building.

The island of Hong Kong spreads over 75 square meters and you can get an amazing view of the city from Victoria’s Peak, the hill (about 552 mt) that overlooks the city; you should also visit the typical Aberdeen Port that is very characteristic due to its hundreds of colourful huts where the fisherman and fishmongers live and work; the beautiful zoological garden with both local and rare animals; the large colourful Central Market where you can find just about anything you want; the Clock Tower built in 1815, clearly built in London style; the many museums, for example the Science Museum and the Space Museum that are visited by enthusiasts from all over the world; and the Temple of the 100 Buddhas.

If you want to enjoy the night life, you have to visit WAN CHAI, the Mecca of night clubs; on the other hand those that want to relax in the sun, can spend some time laying on the famous Repulse Bay beach

Tsim Shua Tsui, a neighbourhood of Kowloon is one of the favourite destinations for the Chinese and European tourists as it is full of shops with very reasonable prices, typical restaurants and has a great night life.

The 244 islands of the archipelago are easy to reach due to the excellent connection with the peninsula by ferry boat, steamboat and even by an underwater tunnel, that is a great tourist attraction.
