Hong Kong Holidays - Travel Guide

Holidays in Hong Kong present an area of enormous economic prosperity where the great success of capitalism under British colonial rule has been maintained by the Chinese since the islands were returned to China's governmental control in 1997.

Kowloon is situated at the southern tip of the peninsula and is a very popular destination for Hong Kong holidays, being a haven of shops, bars, restaurants and hotels. Beyond the neon glitz of Kowloon there are some interesting little temples and museums to explore, but the main appeal of Hong Kong holidays is almost certainly its standing as a paradise for the shopaholic.

The main attractions of Hong Kong Island are similar to that of Kowloon but beyond the hustle and bustle of the towering buildings there is the unforgettable experience of Aberdeen bay, another big attraction of Hong Kong holidays. Aberdeen Bay is what might be described as a floating city where thousands of tiny boats house the inhabitants of the area.

No Hong Kong holiday is complete without experiencing the city from the top of Victoria peak, with its astonishing views of the harbour and the business district. Of course Hong Kong holidays are still best known for the high-rise buildings that form the hub of the city and buzz with a fantastic atmosphere.

Hong Kong holidays are great for anyone that enjoys the hustle and bustle of modern cities. The economic prosperity that Hong Kong has enjoyed over recent decades is blended superbly well with the cultural diversity that exists within the area to create an exciting and fascinating atmosphere.

For a bit of peace and quiet on Hong Kong holidays, the Sai Kung peninsula in the New Territories is a great place for walkers and hiking enthusiasts to get back to nature.

Colourful festivals commemorating and celebrating all manner of things occur throughout the year and there always seems to be something exciting going on, so it's worth checking before your visit to find out where the action is.
