Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China. The region comprises Hong Kong island, Kowloon peninsula, the New Territories, and numerous offshore islands. Hong Kong was leased to Great Britain for 99 years, and in 1997 was handed back to China. Hong Kong is East Asia's most extraordinary city, the view of the sky-scrapered bustling modern city mixes with traces of the old colony, and beautiful Victoria Harbour.

Hong Kong remains an exciting city with plenty to offer. To see one of the many spectacular views of this region visitors can take the Star Ferry across Victoria Harbour. The Star Ferry Terminal is the busiest and most chaotic city port in the world and this only adds to the experience of viewing the city from the water. With the harbour packed with sail boats, warships, cruise liners and cargo ships, it is well worth the trouble. Many visitors choose to go to the southern side of Hong Kong Island to Aberdeen Harbour, which is bustling with boats of all shapes and sizes. Aberdeen Harbour is an amazing 'floating city' which can be toured by sampan and makes for a truly fascinating experience. Visitors often stop on these trips to dine at one of the huge palatial floating restaurants.

The visitors to Hong Kong who require shopping therapy should check out Stanley Market on the south side of Hong Kong Island. A busy marketplace trading in discounted clothes, silks, books, and antiques, any bargain hunter cannot afford to miss. The city itself is incredibly lively with an amazing nightlife of nightclubs, bars, restaurants, and evening markets. When the sun goes down, the streets fill with party-goers lit by the bright neon lights.
