Hong Kong Tourist Guides — Introduction

When you enter the 'Gateway to China' the mosaic of multi cultural living is sure to catch your eye! In fact there are much more sides to turn into a treat for your eyes. With an opulent milieu Hong Kong is always running fast with the fastest cars and a leaping economy. The tracks are excellent as far as far as the driving (might feel like gliding) is concerned. It shows all the symptoms of a real mega city, smokes and the blare that can make you dizzy at times. Never mind you can still cool your heels at places like the Victoria Peak.

It has a market for one and sundry. There's no need to zip around the world; Hong Kong has it all, from silk to antics or latest electrical equipments, you have to fight hard for making a choice.

Spanning over 1098 sq. km of land Hong Kong is a magnet of all the cities all around the world. It is separated into three distinct regions: Hong Kong Island, the Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories.

It buzzes with a population of about 6.4 million. Almost 96 per cent of the population is Chinese. The spoken language is obviously Chinese and English. Putonghuais is another lingo, which is currently growing among the people out here. There are many dialects also in Chinese language and the Cantonese is the popular one spoken. Laying across the ocean the culinary art of the locale is illustrious. There is an array of appetizing seafood and dishes across the globe, which is garnished with flavors from both the East and the West. So, feast out whenever you have a single possibility.

The weather is tourists friendly that is to say, visiting here might not depend much on the time of the year. Of course one can make the best out of the seasons like spring and autumn. There are temples to mark the heritage, world's largest outdoor bronze Buddha, as well as modern architectural marvels to make your sightseeing real laudable. Hong Kong is a confluence of all that is .past. yet lingers on and the .current. that is budding. So, when you discover a business tycoon consulting a soothsayer about his Lady Luck, over a .cell phone., don.t be amazed. Know that this is only the Hong Kong style.

Wrapped in a new bottle, Hong Kong, deep down is unmistakably the 'old wine'. The food, the living and the beliefs all emit the fragrance of the Old China.
