Hong Kong is Asia’s hyperactive business center, offering a mixture of British colonial history and the rich Chinese tradition. The dynamism behind its futuristic skyline leaves its place to serenity with the mountainous nature reserves and over 200 islands spreading out towards the southeast, making up 70 percent of Hong Kong’s total area. In order to gaze the city from top, go to Victoria's Peak on a fogless day. Shopping is a charm all by itself. Electronics stores and street markets are always busy. You may even have to queue early in the morning to enter luxury stores.
