METROPOLIS: HONGKONG

Hong Kong is really made up of three main areas: the island of Hong Kong, the Kowloon peninsula and the Stonecutters Island as well as the New Territories which mainly consist of a piece of mainland as well as the Island of Lantau. Hong Kong is in the Pearl River delta. Hong Kong has about 7 million inhabitants. Hong Kong has changed in history from a small settlement of fishermen and opium smugglers in the 17th century to an economic metropolis. If you want to experience Hong Kong you have an extensive schedule ahead: for example the tour with the sampan through Aberdeen and along the many boating villages or the trip to Lantau with the largest bronze Buddha in the world or a forbidden Karate-Kumite in the forbidden city and and and!

Tip: A trip to the Peak on Hong Kong Island is even more impressive if you walk around the Peak at the level of the platform along the Peak trail. You should plan to do it just before darkness falls to enjoy, on the last few kilometers, the wonderful panorama view of the shining world of the Hong Kong banking district as well as the harbor.
