Fast Facts and Must Buy

Hong Kong returned to Mainland China on 1 July 1997, and is now a special administrative region of China. It's a flourishing international center and consists of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, New Territories and over 260 outlying islands. Discover the unrivalled shopping paradise form world famous brands to markets. Savour delicious international cuisines and taste local delights, gaze upon inspiring city, harbour and green vistas.
Delight in the rich shopping opportunities of Hong Kong. Get the latest, luxurious, brand name styles in upscale shopping malls. Uncover hidden bargains in quaint street markets. Many leading international brands that have specialty shops in the city sell the very latest fashions and leather goods. The outlets featuring goods originally intended for export are great spots where you will find trendy samples or excess stock form big fashion names.
If you like Chinese tea, the tea leaves are graded according to natural color, aroma and lustre. Try the Ti-guan-yin or Pu-erh; a popular one form Taiwan is Don-Ding Oolong tea; you can find theme in supermarkets and teahouses. I love drink tea with some Chinese cakes such as egg rolls and almond cookies, perfect!!

Most Hong Kong residents come form Guangdong, where fresh ingredients and fast cooking at high temperatures to seal in flavours are the hallmarks of Cantonese cuisine. In Hong Kong, it's very easy to find "teahouse", never miss daan tart (tasty baked egg custard), char-siu-bau (steamed barbecued pork bun), dumplings, har gau (steamed shrimp dumpliing), cheung fan (steamed rice flour roll often flavoured with barbecued pork, beef or shrimp)...

Make your way throught busy streets, each corner brings a surprise, it's Hong Kong, always waiting for you to discover new experience. I think the best way to visit Hong Kong is on foot at yor own pace, cause Hong Kong has a well-developed transportation infrastructure. Ferry, tram, MTR...let you get around easily and catch wonderful glimpses of the city along the way.
