-Pheww!!A weekend in Hong Kong from London? Possible? Yes, I made it! 3DAY & 2 NIGHTS and thanks to Oasis Hong Kong Airline. Wow...its my third time to Hong Kong and yet so much to explore. This time I have a packed itinerary up to Buddha Statue at Lantau Island with a fantastic view from Ngong Ping cable car, A half day adventure in renewed Ocean Park, and a great evening at Kowloon Promenade to view the most fantastic light show on earth. Love every second. Exhilarating and Great fun and thumbs up to Oasis Hongkong, pioneer long haul budget airline!
Lots of video clips of Hong Kong Night Skyline and the rest!!! Do enjoy it.

Hong Kong's dynamism is unforgettable. From the vantage point of Victoria Peak, overlooking the world's busiest deepwater port, you can see a city geared not only to making money but feeling good about it. At night, it's like looking down into a volcano. Despite its British colonial past, Hong Kong has always stuck to its roots and the culture beneath the glitz is pure Chinese. That didn't stop locals from feeling apprehensive about being re-united with the motherland when the British handed the colony back to China in 1997, but their unease has largely evaporated. Visitors often find it takes a few days in Hong Kong to get accustomed to the whirlwind pace.
Area:1098 sq km (424 sq mi)
Population: 6.975 million
People: 95% Chinese, 1.5% European
Province: Hong Kong Special Administrative Region

Come to Hongkong at least make a point to try the local delicacies or savories. Dim Sum a.k.a 'Touch your heart' is a typical breakfast normally eaten most on Sunday with family as part as family gathering as local often say as 'Yam Cha' mean drink tea also to be used as the terms to have breakfast in the morning.
In Hongkong, Sunday morning is particular a critical moment as most of all restaurant has a long queue for Dim Sum table. So be sure, if you really wanna wait till late for a table for breakfast on Sunday.
Dim Sum also consist of many kind of dumplings most made of prawns and pork and also famous must have is the BBQ pork bun often is Hongkong restaurant waiter will scream for 'Char Siu Pau' while pushing the Dim Sum trolley. Most all Dim Sum served in steam bamboo basket. Dim Sum can be eaten together with Fried noodles or porridge.
- Pros:Amazing HongKong skyline, Delicious Dim Sum
- Cons:Very Expensive, Congested and Materialism
- In a nutshell:Move Fast, but selfish like the 'Rabbit'

A very interesting journey, Denis! I also visited this place some years ago and I stil like to remember it.
Fantastic page Denis! Looks like things have changed a LOT since I lived there! :))
Happy birthday.. :-) hope you will have a wonderful day..
Hi Denis - Tsui Wah restaurant is on the edge of Lan Kwai Fong, just off D'Aguilar Street. According to my map (which is 10 years old), the nearest MTR is "Central".
Touch and buy...not a good idea to go there with niki i will be poor in an afternoon
Hong Kong certainly transforms itself at night.
Nice pictures and very good information!!!
Wonderful Page...
