Swallowed By Hong Kong City - Asia

Hong Kong, Incredible City On Earth!

I could not imagine that this vibrant, dynamic city once was
a "barren rock" surrounded by some fishing villages.

And for now a flourishing international super centre
with more than 6.8 million people!

Meet Chinese traditions
... and the more than 150 years of colonial influence.

A unique combination for a fantastic one holiday experience ...
Sorry, we did it in one day!

Even in spite of the delight in the super rich shopping opportunities !!!

So ... we'll come back soon, Mr. & Lady Hong Kong!
Whoever you may be ... see you in December 2007!!!

TNQ for visit

    Thanks for visiting my Bangkok page, Roy. Nice tips on HK! I agree with your pros and cons of HK - the crowds and the smog in particular! However, the fantastic food and the view from the Peak (on a clear day!) make up for that! :-)
