All that one can ever ask for

"Pearl of the Orient"

*Not a personal shot.
The most common comment I get from friends returning from a trip to my home city is, "It wasn't anything like what I thought!"

Just like anyone madly in love with their own city, I am terribly biased when it comes to HK. But I suppose if you've been here before and experienced the dazzling bustle AND the relaxing side (we don't actually rush around 24/7!) of this charming city, you'll know where I'm coming from.

Spend a night with your beloved in Tsim Sha Tsui and just take in view across Victoria Harbour; take a stroll around Stanley and have dim sum by the bay; throw yourself into the street markets and high end boutiques and do what the locals love too-- shopping! Do all that and then some-- I dare say you'll leave saying just what my friends have said!

Pros:"Great atmosphere, people, and transport!"
Cons:"Terribly hot in the summer. Thank goodness for air conditioning."
In A Nutshell:"My favourite city in the world."

 Hi jane! Hong Kong is really an urban jungle, isn't it? Glad you visited it as well, nice tips! Norman :)

 Aha, so you are from Hong Kong? I found your hometown! I actually lived here for 4 years and the first Cantonese phrase I learned was "Nay yommo GAO chou waaaaah"

 Enjoyed your photos. HKG is one of my favorite cities. Birthday greetings from Alaska!
