Description
Hong Kong combines traditional Chinese values with some of the very best in modern technology to be one of Asia's most exciting and vibrant cities. It is this mixture of Chinese tradition, British colonial history and 21st-century high-tech make it a dynamic place to visit. Each season brings a different flavour to Hong Kong's bustle, with religious and cultural festivals throughout the year. Hong Kong is the home of the shopaholic. It is said that if you can buy it, Hong Kong will sell it, and if Causeway Bay on Hong Kong Island doesn't sell it, it probably doesn't exist. Also popular in Hong Kong is horse racing, and Happy Valley Race Track is an oasis of green in the middle of the city, where thousands of locals and tourists attend race meetings between September and June each year. For short journeys within Hong Kong, taxis are your best bet but the fastest way to get into town from the airport is by taking the Airport Express railway, which costs $70 one-way.
