The buzzing metropolis of Hong Kong lies in the northern part of Hong Kong Island and is the centre of the country’s economy, entertainment, and tourism. Known for its distinctive chic architectural landmarks (like the I.M. Pei’s Bank of China Tower), the city centre represents the cutting edge of modern design in the country. A major shopping destination, it offers slick malls; vibrant streets lined by stores; and the renowned, un-gentrified, historic Temple Night Street Market. Watch the skyscrapers and forest-clad hills go by on one of the legendary (and affordable) boat cruises, or take the tram up to the top of ‘The Peak’, the highest point on the island, for panoramas of the glittering city, the Victorian Harbour, and the green hills of the New Territories. Other highlights - among the many - include the city’s acclaimed bespoke tailors.
