About Hong Kong
Embark on an exciting vacation to the exuberant city of Macau where we will take you to visit the Ruins of St. Paul's Church, Senado Square, Lotus Square and revel in the innumerable casinos trying your luck! Move on to Hong Kong and see the Victoria Peak (top-levels) and Aberdeen Fishing Village, besides trying out the delicious cuisines, especially the street food. This holiday package is a true traveller's delight, and it is specially designed to let you experience the best of these two wonderful cities. So, are you coming?
Famous for its space-age cityscape, and warm nature, Hong Kong can overwhelm any visitor: neon lights twinkle on the skyline along with the stars, the air is abuzz with endless sounds; excited chatter, traffic and blaring music. This is essential Hong Kong, where lights, life and legacies somehow find place near each other.
A former British colony, Hong Kong is made up of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories. The outlying islands like Lantanu, Lamma and Cheung Chau are lesser known areas that are pretty recreation spots. Yet, there is much that no one knows about.
Local haunts like Silvermine beach are hidden in a world away from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong city. The nearby Po Lin Monastery, the looming Giant Buddha that sits atop Ngong Ping plateau, Repulse Bay and the stilt houses of Tai O Village are sights that are exceptional. Hop aboard the Ngong Ping 360 cable car ride from Tung Chung, and you will be swept away by the amazing view of the South China Sea, and the lush green that surrounds it. You can enjoy a romantic ride in a Swarovski-studded carriage with your loved one, or book one with a glass bottom if you want to feel like you are flying. Well, whoever said a dash of luxury couldn't work the magic?
Lose yourself in the crowds in reckless abandon without a care. Take in the view from Victoria Peak, the highest mountain in Hong Kong, or feel the buzz as the late evening crowd edges its way into popular bars, and succumb to the glitz and energy of Lan Kwai Fong district. Modern, groovy and stylish, the motto of everyone who heads to Hong Kong is loud and clear–live and let live!
