Hong Kong Part of China since 1997, Hong Kong remains as exciting as it always has been and offers visitors some great sights along with an excellent dining scene and a vibrant nightlife. Hong Kong is your classic 'east meets west' destination, is often seen as the 'Gateway to China' and is definitely one of the World's most vibrant cities. Hong Kong is a brilliant destination for all of Incentive Travel Groups, s and Conferences, offers great Spouse programmes as well as the opportunity for a twin centre itinerary including Beijing or Shanghai. Extensions throughout all of China can easily be offered. Sightseeing Hong Kong Island - a day visiting the Peak, Aberdeen and Stanley with rides on the Star Ferry and Peak Tram is an absolute MUST when visiting Hong Kong. A night time visit to the Peak to see Hong Kong's famous skyline is also a great idea. Kowloon - more 'Chinese' than Hong Kong Island offers some superb markets and a visit here lets one see real life in Hong Kong. This is also a great part of town for a treasure hunt and who can miss the bright lights of Nathan Road? The New Territories - days of hiking, visiting remote villages and beaches are all possible and in the northern New Territories, village life continues relatively unchanged. Hong Kong's Islands - there are 260 islands forming Hong Kong and a day to Lantau, home to the Big Buddha, Tai O Fishing Village and stunning beaches is great fun as are the seafood restaurants on Lamma Island Macau & Shenzhen - both cities are within 1 hour of Hong Kong and offer stark contrasts. Macau revels in its Portuguese heritage and offers a delightful day with great food, wine and even a flutter at its casinos. Shenzhen is modern and brash and offers some of the areas' best shopping with excellent prices, though a Chinese visa is required for a visit here. Fun Activities We are able to offer a number of exiting and very Chinese style events in Hong Kong and those which we find work particularly well are: A Helicopter Ride is a great way to truly see Hong Kong and the stunning city that Eastern Journeys calls home. Day and Evening trips are offered. Tai Chi - an ancient art form to encourage the body's vital energy flows to be in alignment and a useful teaching tool to encourage balance and harmony.
