Hong Kong could well be the new Eden, albeit one with a 21st century metropolis
at its centre. Situated on a tiny south-eastern peninsula of China and the
group of islands that surrounds it, Hong Kong is a spectacular corner of
the world, covered in forests and surrounded by the azure south China Sea.
Hong Kong was one of the British Empire's most far-flung outposts for 150
years, before finally being returned to Chinese rule at the end of the 20th
century.
Lying at the south-eastern tip of China, Hong Kong adjoins the province
of Guangdong (Canton) and is just south of the tropic of Cancer. The country
is made up of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the new territories. Today,
Hong Kong is a great international trading post, a powerful manufacturing
base and one of the world's largest financial centres.
Hong Kong's currency is the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD). It is two and a half
hours ahead of Indian Standard Time. Even after reunification with China,
Hong Kong remains by and large bilingual. Road signs and information are
commonly published in both Cantonese and English. The official language
of the territory is Cantonese.
The city is vibrant, filled with excitement and lined with skyscrapers.
The best time to visit is between April and October, when the humidity is
low, so you can do your fill of sightseeing and still travel in comfort.
