Hong Kong offers an intoxicating blend of refinement, exclusivity and tradition together with the vitality of a glamorous modern city with a fabled past. The city's shopping and dining are its standouts. Whether your taste is for elegant fabrics from luxury boutiques like Shanghai Tang, funky clothes and accessories from the city's bustling markets, electronic gadgets from the modern malls, or the famous jade and jewelry, Hong Kong remains the Far East's most eclectic shopping city.

Enjoy a leisurely afternoon tea or cocktails at a rooftop bar in any of the city's premier hotels, taking in the famous skyline, or stay grounded in the late night bars and night clubs of Central and SoHo.

The opening of Hong Kong Disneyland in 2005 is a major boost to the city as a family destination, complementing established favourites like Victoria Peak, Ocean Park, attractive Repulse Bay and the outlying islands of Lantau and Lamma.
