Review of Hong Kong
Hong Kong
Flights to Hong Kong take you to gleaming sky-scrapers designed with feng shui know-how, and the boat-filled Victoria harbour.
Things to do
Take the rumbling tram through Hong Kong's commercial hub, where a top-deck view brings dazzling silver towers above and hoards of people scurrying below. It's even more dramatic at night, when shop signs in Chinese are garish in neon.
Shopping
At Cat Street outdoor market, search the stalls to find souvenirs of your Hong Kong holiday like 1950s Chinese film posters and carved jade jewellery. You'll probably come across plenty of Mao memorabilia, a kitsch Hong Kong find.
Restaurants
Taste Cantonese specialties like dim sum and char siu (barbecued pork) after flights to Hong Kong. At Maxim's Palace overlooking the harbour, choose delicate steamed dumplings from the trolley being wheeled round.
Nightlife
On your holiday in Hong Kong, take a flight up 80 floors to a decadent bar in the Tsim Sha Tsui district. While you sip your cocktail, gaze down at the boat-filled Victoria Harbour and its neon-lit waterfront.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Hong Kong. Time your holiday to catch events like the high-octane Hong Kong Rugby Sevens in March, or the 2000-year-old Dragon Boat Festival in June.
