For sightseeing and entertainment, Hong Kong is a city of contrasts – a unique blend of bustling streets and peaceful countryside, of ancient heritage and pristine nature, balanced by modern attractions and theme parks. For active, outdoor types, take your pick from golf to hiking on land, and sailing to powerboating in the beautiful waters that surround the city, or even an unique tram party along the north shore of Hong Kong Island! All of these activities are easily accessible from anywhere with the compact territory that is made up of almost 70% naturally mountainous countryside.

No visit is complete without a shopping spree in a tax-free environment. The value, variety and service quality are unparalleled, whether you choose a glitzy mall or funky street market. There are a number of fun drinking, dining and clubbing areas like Lan Kwai Fong, SoHo, Wanchai and Causeway Bay on Hong Kong Island, and various parts of Tsim Sha Tsui, including Knutsford Terrace in Kowloon. And in a city that never sleeps, the nightlife is legendary.
