Hong Kong TRAVEL GUIDE AND DEALS

Designated a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China after the British handed it back in 1997, Hong Kong is a study in opposites: colonial, historical buildings nuzzle up against cutting-edge skyscrapers, while the entire city stands starkly against lush, green mountains and the jewel-blue buffer of the surrounding South China Sea.

Why Go

 To see one of the most imposing skylines in the world – a mix of gleaming high-rises and lush mountains – and to experience the kaleidoscope of cultures (from British-colonial to ancient Chinese) that keep the city buzzing.
