About Hong Kong
Hong Kong is a city that describes itself as a "kaleidoscope of life", a sophisticated fusion of East and West.
By day, HongKong mixes traditional culture with modern day excitement. Visitors are invited to learn the ancient art of Tai Chi free of charge in awe inspiring settings either on the Tsim Sha Tsui harbour front overlooking Hong Kong Island or up on "The Peak" looking down over the city and harbour.
For those who want to indulge in a bit of retail therapy, Hong Kong offers fantastic shopping malls where visitors will be sure to lose themselves in retail heaven!
By night, Hong Kong will amaze you with its show, A Symphony of Lights. Named the "World's Largest Permanent Light and Sound Show" by the Guinness World Records, the show expands across 44 buildings on both sides of the Victoria Harbour to create an all-round vision of coloured lights, laser beams and searchlights performing a stunning, unforgettable spectacle synchronised to music and narration that celebrates the energy, spirit and diversity of HongKong.
