If the expression "city of contrasts" is fully applicable to any place in the world, it is Hong Kong. In it, like in a giant cauldron, dozens of cultures and languages, customs and rules, religions and habits are ground and cooked. Among the popular destinations, tours to Hong Kong do not occupy the first steps of the podium due to the long-distance flight and impressive cost. However, the most advanced travelers are increasingly booking flights to this business and entertainment capital of Asia.
Briefly about the important
- A flight to Hong Kong with a direct flight from Moscow lasts a little over nine hours. An excellent option is a connecting flight via Abu Dhabi or Dubai. Airlines from the UAE often have lucrative special offers, and the service on board, even in economy class, is a matter of great respect.
- The Special Administrative and Economic Region is the official status of the city. It is part of the PRC, but has its own currency. The money is called Hong Kong dollars.
- The subequatorial monsoon Hong Kong climate allows this area to have two fairly distinct seasons. From December to mid-March, the city is quite cool and dry, and in other months the temperature can reach +30 with heavy rainfall.
- For smokers, tours to Hong Kong can be particularly challenging. It is forbidden to smoke in the city outside specially designated areas. They are marked with plaques and equipped with large yellow ashtray urns. Violation of the rules entails a considerable fine.
- Getting from the mainland to Hong Kong Island is cheaper and more pleasant by boat, which starts approximately every twenty minutes. Travel time does not take even half an hour, and the views from the side are quite capable of replacing a full-fledged water excursion.
- The nightly show "Symphony of Lights" starts at 20.00. Its participants are the skyscrapers of Hong Kong, and the performance itself was included in the Guinness Book of Records.
- When booking tours to Hong Kong, it is important to decide on the hotel. Hotel prices are not cheap here, and the area of the room can be so minimal that it will be difficult to even accommodate large luggage.
Visiting a panda
Tours to Hong Kong are a great opportunity to visit the best Chinese amusement park. It is called Ocean Park, and in it you can stock up on adrenaline on a roller coaster, walk through a maze of horrors, applaud the participants in a performance at a dolphinarium, and even feed giant pandas, whose family are the favorite characters of the local guests and visitors.
