Trip.com's Hong Kong City Guide offers the best personalizedguide to Hong Kong. The former British colony has always been animmeasurably important point of trade – from the opium trade in the1800’s to a major financial center -- Hong Kong has blossomed intoa energizing vacation destination. Even though the harbor cityreturned to Chinese sovereignty in 1997 as a 'specialadministrative region,' Hong Kong retains innumerable distinctions-- a separate currency, left-side driving, a capitalist-friendlyeconomic system. Simply admiring the way life in the most denselypopulated region in the world is a highlight of a visit to HongKong -- from floating homes on fishing junks in Aberdeen to theubiquitous high-rise -- but leave the city center for topattractions, such as Lantau Island's “The Big Buddha,” a 250-tonstatue of Buddha. Harbor cruises, shopping, and riding the PeakTram to see Hong Kong from above are also popular things to do.You’ll find excellent dim sum restaurants here, in addition tosucculent roast meats and noodles. If you want an extravaganthotel, Hong Kong will do you right, but dozens of guesthouses andhostels offer simple rooms for less.

Hong Kong and its New Territories offers everything in terms ofshopping, dining, nature, and history that a traveler could wishfor. But those seeking a different flavor can take a day trip toMacau, another Special Administrative Region, or Shenzhen (Chinesevisa required). The former offers rich Portuguese history in botharchitecture, culture, and cuisine. Here, it's not uncommon to hearchildren speaking both Chinese and the language of its formercolonizers. Under this cultural backdrop rises a number ofworld-class casino resorts, such as the Venetian and the Wynn. InShenzhen, travelers can find affordable clothing and wares to bringhome, as well as centers and parks rich with Chinese culturalhistory.
