In this dynamic and ever changing city, which is now ruled by mainland China, visitors can see old markets, modern shopping malls, exotic food, art and theater, high-rise skyscrapers, parks, and more. And don't forget about the amazing food!
Hong Kong has beaches, theme parks, horse racing, hiking and biking, and plenty of other activities for the curious visitor. And don't forget to go shopping - not that you'll forget.

Just make sure to poke your head up for some daylight every now and then.
In some sections of Hong Kong the food is one of the main lures for tourists.
