Facts about Hong Kong - Victoria Harbour and Star Ferry

 

Formally run by the British, you can still feel the British influence, especially on Hong Kong Island. You will find many people that speak English. My first impression of Hong Kong was that is was like a huge amazing China town. One that you can't find your way out of!

 

Hong Kong is a great family vacation idea or even more so an excellent Romantic Vacation idea. Warren and I visited Hong Kong in July of 2009, and will use Hong Kong as a starting point for any other Asia trip. We absolutely loved it, and were fortunate to have our own tour guides, our friends Eric and Mark who moved there in 2008.

 

We returned for another great trip in July of 2011 and had just as much fun!
