Hong Kong Travel Guide For Travelers

A former colony of the United Kingdom; Hong Kong is now one of China's
shining stars when it comes to international tourism. The city is
increasingly becoming a global link for China to show off its true
culture and warmth. Being primarily a harbor city, Hong Kong Special
administrative region (SAR) is made up many different parts namely the
Hong Kong Island which is most famous among travelers. Then we have
the kowloon which is a neck of land with around 2.1 million people
residing. We also have 'the new territories' which is the new and
latest piece of land taken by the British. Lastly, the outlying
Islands which complete Hong Kong are group of islands that lie in the
southern part of SAR.People
The major population here is Chinese, Han Chinese to exact, although,
there are other groups of Chinese such as teochews. One can also find a
considerable amount of South Asian communities here who have been settled
for quite a number of years. Philipinos, Indonesians and Thais are also
found in great numbers. The majority of the people speak Cantonese here
which adds few English words.




Climate
The climate here remains moderate for most of the year. The minimum
temperature in winters goes down to 10 degrees, while the max summers are
around 30 degrees. But, during the spring months of March till May the
weather is extremely pleasant with temperatures hovering around the mid
twenties.Getting Here
First time visitors must note that Hong Kong has its own set of
immigration and visa system and hence Chinese mainland entrance from Hong
Kong warrants a new visa. Visitors who arrive here by plane will be using
the Hong Kong international airport which is main point of air entry to
the island. Various major international destinations run flights to Hong
Kong. Cathay Pacific and Drogon Air are the two major international
carriers of Hong Kong.Moving Around
From the airport, there are various means to tour the city and its
attractions. One can always take the public bus system which can take you
around the four districts of Hong Kong. Ferries are also an excellent
option to move from Macau and around the Island Harbor. You can also use
the metro as there are several lines that allow crossing the harbor. From
the airport, the Airport express is the best way to reach the city.Major

sea food. Chopsticks are quite frequently used and are a major etiquette
during Chinese eating outs. Some of the most famous local dishes include
the Dim Sum, Sui Mei, Congee, Noodles and Tong Sui. Various varieties of
sea food are also available for sea food lovers.Security
