It's been over a decade since the British handover, and Hong Kong is more powerful and Chinese than most would have ever predicted. So learn the Cantonese basics before visiting! This 24-hour cosmo must-visit city lives by a work-hard / play-hard philosophy. Wedge yourself between the two diverse cultures - east and west. Explore all the natural beauty this city has to offer: white beaches, secluded islets, lush mountains. The pulsing and on-going nightlife is an urban jungle for who's who in the zoo. Make sure to go with a fat wallet, as most late night options are membership only.
