Hong Kong is a place with multiple personalities, as a result of being Cantonese Chinese with a long-time British influence. Today, the former colony is a major tourism destination for China ¡¯s increasingly affluent population. It is also an important hub in the Chinese Diaspora with global connections to many of the world¡¯s cities. It is a unique destination that has absorbed people and cultural influences from places as diverse as Vietnam and Vancouver . The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People¡¯s Republic of China is much more than a harbour city. The traveller weary of its crowded streets may be tempted to describe it as ¡°Hong Kongcrete¡±. Yet, this SAR with its cloudy mountains and rocky islands is mostly a rural landscape. Much of the countryside is classified as Country Park and, although 7 million people are never far away, it is possible to find pockets of wilderness that will reward the more intrepid tourist. Hong Kong has a subtropical climate with at least one season to match your comfort zone. Boasting one of the world¡¯s best airports, it is the ideal stopover for those who wish to travel deeper into the Orient.
