The first meeting in Hong Kong can overwhelm. Navigating busy, crowded sidewalks and met at every turn by a neon sign, canteens full steam, molasses-slow traffic and a Babel of conversation.
Once this first wave rolled sense to you, but take a deep breath and start swimming with the current, because you will find Hong Kong is a place of enjoyment inside completely safe and fantastically well-organized, offering little moments of perfection. You can find them in a plastic stool to enjoy a bowl of soup to negotiate on your chest or just look at the stunning views of the harbor. You can find them, take afternoon tea in the cool of a hotel lobby or enjoy five-star beer festival outdoors.
Hong Kong can push it out of your comfort zone, but usually, reward you for it, so try stinky beancurd, choice of shredded jellyfish, brave the hordes at the center line and join in the early morning, Tai Chi. Escape the city limits and experiences are available - watch the sunrise from a distant mountain peak, hiking surf-beaten beaches or explore desert islands.
If it's pampering you're after, money can buy the ultimate luxury in a city well used for its young, wealthy elite. In contrast, Hong Kong, a city of simple pleasures. Usually, this is the cheapest experience - a $ 2 tram or ferry ride, a whiff of incense curling from temple rafters, enjoy the fishing village and seafood appetizers - which is the contents of priceless memories.
The name "Hong Kong" is an approximate phonetic rendering of the pronunciation of spoken Cantonese means "fragrant harbor". Before 1842, when the name of a creek - now Aberdeen Harbour or Little Hong Kong - Aberdeen Island and the south side of Hong Kong island, which was one of the first points of contact between British soldiers and local fishermen.
The reference to the smell can be connected to the port water with fresh water influx of the Pearl River estuary, and incense from the factories along the coast north of Kowloon pertaining stored around Aberdeen Harbour for export before the development of Victoria Harbour located sweetened. Signed in 1842-Treaty of Nanking and the name Hong Kong was the first cover in the official documents, the whole island.
