Hong Kong Travel

Hong Kong travel may be the choice locale for travel plans this year. Rife with Chinese history, yet teeming with all the familiar comforts of a big city, this city will provide the perfect destination for those wanting to experience Asian culture without the culture shock. Travel to this location is virtually hassle-free. A U.S. citizen can visit without a Hong Kong travel visa for up to one month. Also encouraging is the fact that most of the shopkeepers, hotel workers, and vendors in this city speak English, so there is no need to brush up on Cantonese. Add to that a subtropical climate with temperatures ranging from 63 F in the winter to 84 F in the summer, and this city offers up an Asian paradise ready to be experienced year round.

The must-sees for any plans include Statue Square, a contemporary, architectural feast for the eyes. Impossibly designed without a central core, Statue Square features some of the most amazingly engineered buildings in the world; including the Bank of China Tower and the HSBC Hong Kong headquarter building. Be sure to visit Victoria Peak, which hosts many kid-friendly attractions like Ripley's Believe It or Not Odditorium and Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. Victoria Peak also offers adults excellent shopping and restaurants. For a more relaxing day, head for Aberdeen at the southern tip of the island. Aberdeen is a truly modernized waterfront resort that offers a peek into the past of old fishing villages. Dine at one of the many fantastic seafood restaurants and watch the fishing trawlers make their catch. There are many other attractions, so consult a guide for Hong Kong travel.

No plans would be complete without a taste of the local cuisine. Hong Kong specializes in Cantonese food, which is the Chinese food with which Americans are most familiar. Dishes boast the finest fresh ingredients, and are typically boiled or steamed rather than fried, which makes for guilt-free, satisfying meals. During the day, stop at a teahouse for some Dim Sum--light appetizers served from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. For a romantic evening during your visit, indulge in the succulent roast duck, a delicious fire roasted dish delectably moistened with shaoxing wine, soy sauce, and honey. Green or Jasmine Tea will perfectly complement the flavors in your meal for a healthy and savory sensation.

Christianity is a growing population in Hong Kong, and there are several English speaking churches to worship. Don't forget to give God the glory for the time and money He has provided for the Hong Kong travel plans. "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31).
