Time Country: Hong Kong - Asian pearl

 Hong Kong is also called the Celestial City. It is not surprising, because in order to build new air gate here, we had to move a little sea - 10 sqm, update the boundaries of the island and build a complex multilevel interchanges. City affects comfort, luxury and friendly atmosphere. Locals delicate, even the waiters in the restaurants look like that at some point you might think that aristocrats want to have fun, dressed in a special uniform. Communication is mainly kept in English, residents can easily come into contact with and therefore easy to travel alone, without guides. Hong Kongers - educated people, and no matter how strange sound to Asia, very European.

Title Hong Kong means "fragrant harbor", as in the old port of Victoria was always packed bales with spices, but today it's name sounds important. The city has a very pleasant smell wafting fragrance from the flower market and fish markets do not push so characteristic smell similar counters, and a hint of iodine and tempting aroma of fresh fish and local depth.

Here is amazing harmony of nature and technological progress. All buildings, stopping complexes and shops built exclusively for feng shui. Buddhist and Taoist temples surprising perfection of line and landscape design. An atmosphere of peace.

Striking architectural contrasts, next to skyscrapers and high-rises are pagodas and temples side by side with the banks, the history is closely intertwined with modernity at every step. For example, has long been destroyed in the old railway station, but the 44-meter with a seven-meter clock tower lightning rod, decorate it, remained.

Path to the peak of Victoria breathtaking. We must climb on the old tram-train, which travels at an angle of 45 degrees. Opens superzrelische: Fantastic falling skyscrapers and a beautiful view of the city.

Lantau Island draws a parallel with the city of contrasts. There plenty of greenery, peace. In Buddhist temples Lin is the largest bronze Buddha statue in the world. Its weight is 250 tons, and the height of 34 meters. To go to the statue, have to climb a high ladder, but on the road can admire the views and reflect on life - everything here has to this.

Hong Kong cuisine is diverse, you can try the Peking duck, rice and noodles, dim sum. Some dishes are prepared in the restaurant visitors themselves: in boiling vegetable broth boiled meat, fish, vegetables.
