Hong Kong was originally the name of the small settlement of present day Aberdeen. It was an important fishing and transit port before the colonial period. Some historians say that its Chinese name was derived from the fragrant incense that frequently wafted around the waterways.

"Not my favourite"

I don't like Hong Kong. Kowloon is too crowded and I hate the double deckers, people are ok but not as hospitable as in Mainland China. Then Hong Kong Island: Expensive, cold people and all people seem to care about is their image.

"Has more to offer than what you think"

Unlike what many people think, Hong Kong is not just about shopping. Hong Kong has great natural scenery to offer, especially Sai Kung National Park, in the New Territories. Beautiful nature, parks and beaches is what I loved the most.

"HONG KONG IS A PLACE TO RELAX, BE ENTERTAINED, SHOP AND TO ENJOY"

This is a great place, where anybody from any ages can enjoy- visiting the various parks- disneyland and ocean park, and experiencing their culture- Lantau Island. The food is great, as well as the linked transportation service (MTR) serves this as a good place to visit. Hong Kong is a nice place not only for businessman alike but for tourists who just wanted to enjoy

Hong Kong is really worth a visit. I went many times as I was living in Taiwan for a few years. HK is just great. Modern but also typical if you walk averywhere. Food is amazing. Shopping is great. People are very nice. Easy to travel around. Just great!

I'd have to say it is the best city in the world. I could never imagine a place like this. What is incredible is that if I were to think of the best city, Hong Kong is even better! It is a place of dreams!
