Hotels in Hong Kong offer remarkable glimpses upon a city nicknamed the “Pearl of the Orient”. A special Chinese administrative district, Hong Kong is located just south of Shenzhen and across the Zhujiang River Estuary from Macau, an autonomous region known as the “Las Vegas of Asia”. A fast ferry one-way between Hong Kong and Macau takes about an hour. Known for its impressive skyline, harbors, shopping centers, restaurants, nightlife, museums, old-world traditions, new-world energy, natural surroundings and architecture, Hong Kong ranks as one of the world’s most expensive cities. Hong Kong’s currency is the Hong Kong dollar, cars travel on the left-hand side and the drinking age is 18 years old. Cantonese is the most widely spoken language, although nearly half of the population speaks English as well. Before traveling to Hong Kong it may be advisable to learn some Cantonese phrases and to learn to eat with chopsticks. An Octopus card is useful for making contactless electronic payments. Hong Kong festivals include Clockenflap, Lantern Festival, Chinese New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival, Ghost Festival and Dragon Boat Festival. While relatively a bit pricey, hotels in Hong Kong do come with all the bells and whistles. Before we get to hotels in Hong Kong, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.
Archaeological evidence suggests that people have inhabited the Hong Kong area for over 35,000 years. The area was first incorporated into China by way of the Qin dynasty circa 214 BCE. Portuguese explorer Jorge Álvares became the first European to visit the area in 1513. The Canton System was introduced in 1757 in order to regulate trade. In 1842, Hong Kong became a colony of the British Empire, which influenced the area’s significant economic expansion. The territory was transferred to China in 1997, becoming a special administrative region with a separate governing and economic system than that of the mainland.
Officially the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong sits alongside the Pearl River estuary in southern China. One of the world’s most densely populated cities, Hong Kong is home to around 7.5 million people. As such, the Pearl of the Orient has the largest number of skyscrapers of any city in the world. Summers are hot and humid, whereas winters are mild and typically sunny. Snowfall is rare. Hong Kong benefits from a capitalist mixed service economy, with low taxation and minimal government market intervention, emphasizing economic liberty and the rule of law. Over half the city’s population identifies themselves as “Hongkongers”, while only around 10 percent consider themselves “Chinese”. Restaurants, nightlife, cinema, music, business and sports are some of Hong Kong’s main attractions. Three forms of gambling are legal in Hong Kong: the lottery, horse racing and football. Major points of interest include the International Commerce Centre, Two International Finance Centre, Flagstaff House, Tin Hau Temple, Ping Shan Heritage Trail, Lui Seng Chun, Blue House, Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Avenue of Stars, the University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Cultural Centre, Happy Valley Racecourse and Hong Kong Stadium. Popular foods include pork, goose, chicken, seafood, wontons and dim sim (a Cantonese, bite-sized steamed dumping). A widely-sought alcoholic drink is baijiu (a strong, clear liquor served neat and usually with dinner). Now that we have some background information on the area, it’s time for hotels in Hong Kong that are sure to help make for an outstanding trip.
