First impressions of Hong Kong are of a stunning skyline, one that's iconic around the world: it's breathtaking, particularly from certain vantage points peppered throughout the Chinese territory. It's unmissable and should be included in every Hong Kong itinerary.
Then there's the cuisine, tastebud titillating and rich in history, texture and flavour. Mother Nature and tradition, too, play a part in making Hong Kong a satisfying travel destination. Visiting Hong Kong is a sensory feast, an overload of impressive sights, sounds, smells and sensations.
In 2019, though, political relations with mainland China strained, resulting in riots throughout key parts of the city. Do your research carefully prior to visiting to ensure your personal safety will not be adversely affected.
