  6. 6 TIPS for your Hong Kong & China Holiday Food glorious food Hit the shops For the kid in all of us Nothing in Hong Kong is done by halves, which is why the super kid- friendly Ocean Park is not solely an amusement park, but also a marine mammal enclosure, oceanarium and animal park. Boasting over 80 attractions, there are interactive areas showcasing everything from the North Pole to historic Hong Kong. An impressive blend of entertainment and education. Glazed and syrup-coated, then hung dry and roasted, Chinese cuisine will have you salivating at the mere thought of it, but none more so than traditional Peking duck. Attracting an almost cult-following, it’s best enjoyed in Beijing - with lashings of sweet bean sauce. Put Hong Kong’s Temple Street Night Market on your wish list because it’s a magical mix of traders, talent and fortune tellers. Weave your way from vendors to opera singers, and endless festivity. For an eclectic mix of east meets west, Shanghai’s Xin Tian Di Street is a pedestrianised area replete with galleries, cafés, boutiques and restaurants. With original 1920s facades, traditional China meets the modern day, and because western influence is rife, expect to find big US chain stores amidst a niche choice of Chinese designers. With a little nod to its British past, Hong Kong delivers one of the best high teas in Asia at the renowned Peninsula Hotel. Served daily in The Lobby, the food’s refined, the service faultless and the cream, well it’s Devonshire and clotted of course. Hong Kong Zoo opened in 1871 and includes the city’s lush botanical gardens, located on the Northern slope of Victoria Peak. Admire an inner-city sanctuary framed by skyscrapers and then head to the playground and aviaries. Don’t leave China, mainland or otherwise, without eating your own weight in dumplings. Be sure to try Xiaolongbao in the Jiangnan region (and Shanghai especially) which are unbeatable. Steamed in small bamboo baskets they’re lightly ‘soup-filled’, so you get a good dose of meat as well as jus. If you can handle the crowds, Nanjing Road is Shanghai’s main shopping street. More than just a shopping district, there are parks, People’s Square, museums, art galleries and opera houses. At 6 kilometres long, Nanjing Road is also the world’s longest shopping street - credit cards at the ready. As with Disneylands everywhere, kids and adults love them! Indulge in a whimsical holiday when you venture to Hong Kong Disneyland or Shanghai Disneyland, or make your mark at both… a Disney extravaganza! 2

  7. View from the top Explore the waterways Hit the streets Is there any better backdrop than Shanghai’s Oriental Pearl and the World Financial Centre? Especially at night when the entire Lujiazui skyline sparkles like an enormous fairground. Make a beeline for the Bund’s Bar Rouge, with its large terrace overlooking the best of it, while the dazzling views from Hyatt’s VUE bar are only matched by an equally stunning décor. Hutongs are a type of alleyway typical to northern China, and particularly Beijing. They’re also the best way to experience ‘Old Beijing’ at its traditional best. A relic that time forgot, get lost in a China built centuries past, amongst crooked old houses and children chasing rickshaws down the street. Suzhou, a city west of Shanghai, is best known for its canals, bridges and seductive waterways. Dubbed the ‘Venice of China’, it’s defined by ornate gardens and Asian pagodas. Soak up The Grand Canal and stop for a fragrant tea beside the slow, sedate water. In Shanghai, the Huangpu River divides the city into two parts: Puxi to Pudong. You can get from one to the other via Shanghai’s century old ferry boats. The sweeping skyline views are breath-taking, and with over 40 ferry terminals fronting both sides of the river, it’s convenient too. From traditional Asia to a street influenced by a very western concept: Las Vegas, Macau’s Cotai Strip boasts multiple hotel-casinos all lining the Cotai section of Macau. As glitzy as its US cousin, the lights never go out here. In Hong Kong you’ll want to enjoy incredible 360-degree views of Victoria Harbour from the 100th floor of Hong Kong’s tallest building - the International Commerce Centre (ICC). And then there’s Hong Kong come nightfall. If you consider this city busy by day, it really revs it up a gear from dusk. There’s a distinct ‘work-hard, play-hard’ ethic here, and tourists are fully encouraged to partake. Dine, dance or simply enjoy the raucous ambience, but sleep is not an option. While in Shanghai, Jin Mau’s Cloud 9 Bar, part of the Grand Hyatt Shanghai, is located on the 87th floor and is one of the highest bars in the world. Watch as the clouds pass before your eyes, and drinks. Hong Kong’s Star Ferry is famous for shuttling passengers between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon for a super low fare. In operation since 1898, the prices have barely changed since. Come nightfall, board the Star Ferry for knockout views of Victoria Harbour. 3

  8. Experience Hong Kong Hong Kong is literally a living fusion of traditional Eastern and Western cultures. It’s fast paced with a dazzling array of high rise buildings, neon lights and billboards. Split into two by the harbour, Hong Kong has two main regions – Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. For such a compact island, Hong Kong Island carries plenty of punch as a holiday destination. With the many shopping options, restaurants and bars around the Central district and a journey to the Peak for a bird’s eye view of the island – and beyond. Venture to Stanley Markets, marvel over the temples at Aberdeen or dine on seafood at Repulse Bay. A tourist hot spot, Kowloon’s famous Nathan Road and its ‘Golden Mile’ are a magnet for bargain hunting shoppers and diners. Tsim Sha Tsui is one of Hong Kong’s major entertainment areas, popular both during the day and after dark. Visit the Hong Kong Museum of Art and the Hong Kong Space Museum before venturing to the Peninsula for its world renowned High Tea. While she feels like a cosmopolitan city, under her contemporary exterior is a traditional Chinese lady at heart. Peer down from Victoria Peak, wind your way through the streets of Mongkok, bag a bargain at the markets, and without a doubt the harbour is the centrepiece, with its dazzling skyline and nightly ‘Symphony of the Lights’ fireworks and laser light extravaganza. 4

  9. Experience Hong Kong Our favourite things to see and do Catch the Tram up to the Peak – Enjoy the classic Hong Kong tradition and take in some of the best views across the city. In the funicular, try to sit on the right hand side for the best views on the way up. Harbour Light Show – Victoria Harbour is dazzling all on its own, but each night the city puts on a ‘Symphony of Lights’ which involves more than 40 buildings on both sides of the harbour. Recognised in the Guinness World Records as the world’s largest permanent light and sound show, there are laser beams and searchlights that perform an unforgettable light spectacle synchronised to music. Hullett House – Dine at the prized Loong Toh Yuen Cantonese restaurant. The highly acclaimed chef scours the markets for new tastes and ingredients, adding his own contemporary interpretation to Cantonese cuisine. Giant Buddha – No trip to Hong Kong would be complete without a visit to the Giant Buddha which sits serenely atop Ngong Ping plateau amid the spectacular mountain scenery of Lantau Island. Climb more than 200 steps or take the Ngong Ping 360 cableway from Tung Chung to the culturally themed village. Ladies’ Market – Featuring over 100 stalls of bargain clothing, accessories and souvenirs and stretching one kilometre. Be sure to practice your haggling skills to bag the best bargain. Lan Kwai Fong – One of Hong Kong’s most popular nightlife hot spots and home to over 90 restaurants and bars. Hosting carnivals and celebrations throughout the year, this area comes alive. Harbour Cruise – Victoria Harbour is Hong Kong’s heart, so to catch the real essence jump onboard a harbour cruise. From a hop on hop off tour, to sunset cruises, experience Hong Kong in the most unique way.

  18. Experience China After being a world power centuries ago then closing their doors to outside influences, China has opened itself up again and is taking its place preening on the world stage. Diverse, exotic and mysterious, China is the world’s most populous country with a rich culture stretching back at least 4000 years. China is as unique as it is eclectic, from the hustle and bustle of huge cities such as Shanghai and Beijing, to the quiet introspection of the monasteries and temples. Even the cuisine varies dramatically from one province to another. While cities such as Beijing and Shanghai are certainly must-see destinations, you can only truly appreciate this huge nation if you explore the countryside and see the contrasts it has to offer. The once imperial capital of 11 dynasties, Xian, is a haven of archaeological wonders. It is home to the Terracotta Warriors, the famed life sized tomb guards of Emperor Qin Si Huang and the only city in China that still has its ancient city wall surrounding it. Its resurgence as an economic powerhouse has brought a new freedom and new opportunity for foreigners to explore this fascinating country. You can return time and time again and always find something new to fascinate you. 14

  19. Experience China Our favourite things to see and do The Bund – The famous Shanghai waterfront, regarded as the symbol of Shanghai for hundreds of years, is a celebration of China’s diversity. The most attractive sight on the west side are the 26 various buildings of different architectural styles including Gothic, Baroque, Romanesque, Classicism and Renaissance. Not what you’d expect in China. Giant Pandas – How can you resist the beautiful faces of China’s oldest inhabitants? These cuddly bears are the national emblem of China and their protection is a top priority for China. The Chengdu Panda Research Base is home to 80 pandas and set up to resemble their natural surroundings of their original home in north Sichuan. You can even cuddle a baby panda during your visit so don’t miss this highlight. The Great Wall of China – Stretching almost 9000 kilometres long from the Gobi Desert in the west to the Bohai Sea in the east, this spectacular wall is one of China’s most famous attractions. Original construction began more than 2000 years ago to protect China from the nomad threat in the north, since then the Great Wall has been rebuilt and maintained and the majority of the existing wall is from the Ming Dynasty. The Wall is accessible from many different sections. Head to the Mutianyu or Juyongguan sections instead of Badaling as they are far less crowded. All three sections are in close proximity to Beijing. Li River – Connecting the two beautifully picturesque spots of Guilin and Yangshuo and lined with tranquil blue waters, natural landscapes and views to die for. Highlights along the river include Elephant Trunk Mountain, a hill that resembles an elephant drinking water from the river and Seven Star Park, covering more than 120 hectares and featuring seven peaks.
