City descritpion
The cityscape of Hong Kong is characterized by a contrast of modern skyscrapers and traditional architecture. While the narrow streets of the center are filled with countless merchants, the junks and sampans dotting the coast provide an insight into a different world. In the duty-free capital of the world, you can get everything you want from the latest electronics and Chinese porcelain to antiquities and hand-tailored suits. If you need a rest, you can visit one of the numerous restaurants or Victoria Peak where you can enjoy a fantastic view of the city. In addition, the former British colony offers some impressive sights.
Victoria Harbor
The natural harbor is situated between Hong Kong Island and the peninsula of Kowloon and is considered to be one of the most beautiful ports of the world. Victoria Harbor is famous for sights such as Victoria Peak, its night-time panoramas and its colorful celebrations.

Po Lin Monastery
