Hong Kong, until recently a prized British Crown Colony, is now part of China. Enjoying more civil liberties than any other Chinese city that's not named Macau, Hong Kong is quite a remarkable place, but it's actually two cities: Hong Kong proper, and Kowloon, just across the harbour. Despite its millions of people, Hong Kong is a beautiful city, with white beaches, secluded islets and mountains looming overhead.

Two widely divergent cultures vie for attention in Hong Kong. The city is far more Chinese than it used to be, but British influences are still deep and strong, giving visitors on cheap holidays to Hong Kong the opportunity to experience two cultures simultaneously.

Hong Kong is an ongoing clash between the old ways and the new, but the clash is always amicably settled. It's a place where visitors are likely to find an upscale boutique next to a traditional Chinese noodle kitchen. Or a gleaming, air- conditioned shopping mall a block away from a traditional back street market. Fine dining, high-end shopping, traditional Chinese haunts and accommodation in Hong Kong are everywhere you turn when you're in this intriguing city.

Hong Kong's harbour by day looks like a mixture of Manhattan and San Francisco, and after dark it's even better: a nightly laser light and music show illuminates the city's towers. Cheap flights to the south side of Hong Kong Island, at either Stanley or Repulse Bay, present a different picture, more like a classical Chinese painting. The city centre is one of the Pacific Rim's most important financial centres and has the dazzling modern architecture to show it, including the Bank of China Tower and the International Finance Centre, Hong Kong's tallest building. Travellers looking for British colonial buildings will find Government House, the former Gate Lodge on the Peak and the former Kowloon-Canton Railway Clock Tower.

The Star Ferry boats area symbol of the city, and all travellers on cheap holidays to Hong Kong should take a ride because the view of the waterfronts from the ferry is one of the best around. The Mid-Levels Escalator is the worlds longest at 800m, built for commuters to travel up and down a wealthy residential hillside. It's free, and it provides a fine view of the fashionable Soho district and its restaurants, clubs and antique stores and galleries. If that's not enough, Hong Kong has transport links to neighbouring Macau, a former Portuguese colony that's now a part of China and a major Far East casino destination.
