In its multi-faceted role as a repository of traditional Chinese culture, the last jewel in the crown of the British Empire and one of the key economies of the Pacific Rim,
HONG KONG
is East Asia's most extraordinary city. The territory's per capita GNP, for example, has doubled in a decade, overtaking that of the former imperial power. Yet the inequality of incomes is staggering: the conspicuous consumption of the few hundred super-rich (all Cantonese) for which Hong Kong is famous tends to mask the fact that most people work long hours and live in crowded, tiny apartments. In spite of this, the population of almost seven million is generally sophisticated and well informed compared to their mainland cousins, the result of a vibrant and free press (although self-censorship is a constant and growing concern). The territory is currently the largest trading partner and largest source of foreign investment for the People's Republic of China, a country of 1.2 billion people. And the view of sky-scrapered Hong Kong Island, across the harbour from Kowloon, is one of the most stunning urban panoramas on earth.
Arrival And Information :
Orientation for new arrivals in the main urban areas is relatively easy: if you are "
Hong Kong-side
" - on the northern shore of Hong Kong Island -
Victoria Harbour
lies to your north, while to your south the land slopes upwards steeply to the
Peak
. The heart of this built-up area on Hong Kong Island is known, rather mundanely, as
Central
. Just across the harbour, in the area known as
Tsimshatsui
, you are "
Kowloon-side
", and here all you really need to recognize is the colossal north-south artery,
Nathan Road
, full of shops and budget hotels, that leads down to the harbour, and to the phenomenal view south over Hong Kong Island. Two more useful points for orientation on both sides of Victoria Harbour are the
Star Ferry Terminals
where the popular cross-harbour ferries dock, in Tsimshatsui (a short walk west of the south end of Nathan Road) and in Central. More Hong Kong information...
