Hong Kong

The bustling city-state of Hong Kong was just a collection of fishing villages when claimed by Britain in 1842 following the First Opium War with China. Hong Kong's magnificent harbour has been the key to its development as a trading port and entrepôt for China, progressing through an industrial era to become a leading financial and services centre in Asia. The unique blend of eastern and western influences, matched by diverse attractions and stunning countryside, has also made Hong Kong Asia's prime tourist destination.
