The skyline is afire with
the city-lights that look like a stream of glittering diamonds in the
sky. The world's most impressive crowd of sky-scrapers, this skyline
is Hongkong's signature attraction! Welcome to Hongkong, the city of
smiling people, great hang-outs, amazing food, and a culture that is
both modern and traditionally sound.
Quaint little villages lie
inside proud walls that were initially built as protection from
external attacks. Some of these are over 500 years old and still
standing, keeping the cherished heritage intact. Bustling markets are
one of the places you'd want to scour and sample fresh organic local
produce like Bok
Choi Choi Sum, Pumpkin, Dragonfruit, Sweet Potato, wild bananas,
Strawberries, Wolfberries, Lemons, White Radish, Beetroot, Baby
Carrots, Ginger, Taro and Okra, Water Spinach, Lettuce, White
eggplants, Chinese cabbage, sweet corn and Bittergourd, Pomelos,
Lychees, Longan and Mangoes!
Hongkong
takes pride in it's seafood preparations. It is stir- fried, grilled,
diced, stuffed, fried , an is seasoned with a less-is-more approach.
You can try the steamed fish that comes seasoned with fresh ginger,
mushrooms, dried fruit peel, and shallots! And this is just your
first dig into their magnanimous food culture!
Noisy,
colorful, and filled with chantings, the temples in Hongkong are
cloaked in the smell and smoke of incense sticks. After you have had
all the fun hopping around the streets, settle into solitude than
will come to you at the steps of the temple.
Macau
is a fast paced, trendy city filled with enthusiasm and style. Once
here, you absolutely must visit the ruins of St. Paul. One of the
most coveted tourist attractions, St. Paul was built in the 17th
century and was destroyed in a fire in the year 1835. What remains
now is the facade of the Church for everybody to imagine the
magnificence it once held between its walls! Ventian Macau, the
world's largest casino will have your spirits up and about the
tables. Indulge, may Macau bless you with a jack-pot!
Call
the power of the infinite as you gaze at the 10th
highest freestanding tower in the World- The Macau tower that soars
338 meters above the city! Yes, life is here. Lurking somewhere
between road crossings and pillars, waiting to jump at you any second
now.
