China
Hong Kong
Hong Kong is skyline and street food — ride the tram up the Peak, eat noodles in a hole-in-the-wall, take the Star Ferry across the harbor.
Hong Kong is the rare city where dense skyline and tropical jungle sit an hour apart. Plan around the harbor: the Star Ferry, the Peak, and one dim sum meal you'll remember.
