Hong Kong is not only a great stopover, but also a great destination to explore in its own right. Dubbed the 'City of Life', it is certainly true that Hong Kong never sleeps. Shops, restaurants and theatres are constantly teeming with both locals and tourists - so be prepared to brave some hectic crowds. A visit to the Victoria Peak is a must to get a great view over this bustling city, which is home to the world's busiest deep water port. For a break from the frenetic pace of Hong Kong, take a day trip to Macau, the former Portuguese colony. Much easier to navigate than most other Asian cities, Hong Kong has something to offer everyone - from the shopping on Nanjing Road to the Chinese cultural and historical aspects that lie under the modern facade, Hong Kong will not disappoint.
