Holidays to Hong Kong
Holidays to Hong Kong are great developments. Why not have a holiday or a vacation in the area of Hong Kong. You may want to see the beaches, the skyscrapers, the historic sites, the rivers, the port of the city. You may want to see the culture of the city. You may want a hotel, a villa in the area.
Hong Kong is located on China's south coast, 60 km east of Macau on the opposite side of the Pearl River Delta. It is surrounded by the South China Sea on the east, south, and west, and borders the city of Shenzhen in Guangdong Province to the north over the Sham Chun River. The territory's 1,104 km2 land area consists primarily of Hong Kong Island, Lantau Island, Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories as well as some 260 other islands.
As much of Hong Kong's terrain is hilly to mountainous with steep slopes, less than only 25% of the territory's landmass is developed, and about 40 per cent of the remaining land area is reserved as country parks and nature reserves. Most of the territory's urban development exists on Kowloon peninsula, along the northern edge of Hong Kong Island and in scattered settlements throughout the New Territories. The highest elevation in the territory is at Tai Mo Shan, at a height of 958 metres above sea level. Hong Kong's long, irregular and curvaceous coastline also affords the territory with many bays, rivers and beaches.
Despite Hong Kong's reputation of being intensely urbanised, the territory has made much effort to promote a green environment, and recent growing public concern has prompted the severe restriction of further land reclamation from Victoria Harbour. Awareness of the environment is growing as Hong Kong suffers from increasing pollution compounded by its geography and tall buildings.
Situated just south of the Tropic of Cancer, Hong Kong's climate is subtropical (Köppen climate classification Cwa). Summer is hot and humid with occasional showers and thunderstorms, and warm air coming from the southwest.
Hong Kong is frequently described as a place where East meets West, reflecting the culture's mix of the territory's Chinese roots with the culture brought to it during its time as a British colony. Although over a decade has passed since the handover, Western cultural practises remain, and coexists seamlessly with the traditional philosophy and practices of Chinese culture.
Hong
Kong International Airport is the main airport in Hong Kong. It is colloquially
known as Chek Lap Kok Airport, due to the fact that it was built on the island
of Chek Lap Kok by land reclamation, and also to distinguish it from the old Hong
Kong Airport (Kai Tak). So Holidays
to Hong Kong are great ideas.
