Hong Kong – a city which will seduce you
Skyscrapers, luxury housing, and the beauty of the surrounding islands – all of these are things which could be said to describe Hong Kong. We however call it a city which offers you a luxurious feast for all of your senses.
But first we must mention what it is which truly makes Hong Kong stand out. It is not the magnificent architecture or the boutiques brimming over with luxurious goods. Hong Kong will seduce you with its mysterious fragrances and the irresistible flavours of its culinary repertoire.
A culinary superpower
Be it French, Cantonese, Szechuan or Japanese cuisine, the head chefs in Hong Kong just know how to bring these to a state of absolute perfection. It is said that God was exceptionally generous to this city when handing out culinary skills.
The breadth of knowledge and skills of the chefs here is so wide that regardless of your gastronomic yearnings, Hong Kong will simply find a way to satisfy them. Be this freshly steamed dim sum, wonton noodles in a bowl, hot pineapple, prawns or deliciously prepared tofu.
Thousands of cultural experiences
Hong Kong and the art scene – this is not only about the world-famous and highly prestigious art exhibition Art Basel which is held here every year. Galleries and museums in Hong Kong organise festivals and social functions dedicated to art all year round.
You will find yourself in a dynamic place brimming over with culture, in which Chinese roots mingle with colonial associations and the creativity of the talented local artists. Here, you will all of a sudden become a fan of the Asian Film Festival, start to learn Tai Chi or feast your eyes on the dragon boat races in silent wonder.
Shopping with no limits
Last but not least, this exotic location will wrap you around its little finger as soon as you see the amount of goods on offer. Everyone is certain to be amazed by the diversity of the endless number of products in the shops of Hong Kong. Only here will you truly see what an oversaturated market means. The city does of course offer luxurious shops and elegant boutiques in the side streets. And because the city does not impose any sales tax, you can buy things here at very reasonable prices.
