Hong Kong beckons and baffles, like the plot in one of its award-winning crime thrillers. Behind the citys futuristic facade hide smoky temples, surf-beaten beaches and sprawling, cattle-graced country parks. Hong Kong quickens the blood, yet reassures with the rule of law, an unbeatable transport system and the worlds very best dim sum.
At only HK$2.50, the 15-minute ride on the legendary Star Ferry, with its views of the urban coastline and the shimmering waters of Victoria Harbour, must be one of the worlds best-value cruises.
