No, this isn’t Anaheim, California or Orlando, Florida – it’s Hong Kong, and it’s bigger and better than ever.  Travel when the weather is most comfortable late in the calendar year, and you’ll have an optimal stay.

Hong Kong offers just about anything you can imagine: spectacular harbor views from the Sheraton’s Sky Lounge; shopping at Stanley Markets, Temple Street Night Markets, Harbour City, and the ever-popular Nathan Road; outlet deals at Central and Causeway Bay; and luxury buying at the renowned Shanghai Tang store.

Special points of interest to slow down your pace include high tea at the Peninsula Hotel built before 1930, and evening treks to the Peak, the highest location in the city.

Fine dining is always an option with venues like Morton’s Steakhouse, an American chain restaurant that combines excellent food and atmosphere.  Looking for simpler fare? Hong Kong is teeming with cafes and bars like the trendy and hip Aqua Spirit Bar.

If you’re traveling with spouses and children, family-friendly entertainment is easy to find as well with destinations like Tussauds wax museum featuring famous and historical figures.  Of course, if you want to splurge on the ultimate experience, Hong Kong Disneyland is for the taking.  Complete with a monorail, favorite rides like the Mad Hatter’s spinning cups, and the culminating light parade on Main Street, USA, this is an instant family favorite.

Whether you experience it at a leisurely or a bustling pace, Hong Kong is an international destination sure to please.
