Whygo2 Hong Kong?

Letsgo2 employees have travelled extensively to the destinations we feature. Here are the five main reasons they would consider a visit to Hong Kong.

Shopping

Hong Kong is a shopping paradise with a range of value products, makes and brands within the malls, department stores and designer boutiques. The bargain based open-air street markets nestled among the towering skyscrapers are full of excitement and colour. There is no need to know Cantonese as sign language can be used to haggle and pick up the best bargains. The best time for shopping is during the annual extravaganza! As well as the usual best-value and tax free prices are summer promotions and special deals for visitors.

Food

With over 9,000 restaurants, Hong Kong has a world of exquisite, mouth watering dining options. The city is renowned for its fusion of Eastern and Western flavours and as an international city, many cultures and tastes are represented to make each dining experience vastly different. Naturally, there are plenty of Chinese restaurants which can be found in major hotels and shopping complexes. Whatever your taste, fine dining or casual, Hong Kong has it all.

Events

Hong Kong is the events capital of Asia. Whether it is an international festival or concert, or film and theatre, something special is going on in Hong Kong, every day of the year. Sports enthusiasts are spoilt for choice with horseracing, rugby, golf and football events taking place throughout the year. A massive fireworks display over Victoria Harbour takes place for Chinese New Year which is around late January or early February. In June, the Dragon Boat Festival is held and later on in the year is the Lantern Festival and the Festival of Asian Arts which are both major international events.

Heritage

Hong Kong is a city of diversity, a unique fusion of Eastern and Western cultures, where old and new meet. Culture and heritage in Hong Kong is shaped by a distinctive past, such as incense-filled temples and colonial buildings, and dreams of the future, with glass and steel skyscrapers and noisy festivals. Hong Kong's museums feature a variety of exhibits, whether you want to visit the earliest days of Hong Kong, check out the fascinating displays of Chinese art or explore the frontiers of science and space.

Nightlife

Hong Kong offers every kind of after-dark diversion, an energetic city of all hours! After you have eaten in one of the restaurants, such as a revolving restaurant atop one of the tallest buildings in Hong Kong, you can choose from upmarket pursuits such as opera and theatre or hit the town and find bars and nightclubs to suit any mood. The Hong Kong cultural mainstays are Les Miserables and Phantom of the Opera, if you fancy seeing a show, while traditional Chinese opera and shows are also popular.
