This former British colony remains the cosmopolitan, must-visit world city of former years. With such a work-hard, play-hard spirit, the city is one of phenomenal energy. And, when you are lost within the concrete canyons and snaking walkways of Central, the image of the city as a pulsing urban jungle seems only too real. But stand on the waterfront of Tsim Sha Tsui and look across to Hong Kong Island and a different picture emerges – one of towering buildings backed by deep green, thickly forested mountainsides. Travel up the Victoria Peak by tram and, after a few minutes, the tower blocks of the Mid-Levels give way to stunning vistas of harbour, islands and the sea. The eight-minute Star Ferry ride across Victoria Harbour from Kowloon is by far the most breathtaking way to approach Central. For most visitors, Central’s most interesting ‘sights’ are architectural. The district has changed out of all recognition since the 1970s, and the profusion of modern towers that have sprung up in the last 20 or so years all define modern Hong Kong.

Dominating the south side of Statue Square is Norman Foster’s phenomenally expensive (HK$5.2 billion) HSBC Building completed in 1985 is made of steel and glass and has the best feng shui in Hong Kong. South of the HSBC Building, up the hill, lie a few lingering reminders of Hong Kong’s colonial heritage. Climb the steps up to Battery Path and the cathedral precinct and you’ll find whitewashed, cool and quiet St John’s Cathedral, completed in 1849. Its entrance doors are made from the wood salvaged from HMS Tamar, the Royal Navy’s floating HQ that was scuttled during World War II, and numerous moving memorials and other historical relics are hidden away inside. The extensive Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens (Albany Road, no phone) overlook Government House across Upper Albert Road. Featuring dozens of animal and bird species and more than 1,000 types of flora, the gardens are small but full of interest. To the east of the gardens is Hong Kong Park with an artificial lake, a tai chi garden, an amphitheatre, and the architecturally stunning Edward Youde Aviary. Hong Kong is the meeting point with intercrossing cultures blended into a unique synthesis, while remaining characteristically Hungarian.
