China is now becoming one of the world's leading superpowers, the country's economy being virtually unaffected by the economic crisis that hit the western world just a couple of years ago. Even before its rise, China has always had a huge amount of industry, one of which is the tourism industry. Hong Kong is a city-state of China that up until the late 90's was a British colony. Since then the tourism industry in the region has boomed, making Hong Kong one of the most visited cities in the country. It offers a whole host of incredible tourist attractions and one of the most spectacular skylines in the world. Everything from cultural museums to soaring mountains, the region has something to suit all tastes. When you stay in a Hong Kong five star hotel you can be sure that the service you receive will be second to none and that the hotels are in prime locations for exploring all of the sight and activities available in this wonderfully diverse and vibrant city.
One of the most popular tourist attractions in the city is The Peak. Standing at well over 1500ft, The Peak is the highest mountain on Hong Kong Island and there is a reason why this attraction is one of the most popular amongst tourists. Looking down, the view of the city skyline is somewhat incredible. A sprawling mixture of peaceful green hillsides contrast against the numerous skyscrapers and the views of the world famous Victoria Harbor are unforgettable. The view is not the only thing that will leave you speechless however, as the journey up to the top is something of an experience in itself. There really is nothing else in the world quite like The Peak Tram, which climbs around 1,200ft with the help of huge steel cables. The tramway is so steep that the buildings you pass on the way up almost appear to be leaning. With the revitalization of the peak tower in 2006, this destination really is the number one place to go in Hong Kong.
Another breath-taking sight is the Victoria Harbor. Known as one of Hong Kong's greatest assets, it is marveled at by people from all over the world no matter how many times they may have visited. Travel along the avenue of stars along the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade at night to catch one of the most magical sights available to see anywhere in China. The magical Symphony of Lights is a stunning light and sound display that utilizes over 40 of the cities skyscrapers to bring a musical extravaganza that you will never forget. Another great way to experience the magical atmosphere of the harbor is to take a ferry cruise at night, to get an entirely different, but equally as spectacular view of the Symphony of Lights. The harbor is also worth visiting during daylight hours, as it is always a hive of activity.
Many of Hong Kong five star hotel rooms are set in contemporary and ultra-modern buildings that truly capture the essence of the city. With all of the modern conveniences including Flat Screen TV, Coffee Maker and Hi-Fi systems, many of the hotels provide you with every comfort you require to relax and enjoy your holiday. The hotels are all set in prime locations for exploring some of the best monuments the city has to offer and also are in great locations for shopping and fine dining opportunities. Room service can be provided by the friendly and attentive staff and babysitting and child-minding facilities can be arranged on request at most of the hotels. Swimming pools and fitness centers are often featured at the larger hotels and restaurants and hotel bars are on-site to ensure you can enjoy fine dining right on your doorstep.
As Hong Kong is a huge economic and financial player of China, if you are called here on business a Hong Kong five star hotel can provide you with everything you need to carry out your work with as little distraction as possible. Wi-Fi facilities are available to all guests and fax and photocopying can be arranged upon request. Laundry, dry-cleaning and ironing services are also available at most of the hotels, so you can concentrate on more important issues. The 24hour check-in desk means that you have no need to worry about awkward flight times and many hotels feature business centers so you have all of the facilities you require.
