Hong Kong Island is everything you imagined and more. Neon signs hang over wet markets, designer malls glimmer next to skyscrapers and you can dine in style or slurp noodles on the street. But it’s also an island of green peaks and golden sands, where you can windsurf across a bay, camp on offshore islands or hike the Dragon’s Back. Kowloon’s swarming streets and haphazard high-rises show another side to the city-state, so take a deep breath and hop on the Star Ferry to grab a curry on Nathan Road, haggle for handbags in Mong Kok market and stroll along the waterfront to gaze at the celebrated skyline.
