Ever since the first Portugese explorers landed in 1513, Hong Kong has called to the West and the world at large to enjoy its multitude of cultural charms.
Centuries of exporting silks, teas and other fine, Asian, luxury items to European nations helped Hong Kong establish itself as a major trade and commercial hub – a position it still enjoys today.
Modern Hong Kong offers business and pleasure travelers an inspired variety of culinary, shopping, nightlife and recreational opportunities, making it among the most popular destinations in the world.
