Hong Kong
The former British colony of Hong Kong is still near the top of many people’s “must-visit world city” lists. With a population of nearly seven million people, Hong Kong is an energetic, noisy and vibrant urban space with a plethora of tastes and smells. The view of towering buildings against the backdrop of deeply forested mountains is one of many unforgettable images conjured up by Hong Kong. Factor in some serious shopping followed by a bowl of noodles and you could be in your perfect heaven. But should you pack your golf clubs? The short answer is a resounding yes!
