Hong Kong Hotels, Attractions, and InformationThe City of Life
Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon are traditional Chinese concepts that refer to energy
waiting to be unleashed... there being no better way to describe Hong Kong of today! The
excitement, exotic contrasts and 5,000 years of Chinese tradition combined with 150 years
of colonial influence... the magic and mystique are unsurpassed. Hong Kong was occupied by
the UK in 1841 and on July 1, 1997, the territory of Hong Kong reverted back to Chinese
sovereignty - after over 150 years under British rule. No trade barriers,
clear regulations and the free flow of capital - remain the same. The hustle and bustle of
Hong Kong continues and no better destination more suited to fulfill your travel demands
for business and/or pleasure.
