I
was born in Hong Kong but raised in Canada, so I find Hong Kong thoroughly exotic.
Yet, it also resonates with me deeply. Perhaps that's because like it, I am at
the same time both East and West and neither. Alison
Li, Journeywoman’s webmistress, Canada I landed there at night;
it was my first time in Asia. The skyline was mesmerizing -- more arresting then
other superb skylines I have ever loved. Jennifer Hile,
Irvine, California In Hong Kong one is constantly seduced
by the juxtaposition of incense-clouded temples and mirrored skyscrapers, stimulated
by an almost frantic urban energy and soothed by the peace and beauty found in
its vast expanses of lush countryside. Frances Bartlett,
Toronto, Canada Boy, do I love Hong Kong! Susan
Spano, LA Times Travel, USA Hong Kong is the safest city for
women I have ever lived or worked in. On the streets, midnight is as bustling
as midday. Christine Smith, Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Hong
Kong Crossing Victoria Harbour on the Star Ferry was for me
a classic travel experience. Jan Morris,
Travel Writer, UK Hong Kong is much more than the sum of its
parts. It blends the can-do spirit of the Cantonese with all the best
attributes of a truly vibrant international city. I am immensely proud to have
the honour to call it home. Judith Love Eastham, Hong
Kong I've been living in Hong Kong for three years, and can
vouch for what a great city it is - -interesting things to see, good shopping,
great food, and very safe. A woman on her own can walk around at night in most
areas and feel perfectly comfortable. Michelle
Cohen, Hong Kong Hong Kong is the supermarket of Asia. Eleanor
Coppola, USA (Notes, 1979) Ive been back to Hong Kong
four times now and each time I see and learn new things. Last time I stayed for
ten days and left still wanting more. Evelyn Hannon,
Toronto, Canada Hong Kong is a place I absolutely love to
visit! Ruth Wilson, Qantas flight attendant, Australia |
