The iconic modern skyline of Hong Kong reveals what a long way the city has come - it’s more trading floors now than trading flowers. A symbol of the vast development of modern China it is also very much a unique place in the Chinese powerhouse, thanks to its former status under British rule. It’s far from all politics and commerce here, though, as this is a city that loves to play. There’s plenty for tourists to do: world-class shopping, fine dining, cheering with the crowds at the horse races or watching playful puppet shows. However, that fragrant harbour still exerts a pull, and sipping a drink as the sun sets there is nothing better than to watch the boats coming and going. . ### Areas & Neighbourhoods in Hong Kong **Central District** \- Hong Kong’s central district is the heart of this buzzing metropolis. In the evening this area lights up with amazing acrobatic and opera shows and a vibrant clubbing scene. **Hong Kong Island Harbour** \- This busy port is the first place you’ll see when arriving on Hong Kong Island.
