Honeymoon Adventure in Hong Kong
by Esther K. Choy
Imagine that you’re attending a live rugby match with thousands of people cheering on teams from around the world. Your adrenaline is running so high you take a break to enjoy some fresh-out-of-the-oven buns filled with steaming, hot barbecued pork. To finish off your day, you find yourself admiring an exhibition of French Impressionist paintings by Manet, Monet, Renoir, Degas and Cezanne.
Where are in the world are you? That’s right. You are on a honeymoon adventure in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is the perfect honeymoon destination for action-starved couples looking for excitement and tranquility. The city is home to several relaxing beaches, museums, cultural icons, historical sites, and world famous architecture to enjoy with your partner. Hong Kong is always moving and takes you along for the ride.
A former British colony and the home to nearly 7 million Chinese, the city is made up of Hong Kong island, Kowloon peninsula, hundreds of small outlying islands, and the New Territories, which connect to Mainland China. Most of the commercial and residential districts are located on the northern shores of Honk Kong island and the Kowloon peninsula.
Hong Kong is bursting with festivals and special events year-round to entice curious travelers. In February the entire island comes alive with festivities surrounding the Chinese New Year. A parade of colorful dragons undulate under a night sky lit by fireworks and light shows.
Thousands of tourists flock to the annual Hong Kong Arts Festival from February through March, while others come for the Hong Kong International Film Festival in early spring every year. In late March, fans from all over the world converge in Hong Kong for the annual Rugby World Cup Sevens to watch seven teams compete for the top prize.
