• Chinese, (Cantonese) and English are both the official language here. So foreigners, who are planning to visit, should not have any problems exploring, and experiencing the culture of this vibrant place since English is widely spoken.
• Hong Kong dollar is the currency in use here. One American dollar roughly equals 7 Hong Kong dollars.

• Hong Kong offers many great upscale shopping districts that rival the high end streets of Shanghai, London and Paris. But the best places to shop here are the unique shops and street markets that exhibit the charm and uniqueness of the
locality.
• It is wise to look around at the various stores to compare prices before buying anything. One of the great things about shopping here is that sales tax is exempted on everything in Hong Kong.

• Disney Land Hong Kong is located in Lantau Island. This is the third International sight for a main Disney theme park. It is best to make reservations ahead of time for lodging as it tends to be packed, especially during the holidays.
Hong Kong also has a great natural landscape that can be seen by riding a train that goes all the way up to the higher part of Hong Kong Island. With so many things to do and sights to be seen, Hong Kong is truly a must see for any traveler.
