Hong Kong (China)
Take the Star Ferry across the Harbour from Kowloon to Hong King Island and ride the steep-track tram to the summit of Mount Victoria: here you’ll overlook one of the world’s great metropolises. Hong Kong is iconic, the epitome of modern Asia, and more than lives up to its fame. After you’ve feasted on the grand city and harbour views, tuck in to the local cuisine – this is one of the world’s great foodie cities, with a walk around any downtown block revealing a swag of top-notch restaurants, cafes and street vendors. Hong Kong, means ‘fragrant harbour’ and is indeed a place to follow your nose and explore with relish.

China Odyssey
Amanda - Minto, NSW, 30 Oct, 2011
So many memorable things, we had an excellent group and leader which really made our trip so fantastic. In terms of the sights, seeing the panda's are a definite highlight as is climbing the great wall, climbing yellow mountain, the terracotta warriors, tianamen square, forbidden city, tai chi in Yanshuo, learning to play Mahjong and shocking the locals that we could actually play! One of the funniest things that happened on tour was our group was posing for a group photo in Tianamen Square, while we were all lining up all these locals came out of nowhere and jumped into our photo, we then retaliated by jumping into a group of local's photos's (of course after being asked to join!)

Our local leader was brilliant, he went above and beyond what was required of him - even on days when we had free time, if most (or all) of our group wanted to do the same thing he would come along and organise everything for us, we never had to worry about anything as he was always fully prepared. Even when the trip ended in Shanghai, he asked us all to give him a list of the things we wanted to do and places we wanted to see and he wrote down the addresses and names in Chinese for us so that we could get around. On top of that he was a really fun leader and really interacted well with everyone on the tour.

"If you have limited time (like us), it's the perfect trip for a glimpse of 4 cities all different in their own way - from Beijing, to Xian, to Yangshou, to Hong Kong."
