Travel Agent Inc. - Hong Kong

Without a doubt, Hong Kong has all the facets of the big city, like smog, odor, 14 million elbows, and an insane love of clatter. But it is also efficient, hushed and peaceful. The transportation network is excellent, the shopping centers are sublime, and the temples and quiet corners of parks are contemplative oases.

Perhaps the most unique experience of visiting Hong Kong is getting flummoxed and fired by the confluences and contradictions of a Chinese city with multi-Asian and Western elements. This experience is definitely about savoring new tastes, weaving through a human gridlock, and humming some elusive "Cantopop" tune while slurping your noodles.

From the vantage point of Victoria Peak, overlooking the world's busiest deepwater port, you can see a city geared not only to making money but feeling good about it. At night, it's like looking down into an active volcano.

Despite its British colonial past, Hong Kong has always stuck to its roots, and the culture beneath the glitz is pure Chinese. Mind you, that didn't stop locals from feeling apprehensive about being reunited with the motherland when the British handed the colony back to China in 1997; however, it seems their unease has largely evaporated.
