South Africa trip travelling to Hong Kong
Bali
Imagine valleys of emerald green rice paddy fields set in the shadows of magnificent volcanoes, and golden beaches embraced by indigo-white ocean surf;
Imagine a spiritual devotion that infuses every aspect of daily life, inspiring festivals and dances as charming as the island’s abundant smiles;
Imagine a brief moment of heaven;
Imagine an island that has inspired priests, artists and poets for centuries, thus earning it the title ‘morning of dawn’;
Imagine a place where shops offer anything from modern clothing to antiques and rare ethnic objects dart;
And when the sun sets, imagine entire neighbourhoods dedicated to night fun, effortlessly combining world fusion-food restaurants with exciting pubs and casual bars.
This is Bali.
Hong Kong
Hong Kong, officially the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China, is an autonomous territory on the Pearl River Delta of China. Macau lies across the delta to the west, and the province of Guangdong borders the territory to the north. With a total land area of 1,106 square kilometres (427 square miles) and a population of over 7.3 million, it ranks as the worlds fourth most densely populated sovereign state or territory.
After the First Opium War (1839–42), Hong Kong became a British colony with the perpetual cession of Hong Kong Island, followed by the Kowloon Peninsula in 1860 and a 99-year lease of the New Territories from 1898. Hong Kong was later occupied by Japan during the Second World War until British control resumed in 1945. In the early 1980s, negotiations between the United Kingdom and China resulted in the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration, which paved way for the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong in 1997, when it became a special administrative region (SAR) of the Peoples Republic of China with a high degree of autonomy.
Under the principle of "one country, two systems", Hong Kong maintains a separate political and economic system from China. Except in military defence and foreign affairs, Hong Kong maintains its independent executive, legislative and judiciary powers. In addition, Hong Kong develops relations directly with foreign states and international organisations in a broad range of ‘appropriate fields’.
Hong Kong is one of the worlds most significant financial centres, with the highest Financial Development Index score and consistently ranks as the worlds most competitive and freest economic entity.
Hong Kong is renowned for its deep natural harbour, which enables ready access by international cargo ships, and its impressive skyline, with a very high density of skyscrapers. The territory boasts the second highest number of high rises of any city in the world. It has a very high Human Development Index ranking and the worlds longest life expectancy. Over 90% of the population makes use of well-developed public transportation. Seasonal air pollution from neighbouring industrial areas of Mainland China, which adopts loose emissions standards, has resulted in a high level of atmospheric particulates.
