You'll have to pack an extra bag on those cheap flights to Hong Kong. This is a prime shopping city for all kinds of treasures - electronics, clothes, jewellery, Chinese handicrafts. If your heart desires it, you'll find it somewhere in Hong Kong.
After the shopping, the fine dining and lively nightlife will absorb any traveller for a short spell. However, it's a misconception that Hong Kong is just a city-break destination, diverting enough for a stopover.
When you've bought up the malls and the markets, discover the rest of the territory. Go to the top of the town. The Peak is HK's top tourist attraction. Take a seat on the tram, which rises to 396 metres above sea level, and gasp at the views of Hong Kong, the high-rises giving way to the sea. Or, catch a ferry from Central Pier 6 over to Lantau, HK's largest island. The Lantau South Country Park contains sylvan glades, hiking trails and beautiful seacapes, all just a 40-minute chug away.
