Destination Hong Kong.
Fasten your seat belts, Thai Arways 380 glides below the blanket of clouds, setting course for Chek Lap Kok International airport. On the horizon I can see the multicoloured neo signs on Hong Kong Island.
The city’s glisten between the hills like gemstones.
I love Hong Kong.
I was on usiness in HK. Ecoluxury consulting.
A startup on Causeway Bay hired me..
The Ritz-Carlton experience started with the check-in.
The perfect place to experience the vibrant energy and breathtaking beauty of Hong Kong.
This luxurious 5-star hotel provides guests with convenient access to all this unforgettable destination has to offer. After a working day I got time explore the city and relax and rejuvenate at a world-class spa. Got a bit of Chinese cuisine, the breathtaking scenery of Victoria Harbour. Just great.
For guests looking for a cosmopolitan experience, the stunning rooftop lounge provides a stylish venue for refreshing cocktails complimented by a picturesque bird’s eye view of Hong Kong.
The Ritz-Carlton has been named “Five-Star Hotel”, and The Ritz-Carlton Spa by ESPA “Five-Star Spa” by Forbes Travel Guide 2014, for the second consecutive year.
But if you really want to compare the soul of Hong Kong to that of another Western place, it’s not New York or London. It’s Sicily, of all places. Sicilians are islanders — tough and maritime. They have known colonization, revolution and emigration. They have their cosa nostra, we have our triads.
Both the Sicilians and the Cantonese are obsessed with seafood, smuggling, secrecy and saving money.
There’s a hint of Palermo in the hilly, narrow alleyways of old Central and in the shirtless, tattooed men lounging in Kowloon doorways. The city of Hong Kong may rub shoulders with New York and London, but its feet still dangle in the brackish water of a sultry, southern port.
Things to see: The simultaneously iconic and notorious Chungking Mansions is full of wonders – and while many Hongkongers and visitors may have sought out a suit or a curry in the infamous landmark, there’s so much more to this building than one can experience through such a fleeting encounter. In this expansive feature, we explore every nook and cranny of the building to uncover the incredible secrets that lie within.
This quality stay enables the Ritz to one of the greatest experience. Worldwide, not only in Asia.
Use the shoeshine and get a bit of China.
Things you should know: HK belongs to China, it is the world’s second-largest country by land area and the third largest in total area, depending on the definition of total area. Its worth to visit.
