Hong Kong - Asia's World City
In Asia’s most cosmopolitan city, everyone seems to be in a rush, dashing off to work in some soaring high-rise, hurrying to catch a tram or a subway, speed-shopping through the countless shopping malls, hastening to make a date at one of the myriad glassed-in restaurants and chic cocktail bars. Beyond the 21st-century bustling and the accelerated tempo, however, the savvy visitor can find glimpses of old-world tranquillity: incense-wreathed Taoist temples; polished hotel lobbies serving afternoon tea in the English style; rustic remote walking trails; graceful tai-chi practitioners in tidy city parks.
Hong Kong’s relatively small size—the city “only” holds seven million people—superb public transportation system, cheap taxis, and bilingual signage make it a cinch to navigate. Just remember to slow down every now and then.
If you're heading to Hong Kong in the summer, attend the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival. Hundreds of thousands of people flock here each year to watch 5,000 athletes participate in dragon boat races. If you plan to visit Hong Kong in the winter, consider organising your trip around the 15 Days of Chinese New Year Celebration. It's one enormous street party complete with elaborate floats and performers. During your Hong Kong travel, also visit the Peak, the island's highest point.
For those who are interested in arts and performance they have a special highlight for it which is the Hong Kong International Film Festival. It is one of Asia's most reputable platforms for filmmakers,film professionals and filmgoers to launch new works and view fresh features. In focus on unearthing local new talent, it showcase the best of Hong Kong and Chinese cinema, as well as premiering world-class international works and there's also a seminars hosted by leading filmmakers from around the globe. The even will be held on March to April 2015, so don't miss it.
Hong Kong has a sub-tropical climate and four distinct seasons. Any are a great time to travel to Hong Kong, but autumn and winter are the most temperate. Spring brings in the humidity, summer is hot and humid, autumn is sunny and breezy, and winter is cool and dry.

Sushi
Talking about pampering your taste buds and trying something new at the same time, I would definitely recommend you the Shiok Maki. Given the name you would already imagine something mouth watering and scrumptious.
It is an maki made up of avocado, unagi and aburi salmon, drenched with the most amazing cheesy sauce that is seemingly a legit mixture of mayo and mentai, and completed with a generous topping of tobiko. Sounds tempting already? The first bite of it will totally change your perspective about shushi, it is still firm yet soft when you bite into it. The cheese will instantly melt in your mouth and with it's perfect blend of ingredients that coherent so well you'll feel an explosion of flavours in your mouth which is so heavenly you would have to get another bite just to savour the 'shiok' feeling again.
The Shiok Maki is hands down one of the best things I’ve ever had in life and believe me you definitely will want to try this at least once. I won't be surprise if you go back for more cause i'm certainly going. This is indubitably a place for a quick fix of Japanese food in between shopping around Orchard Road but try to avoid during peak period as there is usually a long queue for sittings due to the limited amount of tables they provide.
