China & Hong Kong

China is the world's fastest-growing travel destination; but few go beyond the main cities and major

tourist attractions

Those that do are rewarded by engaging views of a vast land of unrivaled terrain, tribes and travel experiences.

Hong Kong has traditionally been one of the world's favorite destinations in Asia, and the usual gateway to China.

While visitors to Hong Kong from most countries including the USA can travel to Hong Kong visa free, everyone needs a visa for China. If this seems a contradiction since everyone knows the former British colony of Hong Kong has been a part China since 1997, one can only imagine the absurdity of having to check in hours early for the flight from Shanghai or Beijing to Hong Kong, and then pay the "International departure tax" and have to check through customs; more so if you happen to be a resident of both places in the same country and carry independent travel documents for each!

China, to its credit, has maintained much of the quality of life in Hong Kong (and the former Portuguese colony of Macau) through stringent border controls. These are being increasingly relaxed. Tourists from China now for the top category of visitors in Hong Kong, which is a positive and logical development.
