In a couple of days, Hong Kong will be nearer to the UK. With the launch of Oasis Hong Kong Airlines, UK travelers will find it easier and cheaper to reach the Fragrant Harbor (literal translation of Hong Kong) of Asia.

Oasis Hong Kong Airlines is the first low fare, long-haul passenger airline that goes from Europe to Asia. Direct, cheap flights should be a strong incentive to help you decide whether you'd want to fly to Hong Kong for your next vacation.

Hong Kong is a popular destination for shoppers. The whole city is like a giant mall, selling European and American products/brands to exotic herbal medicines and Chinese silk. Chances are, they'd have everything for everyone.

Of course, Hong Kong has more to offer.

Victoria Peak is one the most famous attraction. It offers a great view of Hong Kong Island, the harbour and Kowloon. If you stay until the sun goes down, you will be rewarded with a wonderful view of the neon-lit skyline. Of course, there are entertainment, dining and shopping options, as well.

If you want to discover the city of contrasts, it might be best if you take a walking tour to see everything up-close. Check Hong Kong Walks for detailed directions and insights.
