LOCAL LIFE

Read a testimony from Claire Masters, a local teacher:

Local recreational activity… “I always enjoy going to one of the beaches, sipping drinks by the beach at Shek O and walking the Dragon’s Back across the centre of Hong Kong.

I love Hong Kong because… “It’s such a vibrant, social city with loads to do from Chinese reflexology to high-end shopping.”

Best thing to do at night… “Go up the Peak and see the fantastic view on a clear night. There are also plenty of places to choose from to go and eat. Try local Cantonese food or experience cuisine from any country in the whole world.”
