China, officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is a unitary sovereign state in East Asia and the world's most populous country, with a population of around 1.404 billion. Covering approximately 9,600,000 square kilometers (3,700,000 sq mi), it is the third- or fourth-largest country by total area, depending on the source consulted. China also has the most neighbor countries in the world. Governed by the Communist Party of China, it exercises jurisdiction over 22 provinces, five autonomous regions, four direct-controlled municipalities (Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Chongqing), and the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau.

The HK Tourism site located near the Star Ferry Terminal on the Kowloon side of Hong Kong was incredibly helpful to us during our recent visit to Hong Kong. They were able to provide maps, tourist destination brochures and guidance that was incredibly helpful given the shut down of many attractions in Hong Kong because of the coronavirus situation.

Interesting to visit the Hakka houses which are communal living house with hundreds of smaller rooms and living spaces for families. Apparently during President Ronald Reagan’s presidency, the satellites picked up these rounded structures and spies were sent into Nanjing / Yongding China to investigate if these were nuclear facilities or missile launch buildings. Only then did they realize that these were villagers living in large rounded tulou !

Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous!! Although only having a four hour and a half hour stopover, this was one of the best travel decisions I have made. The lounge was quiet and on booking in, I was offered a 10 minute massage and use of the shower facilities. The shower facilities were fabulous (although some space to put bags and clothing would have been useful) with Elemis products provided. I was drinking Mumm champagne to go with the a la carte menu: I chose the lobster pasta that was made for me, not dished up from a communal dish, at the sit down, waiter-serviced restaurant. The chairs in the lounge were comfortable, although a foot rest would have been nice. If I travel through Hong Kong again, I will definitely book into this lounge again!!!

Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre

This convention center is known for the Golden Bauhinia statue in front of it, a symbol of Hong Kong's independence from the British.

Reviewed By SnowballAdventure - Barnet, United Kingdom

I had been looking forward to re-visit the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) as soon as I knew I was going to HK. This huge exhibition centre, with a rooftop designed to echo a bird soaring in flight, was built in 1997. It was used to host the 1997 HK handover ceremony and was also voted as the Best Convention & Exhibition Centre in Asia many years ago. To me, the most attractive feature of HKCEC is its exterior design and its architecture, as it's also a landmark of Hong Kong. Its rooftop was originally designed as a seabird in flight, but many people think it resembled the Sydney Opera House. Although I actually think it looks like a tortoise pulling the HK island towards the Kowloon peninsula. Apart from its amazing exterior, I also admire the interior. HKCEC is a huge exhibition hall which covers over 53,000m2. It houses 2 x 5,700 convention halls, 8,000m2 of function areas, 2 theatres, 52 meeting rooms, 7 restaurants and a huge open space area. Due to its advantageous harbourfront position, it also offers a fantastic view of the HK island skyline through its vast curtain of glass windows. We strolled up and down the exhibition halls and had a fantastic time exploring. The only downside was the building looked a bit dated than I remembered 20 years ago, but I believed it was just reasonable wear and tear. Personally, I love this venue due to my personal interest in beautiful and modern architecture. I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea as it's actually only a huge exhibition hall after all. However, I'll still recommend it to anyone who is nearby, or at least to go in and have a look at the inside of this beautiful building.
