Glittering monument to unbridled capitalism, sentimentalized trophy wife of the Communist mainland, neon-encrusted mistress of the yearning masses, oh-so-properly managed former trinket of the British crown, fashion hungry trend-setting teen idol factory, Technicolor kung-fu gangster musical -- Hong Kong is all this and more. See some of our HONG KONG HIGHLIGHTS and then try and describe it to your friends in 1,000 words or less! You do not have to be gay to enjoy this package. Our mainstream guests choose us because they know they will get something better from a gay company.

Private transportation from the airport to your hotel by chauffeur driven luxury car. If you arrive early in the day, take a stroll in any direction and encounter a cross-section of Hong Kong's colorful history, from colonial-era facades and sky scraping architectural fantasies, to neon-splashed canyons of commerce and housing developments. Our local guide is available to join you for dinner and introduce you to the local gay scene tonight or on another night during your stay (Friday or Saturday nights are busiest). Don't miss a chance to take the fabled Star Ferry over to the Kowloon side of the harbor and ogle the electric fantasia of Hong Kong Island's skyline. Nightlife on Hong Kong Island orbits the outrageous Lan Kwai Fong entertainment district where you can hop onto the world's longest escalator for a ride up to the gay bar area in Central or the international restaurant district of Soho.

Instead of breakfast at the hotel, why not sample fresh steamed dumplings or noodle soup at a local fresh market or restaurant? From 10am-4pm your guide will show you the sights and will suggest an itinerary to match your personal interests. We recommend that first-time visitors see some of the following places...

Many first-timers will want to head up to the top of the Peak, via the vertiginous Peak Tram, to the highest spot on the island for incredible views of the city and harbor. Antique aficionados will love to poke around Hollywood Road in Central. A thrilling double-decker bus ride down the winding road to the other side of the island will take you to idyllic Repulse Bay and the fishing village ambience of Stanley Market, with notable colonial-period buildings sprinkled here and there. Hong Kong is a visual feast for fans of modern architecture. And nearly every visitor's favorite activity, shopping, may be enjoyed almost anywhere you go, from the trendy boutiques and galleries of Soho and Central to old-fashioned mercantile bazaars.

Hong Kongers love to have yum cha for lunch -- dim sum du jour with pots and pots of tea. Your guide can suggest some places to try local flavors depending on the area of the city you are exploring or try one of the gigantic floating seafood restaurants docked in Repulse Bay.

On the Kowloon side, don't miss the superb Hong Kong Museum of History where you can walk through life-sized displays from various eras, including traditional homes, urban shops and village festivals. Wong Tai Sin Taoist temple is always lively, often with hundreds of people making simultaneous offerings of fruit, incense and other spirit-foods heaped on newspapers spread on the grounds. Locals also come here for sage advice from a wide variety of fortune tellers who have set up shop in an arcade at the front of the temple. Afternoon tea at The Peninsula is another popular day-end activity.

If you have visited Hong Kong before, another option is to travel by ferry to one of the nearby islands. On these automobile-free islets you can see a slower, quieter side of daily life in South China and sample some of the best seafood around.

Extend your stay another day to visit the fabulous old Portuguese enclave of Macau. Otherwise, explore Vanishing Hong Kong in the morning or enjoy the free time until your departure for the airport for flights onward to nearby Beijing, Xian, or Shanghai.
