Hong Kong, the city where you can never be bored! Once being part of the British colony, Hong Kong now has its independence since 1997. The weather and climate in Hong Kong is quite hot and humid, however being near the ocean means that there is a cool breeze that always passes through the city. Hong Kong has many beautiful beaches such as “Golden Beach”, “Big Wave Bay” and “St. Stephen’s Beach”. The “Golden Beach” is an artificial beach in Hong Kong, and the largest beach in the area of “TuenMun”. It is great to chill and to soak up some sun and maybe play some volleyball!
Some of the top sights to see include “Victoria Peak”, “Lin Heung Tea House” . “Victoria Peak” is somewhere that you have to see if you ever decide to visit Hong Kong. As the name suggests, it is on top of a peak! Take the tram up to the viewing area, where you can see Hong Kong from a different perspective while travelling up the steep hill – so remember to take your camera! “Lin Heung Tea House” (Fragrant Lotus in English) is definitely somewhere worth visiting! They do not speak and English here, so make sure you bring a long a local friend or you brush up on your Cantonese language skills! Here you can try out local delicacies such as the lotus paste buns or the delicious rice dumplings.
Something for the kids? Then Disneyland Hong Kong is just round the corner!

Whether it’s a hotel, hostel or a bed and breakfast in Hong Kong, you will have a brilliant time during your stay. So what are you waiting for? Book your next holiday to this exciting city and discover what it has to offer!
Burj Al Arab Review
0The Burj Al Arab or “Tower of the Arabs” once dubbed the “world’s only seven-star hotel”, needs little introduction.
The Building
The building itself is iconic: built to resemble the triangular sail of the dhow, a traditional Arabian sailing vessel, the Burj dominates the landscape at a massive 321 meters, set on its own man-made island 280m off the coast of Dubai.
The Location
The Burj is a five-minute drive from the enormous Mall of the Emirates and the Wild Wadi Water Park.
The Rooms
The rooms in the Burj Al Arab are famous worldwide. The Burj holds 28 double-story floors which accommodate 202 enormous bedroom suites. The smallest suite occupies an area of 169 square meters, the largest covers 780 square meters. Each suite comes with its own Jacuzzi, a vast reception area, a sweeping staircase up to your bedroom, and large windows showcasing the Dubai coastline.
The Facilities
The Burj is nothing if not ostentatious. Gold leaf is everywhere, there is even a giant fountain in the atrium, which projects water up to the roof. The “Skyview Bar” is suspended 200 meters up, offers incredible views, and is a unique spot for a cocktail or afternoon tea. “Junsui” (Japanese for pure) serves an array of Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Indonesian, and Korean dishes, and also offers breathtaking views over the Arabian Gulf. Billed as having “the finest seafood in the world”, the Al Mahara restaurant is actually below ground and comes with a colossal aquarium. For those who enjoy being pampered, the Assawan Spa is sure not to disappoint with its commitment to being the “ultimate journey to wellbeing”.
The Service
As you can imagine the service is excellent. Each suite has a dedicated private butler. Guests can make use of the Burj’s veritable fleet of luxury cars, including chauffeur-driven Phantom Rolls Royces.
The Conclusion
The Burj is of course incredibly expensive, but if you wish to witness luxury without restraint, it simply has to be visited.
