Experience the Captivating Beauty of Hong Kong at he Shek O Country Park

One of Asia’s most premier destinations, Hong Kong is a sprawling metropolis and is a global financial and business hub. The territory which belongs to the People’s Republic of China is probably the best example of the east meeting west. From towering skyscrapers where million dollar business deals take place, to the serene gardens and temples and the gourmet cuisine Hong Kong has something special on offer for everyone. Among the many interesting sights and sounds that Hong Kong presents, the Shek O Country Park too is quite a crowd puller.

Located in the Shek O, Southern District in the southeastern corner of Hong Kong Island, the Shek O Country Park is a rustic marine park covering a land area of 701 acres. The park which was opened in 1979 is easily accessible through all the local transportation methods including bus and taxi. The park’s main attractions include Dragon's Back, D'Aguilar Peak, Hong Kong Trail, To Tei, Wan Village and the Shek O Beach.

The Dragon’s Back is a rising hilly trail located between Wan Cham Shan and Shek O Peak and the beautiful scenery witnessed here is unrivalled. The park is a popular location for evening walks, hikes and family picnics. A natural haven for wildlife the Shek O Country Park is also a good place to have a closer glimpse of a variety of animal species.

One of the premier luxury hotels in Hong Kong, The Langham Hong Kong offers a truly refined western type of luxurious living in the centre of the busy shopping and tourism district of Tsimshatsui. The property is in fact the only Hong Kong hotel which has the rights to claim the heritage of the legendary grand hotel. Stunningly decorated guestrooms and suites, elegant furnishing, lavish facilities and exceptional levels of service make The Langham Hong Kong a number one favourite among travellers.

Shan State $16.99 SHAN STATE North of Burma's central plains is the exotic and fascinating Shan State, a beautiful landscape in South East Asia located on the eastern side of Myanmar. Once forty Shan monarchs ruled there but they lived in hostile times as Burmese kings and Chinese warlords fought against them to gain control of their fertile land. We begin our journey at Inlay Lake. The magical beauty of this body of water has attracted and fascinated people since time immemorial and this unique lake is home to the Intha people. The next leg of the journey leads to a far more tranquil section of the lake that features floating gardens that are around a hundred metres long and two metres wide and consist of a densely interwoven carpet of water hyancinths. Mandalay, ‘The City Of Art', is located in the centre of Shan State. It was founded in 1857 and up until the British conquered it in 1885 it was the capital of the kingdom of Burma. The Mahamuni Pagoda is the centre of worship and is also where the Mahamuni Buddha is kept, the country's most highly worshipped Buddha statue. Around twelve kilometres beyond Hsipaw is the legendary Bagyo Pagoda. Surrounded by a magnificent wall it is thought that the sanctuary is more than seven hundred years old. An important festival takes place each year around Tabaung, the time of the full moon in February and March, and is the highlight of the town's cultural calendar. The Shan people in the north of Myanmar have most certainly retained their cultural heritage and Shan State is an exotic combination of both nature and culture and a land of beauty and joie de vivre!
