Hong Kong FAQS Modern day Hong Kong bristles with skyscrapers and bursting with investment bankers, but Hong Kong is much more than a business hub – and you don’t have to be a cocktail-sipping Manolo Blahnik to get the best out of it. Every street corner here struggles for its own piece of the action. Shifty street-side astrologers vie with gleaming multi-storey malls, and busy beaches compete with cut-price electronic stores. Fairy-tale turrets and green hiking trails beckon you out of town, while steaming dim sum carts and harbor-view sundowners tug you back. Whatever you need, Hong Kong has the goods. Hong Kong International Airport is large and modern. Situated on Lantau Island, it connects to Kowloon and Hong Kong Island by bridge and snaking arteries of concrete and highways. Recently opened at the airport, to distract you a smidgen, is the large and spiffy Sky Plaza mall.  They have taxis to town from the airport  and the fast and convenient Airport Express train will whip you into town in 23 minutes. Catch it right outside the arrivals hall and get off in Kowloon or on Hong Kong Island. Hotel shuttles and taxis will jostle for your custom. While you are in Hong Kong, why not rent a tram especially if you’re with a large group of high achievers.  Adorned with party lights, the special open-topped double-decker can be seen rumbling through the city most evenings packed with unsteady revelers. Better still, test out your sea legs and rent a junk for the day. These are large, wooden, two-tiered pleasure boats, and can come with catering or without catering. Have your coxswain (PRESIDENT & CEO) head to one of the outlying islands so you can lunch at a local outdoor seafood restaurant and then spend the rest of the day swimming and lazing about. For a memorable Finale  and free – panoramic sweep, make for the Hopewell Centre at 183 Queen’s Road East in Wanchai, where you can soar up and down 40 floors in a glass “bubble lift”, at least until the building staff ask you to leave. One of Hongkong’s great institutions is Sam's Tailor which occupies a tiny shop in scruffy Burlington Arcade, just off Nathan Road, on Kowloon's “Golden Mile”. It looks unprepossessing – until you see the photos of satisfied customers on the wall. Sam's outfits have been worn by royalty, pop stars, movie stars and several US presidents. Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, Michael Jackson, Margaret Thatcher, John Travolta and Pavarotti have all come here to be measured by Manu Melwani. Good woolen suits start can be made in 24 hours. It is wise, however, to allow time for a second fitting.  Just perfect for your Award Dinner !
