We are impressed by how easy it is to get around Hong Kong and by how much there is to see and do. We took the metro from our hotel in Kowloon to Hong Kong Island in about 20 minutes. We walked to the Ferry Terminal for a view of the harbor.<\/p>\n

Then we walked through one of the upscale shopping centers to check out the latest fashions.<\/p>\n
