Hong Kong

The hotel was opened in 1928 and expanded in 1994. It has received a number of awards and was even used in The Dark Knight!

It's wildly expensive. It's also old school luxury and a grand Hong Kong institution. Treat yourself.

Turns out the Ding Ding is slang for the tram. So fun. Goes from one side of the city to the other. The idea of ding ding is infinitely more appealing than the usual buzzzzz on the bus in a big city.

The Chinese goldfish symbol means abundance of gold. You can get to the market early. Located on Tung Choi Street.

Say a prayer in Sha Tin.

Stop here and pick yourself up and iPad with all those 19th-century writers you love!

Any hotel that has something called a "Wet Deck" is for me.

One of my favorite experiences was watching the sunset on the Hong Kong skyline as the lights turned on. If found Hong Kong to be a fascinating city and I could have spent weeks wandering around.
