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.
