Ioften hear people say that two days are more than enough to visit Hong Kong and that it's nothing but a place to do some shopping. That's why, when I travelled to southern China last January,my plan was to stay in Hong Kong for only two days. In the end, however, I had five days on this amazing and dazzling island. With a mix of Western and Asian elements, visitors soon realise how contradictory and fascinating the city is.
