Take advantage of Hong Kong's prime location and easy access to its fascinating neighbouring cities in the Pearl River Delta. Occupying the low-lying areas of the Pearl River estuary, the region is one of China's fastest developing economies and manufacturing centres. The four principal destinations ?
Macau, Shenzhen, Zhongshan and Guangzhou ?provide amazing contrasts with Hong Kong while offering their own unique culture and impressive sights and attractions. Whisk off to the Mediterranean-style enclave of Macau, famous for its historical monuments, Las Vegas-style casinos and exquisite Portuguese-Chinese cuisine. See the fast developing Special Economic Zone of Shenzhen just across the boundary of Hong Kong. Or capture a bit of Chinese history by visiting Zhongshan, the birthplace of Dr Sun Yat-sen.
There is also a lot to see and do in and around Guangzhou, the provincial capital. With convenient and comfortable means of transport, such as cross-border trains and ferries, an enriching experience is never far away!
Visas are required for most nationalities to enter Mainland China. Visitors can book tours to neighbouring cities from hotel tour desks or concierges in Hong Kong. Tours booked this way will include a group visa.
